Attending Webit.Foundation in Sofia has been an eye-opening experience. The energy here is incredible, with people from all over the world coming together in Sofia to discuss the future of technology. I’ve had the chance to sit in on some fascinating talks, covering everything from AI and blockchain to mobility to digital health and the future of work. One of the most interesting sessions I attended focused on how AI is transforming industries in ways we didn’t even think possible a few years ago. It’s not just tech for tech’s sake – there are real, practical applications that could change the way we live and work. Another highlight for me was hearing from startups working on some really creative solutions, especially in the sustainability space. The networking has been another key part of the event. I’ve met some amazing people, both speakers and fellow attendees, who are just as excited about where this space is headed. It’s refreshing to connect with people who share a similar passion for innovation and to exchange ideas in person. Overall, Webit has been a great mix of learning and inspiration. There's a lot to process and think about, but I’m leaving with new perspectives and some exciting ideas. Definitely worth the trip!
