DK FESTIVAL
Well, well, well… aren’t you back for more. And we can’t blame you.
DK Festival is recognized as one of the best events in the world for its out-of-the-box approach, unique program, provocative production and top-notch organization.
All year round we scour the world for the people who reshape the industry. Only the most interesting leaders and thinkers will shine on our stage in Hotel Lone and explain — what the fuck is going on in the world of communications.
Three days, the best makers, no bullshit, no filler talks.
If you need any more convincing, read how we totally rocked Rovinj during DK2023.
NO BULLSHIT
Our speakers don’t talk about trends. They create them. Every year we think of new ways to give you something a bit different. Watching talks from the pool, taking sunrise or sunset yoga classes on the coast, partying all night long or just enjoying the Mediterranean sun while living the Croatian dream — drinking coffee while watching the livestream of the talks — you name it, we had it. And if you were wondering — yes, we are preparing some really amazing stuff this year as well.
ONLY THE BEST
Considering how some of the world’s greatest industry experts became members of our community — including Edward Snowden, whistleblower and cybersecurity expert, Sir Martin Sorrell, the man behind the WPP empire, Susan Credle, a creative powerhouse, Jayanta Jenkins, Global Head of Creative for Twitter, iPhone’s Siri or even the notorious Peter Sunde who co-founded The Pirate Bay — maybe you’d want to ask yourself if you would join us too. But we’re sure you have better things to do, right?
FUCK/LOVE
We don’t run away from controversial topics. We invite them. We celebrate everything you love about the communications industry but also expose and try to diminish its negative aspects that just rub you the wrong way. Unless you’re into that kind of thing? It is time to head towards innovative thinking and creating today so that tomorrow we can make a change together. So… Fuck advertising. Love advertising. Fuck PR. Love PR. Fuck technology. Love technology. Fuck CEO. Love CEO. @ DK2024.
