down for some networking?
It is not without reason we claim Belgrade is the digital capital of the region as it is booming with conferences and business events. Belgrade has a very active IT community and therefore a great number of meetups for tech professionals. However, organizations from other business domains have also followed in these footsteps and, as a result, knowledge sharing became a very important part of Belgraders’ everyday life.
