First Day: Expert Presentations, Meetup and Networking Dinner

The conference began with a warm welcome from tekom Bulgaria and tcworld, followed by the exciting keynote “The Secret Log of the Blind Astronaut” by Angel Petrov and Kalina Boneva. Through personal experiences, the blind speaker illustrated how unique challenges led to improvements in technology, processes, and communication. She made it clear how accessible design promoted innovation, and how even small changes in documentation and design contributed to greater efficiency, inclusion, and clarity for everyone. Impressive proof that accessibility was crucial in every work process – whether in space or on earth.

After a short coffee break, the event continued with many interesting presentations on current topics such as AI, Visual Content and Video Creation, and Docs as Codes. Kathryn Reeb's Expert Speed Dating was particularly noteworthy. In short brainstorming rounds, the participants identified their strengths and challenges. This allowed experts and those seeking advice to be brought together quickly, which effectively supported exchange and collaboration.

The interactive game, in which participants had to find other people who completed certain tasks and take selfies, was a networking highlight. Prizes were awarded at the end of the first day.

The first day ended with a cozy networking dinner in a restaurant in Sofia, which invited participants to exchange ideas and get to know each other.

Second Day: Workshops

On the second day, the program included five workshops on Intelligent Content, UX Writing, Creative Content, AI, and Accessibility. Participants gained many practical insights and new techniques for their everyday work. The clear division into different work steps was particularly helpful, making it easier to understand the instructions and achieve the results.

The conference ended with a raffle, which once again provided everyone with some great moments.
