eBF - Sharing knowledge about digitization of procurement and orders in a unique festival atmosphere / Ostrava, Dolní Vítkovice, Vítkovická 3369 - 19 - 22 May 2026
We are pleased to announce that we have started preparations for the 22nd edition of the eBF Festival. This year's edition was great - thank you to everyone who was part of it! Your feedback and energy infused new inspiration into our veins, and we are already excitedly sketching out the first contours of the next installment. Festival stages, networking town and programme map, we already have the basic idea. After the successful 20th edition and this year's euphoric 21st, we have another big challenge ahead of us - the 22nd edition, which we want to take a step further. You can look forward to expert lectures, hands-on workshops, sharing of experiences in digitizing corporate purchasing and procurement, and of course the traditional FSA (Fair Sourcing Awards) gala, the queen of dreadlocks, the morning run and the unmistakable atmosphere of our Hawaiian town.
Come join us in May 2026 to experience the atmosphere that makes eBF a festival to remember!
