FIDI Sustainability and Strategic Communications Manager Magali Horbert reports on the upcoming 2025 FIDI Conference, offering a glimpse into the charm, history, and unforgettable experiences awaiting attendees in Dubrovnik.
With the winter days at their shortest and familiar grey skies overhead in the Northern hemisphere, it’s the perfect time to picture yourself in the warm, sunlit charm of the Mediterranean. Imagine escaping to the Adriatic coast, basking in the golden sunshine as spring blossoms around you.
This is exactly what awaits you at the 2025 FIDI Conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia, which will take place from Sunday, 27 April, to Wednesday, 30 April 2025. This gem of a city, known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic,’ is rich in history and Mediterranean charm.
With crystal-clear waters, warm spring breezes, and a blend of medieval architecture and natural beauty, Dubrovnik sets an enchanting stage for our annual gathering.
Wander through the ancient stone streets, immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of bustling squares, or let your eyes drift across the sparkling Adriatic Sea. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dubrovnik is famed for its pristine city walls, terracotta rooftops, and its unique ability to transport visitors to another era. Whether you’re an adventurer, a history buff, or simply seeking tranquil coastal vibes, Dubrovnik has something for everyone.
An exceptional venue: This year’s conference will be hosted at the Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik Hotel, a modern retreat set amid the tranquil beauty of the Babin Kuk peninsula. Offering extensive facilities, including a significantly expanded networking lounge to accommodate attendees more comfortably, the hotel provides an ideal space for our conference. After the cozy setting of Edinburgh in 2024, we’re excited to offer more room to connect, collaborate, and network.
If you prefer an alternative for your stay, the luxurious Valamar President Hotel is just a five-minute stroll away. Both options offer outstanding comfort, panoramic sea views, and special rates exclusively for our attendees. To take advantage of the preferential FIDI rates, please make your accommodation booking via the FIDI Conference website.
Exploring Dubrovnik’s wonders: Alongside the usual program of business sessions, there is an exciting line-up of social events and optional tours on offer—perfect for adding a sense of historic adventure or luxurious relaxation to your agenda.
Whether you want to walk in the footsteps of kings, paddle along the coastline, or savor the region’s culinary delights, these curated experiences have something for everyone.
