The Dragon’s Teeth transforms Forty Kleparz into a city-within-a-city, 6 magical realms in a mythical kingdom, each with their own unique rhythm, audience and energy, each leading us towards a better future.
Choose your path: inspiration, connection, invention, celebration.
Your welcome - and your social hub
Imagine a large and bustling market. Dragons Gate is your social hub, your snack stop, and your sensory checkpoint.
Start your day here. Grab a coffee, grab your tote, collect goodies and gadgets, catch the vibe. Return throughout. Games, food trucks, pop-up moments and a giant screen keep this space buzzing all day.
On-boarding, immersion and integration.
Hive of shared learning
The beating heart of the festival. Talks, workshops, fireside chats, and shared learning across multiple rooms and multiple formats.
Real world experience, peer mentoring, functional deep dives, ‘go-to’ sessions and leaders sharing their top tips. Come here to inspire and be inspired – and chill, chat and process in the famous Orangery.
Practical, passionate and people-powered.
Big ideas and big performances
By day – host to keynotes, debates, and global voices in carefully curated sessions exploring the big issues: the future of work and future skills, artificial vs human intelligence, and Krakóws global competitiveness.
By night – transformed into a cinema, a concert venue and awards ceremony.
