On-demand recordings are also available post-event through the RingCentral digital platform, providing replay access for registered participants. ### What sectors does the programme address? The programme covers finance, healthcare, biotechnology, insurance, media, enterprise software, space technology, digital payments, and cybersecurity, with AI as the unifying theme across all tracks. ### Who is Digitalk Conference + AI NOT designed for? - Academic researchers or PhD-level professionals seeking peer-reviewed or deeply technical AI content - Consumer technology enthusiasts with no enterprise or business mandate - Professionals outside the B2B environment, such as retail consumers or non-commercial practitioners - Organisations looking for a large-scale global conference with tens of thousands of attendees and a multi-day exhibition floor - Parties seeking a dedicated AI hardware or semiconductor event focused on infrastructure rather than business strategy ## The venue: Sofia Event Center Sofia Event Center is located on the third floor of Paradise Center, a major commercial complex at Cherni Vrah Blvd 100 in the 1407 district of Sofia, Bulgaria.
