DK FESTIVAL
As the biggest regional festival of creativity and communications, we don’t fit into the usual festival mold — and neither do you if you’re here. Both you and us don’t do safe. We don’t do predictable. We tickle eyeballs, ruffle feathers and make you think twice. Check out how we did that last edition.
The British Association Excellence Awards recognize DK as one of the best events in the world for convention-crushing creativity colliding with the boldest minds in the industry. Provocative production. Groundbreaking talks. No dullness in sight. No filler talks or over-polished panels. Just unfiltered brilliance and a vibe you won’t find anywhere else.
So far we’ve brought you beachside talks next to the Adriatic coast, unfiltered debates poolside, provocative speakers that no one even dared invite and glamorous award shows. We filled our festival halls with pioneers, disruptors and fearless thinkers. Our 360° stage welcomed Dan Ariely, a globally renowned behavioral economist and psychologist, Edward Snowden, whistleblower and cybersecurity expert, Sir Martin Sorrell, the man behind the WPP empire, Susan Credle, a creative powerhouse, Jayanta Jenkins, then Global Head of Creative for Twitter, the voice behind iPhone’s Siri, and even the notorious Peter Sunde, co-founder of The Pirate Bay. But you have better things to do, right?
DK is more than just a festival. Whether you’re here to party until dawn, soak up the Mediterranean sun or question everything you thought you knew about creativity, communications, digital industry, design, public relations and technology, you’ll find your place here with us.
