The Future We Create

From Regional Roots to Global Impact

With the Adriatics Tech Summit, we’re bringing back what we started in 2012 as SPC Adriatics, which eventually became the largest Microsoft partner event in Europe.

Back in 2012, together with Nenad Trajkovski and Toni Frankola, Adis Jugo had this crazy idea: what if we created a proper tech conference right in the Adriatic region? A real conference with international speakers and world-class content?

The Journey That Brought Us Home

From SPC Adriatics to European Collaboration Summit and now back to our roots – every step in this journey led us to create the premier tech conference the Adriatic region deserves.

2012 - The Crazy Idea

The Crazy Idea

What if we created a proper tech conference right here in the Adriatic region? That first SPC Adriatics in Zagreb was a one-day event with local experts and a few international friends. But something clicked. The energy, the hunger for knowledge, the connections – it was clear we had identified a real need.

2016 - World-Class Event

World-Class Excellence

By 2017, SPC Adriatics had grown into something remarkable. 44 world-class speakers, including 36 Microsoft MVPs and 7 Microsoft Certified Masters, all gathered in Zagreb. People flew in from New Zealand, South Africa, and beyond. The conference achieved an almost unheard-of average session rating of 4.78 out of 5.00.

2018 - Strategic Evolution

Strategic Evolution

In 2018, we made a strategic decision. We took the model of SPC Adriatics and transformed it into the European Collaboration Summit, relocating to Germany. The demand extended far beyond regional borders, and we had to serve a broader European audience while maintaining our community-driven approach.

2025 - ECS Success

Proven Success

ECS became a tremendous success – growing to over 3,000 attendees annually and becoming the largest Microsoft Partner Event in Europe. But every year, professionals from the Adriatic region would tell us they wished they could bring their whole teams, but travel costs and time away were prohibitive. We had left a gap in our home region.

2026 - Coming Home

Coming Home

We're bringing the proven concept of the European Collaboration Summit to Sarajevo, with the same world-class content and production quality. Adriatics Tech Summit 2026 will carry that same DNA, becoming the premier gathering for IT professionals in the region.

Why Sarajevo?

The decision to re-launch Adriatics Tech Summit in Sarajevo was based on careful analysis and perfect timing. Several factors aligned to make this the ideal location and moment.
