Shape the present. Build the future
The Var Group Convention is an event dedicated to companies that want to shape their present in order to build a solid, sustainable and successful future for both themselves and the communities they do business in.
Talks, workshops, the Experience Valley and direct contact with leading international brands which turned digital evolution into the core of their business: everything packed into a two-day event combining current and future business insights, thanks to the live experimentation of new technologies and the futuristic influences brought into play by the Hackathon.
Var Group will take you on an immersive experience getting in touch with the colours and shapes of technological innovation, together with national and international speakers, digital artists and revolutionary minds.
