Transform your conference experience at Central Europe’s most unique SaaS gathering – where business insights meet Mediterranean bliss
You know how conferences typically go: long days of back-to-back sessions, rushed coffee breaks, and evenings spent figuring out how to get to the next networking event across town. By the end of it, you’re exhausted, and the only thing you’ve really connected with is your hotel bed.
That’s not what we wanted for SaaStanak.
When we started planning our conference, we asked ourselves: What if we created an event that felt less like a marathon and more like a retreat? What if we built a space where people could truly connect—not just with ideas, but with each other?
That’s how SaaStanak became what it is today: a unique blend of work and play, set against the stunning backdrop of the Croatian coast.
From Zagreb Bar to Coastal Paradise: The SaaStanak Story
What began in 2021 as an intimate gathering of 12 SaaS enthusiasts in a Zagreb bar has evolved into something extraordinary. Over pizza and local brews, we discovered something magical – people connect best when they’re relaxed. Fast forward to 2024, and that same spirit helped us pack a night club venue (yes, really!) with 400 of Central and Eastern Europe’s most innovative SaaS founders and operators.
But we didn’t want to lose that intimate, relaxed vibe. So when we started planning our 2025 conference, we decided to take it to the next level.
Why Šibenik? Because Location Changes Everything
Imagine brainstorming your next growth strategy while gazing at the crystal-clear Adriatic. Picture deep-diving into bootstrapping tactics during a break between wine tasting and a sunset boat tour. This isn’t just conference daydreaming – it’s the reality we’ve created at SaaStanak 2025.
For attendees, this means a chance to learn from real, unfiltered stories and build relationships that last long after the event ends. For partners and sponsors, it’s an opportunity to engage with a passionate audience in a setting that encourages genuine relationships. Whether it’s over a glass of local wine or during a beachside chat, the connections made at SaaStanak are deeper and more authentic than what you’d find at a traditional conference.
Beyond Just Another Conference
What sets SaaStanak apart isn’t just its stunning location – it’s our commitment to building a year-round community. Throughout 2024, we hosted 15 events across Central and Eastern Europe, and we’re matching that number with events leading up to our May 2025 gathering. This isn’t about one-off networking; it’s about fostering relationships that continue to deliver value long after the last session ends.
For founders and operators, this means access to a network that understands your unique challenges in the CEE market. For partners and sponsors, it’s an opportunity to build authentic relationships with the region’s most dynamic tech leaders.

– Unfiltered stories from founders who’ve navigated the unique challenges of scaling in CEE
– Intimate workshop sessions where real problems get solved
– Curated experiences that blend local culture with networking opportunities
