eBF - Sharing knowledge about digitization of procurement and orders in a unique festival atmosphere / Ostrava - 20 - 23 May 2025
With great pleasure, we announce that preparations for the 21st edition are in full swing! We’re gathering your feedback and inspiration, sketching out the first outlines of the festival stages and the accompanying networking village, and enthusiastically working on the program map. All of this is driven by our vision to make this year’s event even better and more unforgettable. After celebrating twenty years and an incredible shared journey—transforming from a specialized procurement conference into the largest festival of its kind in Central Europe—we are ready for the next exciting challenge. We can already promise you that the 21st edition will be packed with expert lectures and hands-on workshops where you can share experiences in the digitalization of corporate procurement and public tenders. There will also be the FSA (Fair Sourcing Awards) gala, the queen of updos, the morning run, and our charming “Hawaii” village. Join us this May to experience the atmosphere that makes eBF a festival you’ll never forget!
