Official kick-off of the BOLD Unconference 2023: Our hosts take the center stage. Réka Artner, Head of BOLD Community, beams with pride as she welcomes guests to the Skylounge at the Austrian Economic Chamber.

Standing on the circular stage, Réka establishes the ambiance for the days ahead. The BOLD Unconference embodies the spirit of overcoming fears and embracing open-mindedness. Hence, it's essential to absorb the insights and experiences of those from various sectors.

"Look around this room," she says. "Among us are neurosurgeons, founders, MIT professors, musicians, and so many more. Each one shares the same will and drive for innovation as you do." She encourages the BOLD Community to engage in meaningful dialogues, brimming with ideas and inspirations.
