The Metropolitan Forum is behind us!

The main theme of the event was digital transformation - not as a buzzword, but as real actions, tools, and decisions made every day in public administration. The Forum took place on Monday, April 27, 2026.

The Forum brought together practitioners and experts: local government representatives, as well as IT and organizational change specialists. It was a great opportunity to exchange experiences and explore practical solutions supporting digitalization - from the safe use of AI, through digital document workflows, to the implementation of cashless payments.

Alongside the panel discussions, workshops were held, and the exhibition zone featured 17 companies presenting practical solutions.

The study programme is currently under development, with a planned start date of October 1. More details coming soon.
