Generationally Speaking – IAB Bulgaria – Digital Day 2024

Presenting at IAB Bulgaria Digital Day 2024 on “Gen Z – The End of Capitalism as We Know It” was not just a highlight of the event for me—it was a moment to connect with inspiring speakers and curious minds. The atmosphere of collaboration and bold thinking made it an unforgettable experience.

I explored how Gen Z, perhaps unintentionally, holds the potential to tip the scales and reshape capitalism into a more human- and environment-friendly system. It’s a subject close to my heart, and I look forward to sharing more insights in a future post.

The event itself was a treasure trove of ideas, learning, and inspiration. I’d like to highlight some of the outstanding contributions that made the day so impactful:
