From 7 to 10 May in Rovinj, the DK festival program spreads across the hotel, the beach and the city, giving you more than one way to experience it. You can follow the talks, sure or you can step out of them, combine formats and end up somewhere that wasn’t on your plan to begin with.
THE PART YOU DIDN’T EXPECT (AND PROBABLY WON’T FORGET)
Some of the most interesting moments this year sit outside the usual program. You can see Rovinj, and the festival, from above in a DK helicopter. You can test how fast you actually think inside an escape room, where there’s no time to overanalyze and teamwork matters more than strategy. Or you can get a tattoo that stays with you long after the tote bag doesn’t.
THE CITY ISN’T JUST THE BACKDROP
DK2026 doesn’t stay in one place. With multiple stages and locations, you move through the festival at your own pace. You can catch a stream from the beach powered by Badel pelinkovac Summer, step into a session when it fits or leave it entirely for a guided walk through Rovinj. The city isn’t just there – it becomes part of the experience.
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, SOMETHING ELSE STARTS
As the day shifts, so does the program. DKLUB takes over with Edo Maajka, DJ Rea and DJ Leggero powered by Antique, and headliner while the beach runs on its own rhythm with Porto Morto and the PPPPP Beach Afterparty. And if you’re still going the next morning, there’s running club powered by adidas and yoga to reset the balance.
WHAT THE INDUSTRY ACTUALLY VALUES
In between everything else, the work gets judged, BalCannes, IdejaX & Young Lions, Effie & MIXX bring together the ideas, campaigns and results that define what’s actually working right now, across creativity, effectiveness and digital.
There’s still some time left, so get your ticket, this year’s edition is one for the books.
