Dear all,
We have agreed on the dates for the next summit!

- (Extended summit: TBC, partner workshops and meetings before 17th and after 21st of May)
- Where : Jelsa, island of Hvar, Croatia
- How to get there : Flight to Split, then ferry/catamaran to the island (more details soon). (Or to Zadar / Dubrovnik + bus + ferry)
- Initial budget calculation: For full stay (5 days) 100€/person for accommodation (breakfasts, pool and gym included - INITIAL OFFER; HOTEL: https://booki.ng/2m8z9WN ), other meals to be added
- *If you have any questions, ask on this post or on * "summit channel on slack"
Once we have a clearer idea of how many we will be and first feedback on budget, we will send you the link to book your summit ticket.
*More info on the website: http://summit.ouishare.net/hvar/ *
We’ll be adding details and updating this post as the preparations advance :-)
Looking forward to seeing you in Hvar!
Summit #11 team
EDIT 16.02: We decided to change the core dates from 18-22 to 17-21 May to enable better partner engagement locally (more working days, and 21st is a holiday in many countries). As well look out for an extended summit before and after those dates, more information in March!

One more update and my first Loomio post, att. @auli @antoniabanovic @saraheisenmann. We are also planning PARTNERS DAYS 16th - 17th MAY for both foreign and Croatian businesses (if the pre-event in Zagreb one month earlier attracts enough interest), and we are also targeting Hvar major touristic event ending 15. may. Since it is quite a long trip and wonderful destination would be great for all of you who can afford to come few days sooner or/and even stay bit longer to do so, the worst that can happen (if our plans go wrong last minute and you already have a plane ticket) is a few days more in paradise and the best thing would be few days in paradise plus business, cultural or networking opportunity:)

Hi @leinamestrovic and welcome to Loomio :)
Can you clarify where and when the satellite events would take place? 15 in Hvar, 16-17 in Zagreb? (summit 17-21 in Hvar). If something happens in Hvar on the 15th, is this when and where we could work on the "digital/smart island" theme?

Hi @daviddebelleville, nice to find you on Loomio:) We are planning pre-event in Zagreb in the time frame from 10 to 12th of April, and the rest of events are on Hvar, partners days should be two days before the summit, thus 16 to 17th on Hvar. Event ending on 15th at Hvar is just announcement, we have not yet received official confirmation about our participation as lecturers in sustainable tourism, or the rest of topic still negotiating with local administration.

Thank you Leina for these clarifications. So on May 17, there a both a partner day and then the beginning of the summit. Happy to read udpates on the these satellite events. Cheers, D

just a clarification: essentially the dates of 17 and 21 were supposed to be for arrival and leaving, so we wouldn't place any core summit activities on those dates, the actual beginning should be the morning of 18th.

@daviddebelleville we shall create a web with the event content within few days, just working on it:) @auli until tomorrow I should be able to give you the first draft.

Thanks a lot for the update @auli ! I have not been to a summit in a while and I would love to join this one. I will actually be in Europe at that time, some stuff already planned on these dates but I'm trying to find a way to join. But it would probably be not more than 2 days ... so the question is: as the place is on an island, I imagine it takes some time to get there with the boat - do you have any estimate on that?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Benjamin! Too bad that you won't be able to stay longer: the island is really beautiful :slight_smile: But to answer your question: the island is 1h30min/ 2h away from the mainland town of Split (2nd largest city in Croatia) by catamaran ferry or ferry (ferry 4x per day, catamaran 1-2x per day). All info and ticketing coming most probably next week :)

Updates coming soon! We're working on finalising the cost calculations and will have an online registration & payment environment for you to pay for tickets.
We're also discussing options for pre- and after-events (workshops with partners etc) in case you can spend a longer time on site. You can expect more information and a more precise program in March!
