The Weekend Media Festival is the most important media, business and communications event in Southeast Europe, and it calls Rovinj home. Held annually at the Ex TDR — the atmospheric former tobacco factory — the festival brings together thousands of professionals from marketing, media, digital, IT, technology and the creative industries for four packed days of keynotes, panels, workshops and networking.

Since its founding, the festival has grown into a must-attend event for anyone working in communications across the region. The programme comprehensively covers the latest trends in marketing, advertising, media production, data analytics, AI, sports business and more. Specialist tracks include HR.Weekend, Finance.Weekend, Investment.Weekend, Energy.Weekend and Tech.Weekend, ensuring there is relevant content for professionals across every sector.

Beyond the official programme, the Weekend Media Festival transforms Rovinj into a buzzing hub of after-parties, side events and business dinners. The late-September timing means the summer crowds have thinned but the weather remains warm, making it an ideal moment to combine professional development with the pleasures of this beautiful coastal town.

The festival is organised by Pepermint d.o.o. Tickets and the full programme are available at weekendmediafestival.com. Whether you’re a marketing executive, tech entrepreneur or media professional, the Weekend Media Festival is the premier industry gathering in this part of Europe.
