In just one week, on October 16, the Z Center in Zagreb will become the main gathering place of the regional tech community — hosting the fourth edition of Game Changer 4.0 Superconference, Croatia’s largest tech event. More than 100 speakers, five thematic halls, the Game Changer Awards ceremony, and a rich expo and networking zone will welcome over 1,700 participants from Croatia and across the region.
Five Halls, Five Thematic Worlds of the Future
This year’s Game Changer brings five parallel program tracks:
- AI & INNOVATION / DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION – focusing on artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, digital transformation, and disruptive technologies.
- GAMIFY / GAMIFICATION – exploring how gamification impacts healthcare, marketing, customer support, and social change.
- eCOMMERCE / DIGITAL COMMERCE – offering insights into the latest trends in online retail, video-driven conversions, and digital payment security.
- WEB3 STAGE by Alice in Blockchains – discussions on the future of blockchain, NFTs, regulation, and decentralization.
- STARTUP Hall – startup presentations, investment trends for 2025, and the “Rising Stars” competition.
The entire program will be accompanied by Esports content in the Hall of Game, where visitors can try out the new award-winning game Scum2 by Croatian developer Gamepires. Attendees will also get the chance to see the humanoid robot Captchu in action, along with many other interactive experiences in the Z Center’s Expo Zone.
For those interested in digital art, from October 15 to 19, the Z Center will also host an exhibition by American artist Gretchen Andrew, in cooperation with Shpigl art collective.
Awards Ceremony and Evening Networking
One of this year’s highlights is the first-ever public Game Changer Awards ceremony, held as part of the conference. Awards will be presented in more than 16 categories — spanning AI, fintech, sustainability, and gaming — with the goal of recognizing individuals, teams, and projects that are pushing the boundaries of the digital world.
