techsylvania
2014 Edition
We transformed Cluj-Napoca, a city with an well established local IT scene, into the hottest point of innovation and technological development in Eastern Europe. Extremely well positioned in Europe and relatively close to five country capitals – Belgrade, Budapest, Sofia, Kiev and Bucharest – the local IT ecosystem needed a gathering place for the region’s foremost creatives, technologists and innovators, where in-person inspiration was passed on, ideas and knowledge would be shared, projects and collaborations got started.
380 attendees joined the 1-day conference, with well-known national and international speakers and the 24-hour hackathon on connected and wearable devices
