The eBF programme is always a tough nut to crack, as it regards quite a few quality-consuming parameters. It takes quite a long time to develop because it requires a lot of consultation, the selection of the most relevant trends and issues, practical examples and case studies, and the cooperation and coordination of a multitude of curators, and speakers so that everything is in harmony with each other, and the themes are related, up-to-date, attractive, and everyone is able to choose from our tailor-made programme.

We believe that this year we managed to do it really well. A number of scenes with themed blocks and fine-tuned highly contemporary topics. Nothing is perfect, but this programme map really comes close.
