Cluj-Napoca’s IT community events already have a strong history in the country. Cluj-Napoca has distinguished itself, not only as the 2nd city of Romania, as the growing IT pole of the country but also as a city with a vibrant event marketplace. The eventification of any destination worldwide brings along an intense event agenda targeting both locals and tourists. Business, science and tech events are part of the process and one of their advantages is that they have the power to generate niched traction. In this context, Cluj-Napoca, the heart of Transylvania, Romania sets itself apart with a colorful bouquet of high-profile IT and innovation events.

Events For Developers, Tech Business Executives, IT Lecturers, Students and IT Users

Cluj-Napoca’s IT community events are designed for different audience segments. Some of them target C-level executives and business managers, others target directly developers and IT professionals, some involve researchers, students and their teachers, while another category adresses a mix of IT sector providers and beneficiaries. In 2022, in spite of the reverbations that the agression against Ukraine had on the close neighbours, like Romania, the local community worked together and continued with a spicy tech event agenda. Along with the post-pandemic ease on regulations, the regional IT community was among the first to engage in hybrid events staging – using streaming and mixed audio-video technologies at its best. Our team at Softech │Codespring tried to attend and support these local initiatives in order to participate in the collective effort of promoting Cluj-Napoca as a robust IT, namely software development center.
