A special challenge was the complete darkening of the main hall of Serbia, which was carried out from the outside of the dome. The setup in the main hall included a special construction for hanging large areas of LED screens, a specially modified tracing system for complete lighting, as well as a 3D scenography inspired by geometric shapes, on the surface of which abstract animations were projected, created exclusively for this occasion.
The first “immersive room” in the region was created in the Montenegro salon, which allowed participants to travel through the digital world of science and vision of the future.
One of the most followed and interesting panelists at this year’s WBDS was definitely Sofia, the more famous humanoid robot. Robot Titan, the star of the informal part of the summit, had an interactive performance and a photo shoot with the audience during the breaks of the conference, which was highly noticed and followed on all social networks.
Also, a significant segment in the organization of this event was the design of information platforms – two sites and an application.
Their role was to inform the participants about the event itself, the program, the speakers, as well as the registration of the participants. The sites and the application are regularly updated with new information (agendas, photos, notifications…) for visitors.
At the very end of the conference, a WBDS party was organized in BitefArtCafe for 300 guests, where guests could enjoy covers of popular foreign hits by the band Perpetuum Mobile, as well as DJ Dada Selectah.
