EBDVF 2026 Speakers Corner

The EBDVF Speakers Corner aims at offering additional space to engage and communicate with the broader audience, in a more ad-hoc fashion, complementing the EBDVF programme and tracks. For its 10th edition, EBDVF will have a secondary stage located in the epicenter of all networking activities: the exhibition hall. There, participants will be invited to share updates on their latest accomplishments, disseminate calls to action or share nice memories from previous EBDVFs.
