Announcing the 21st Adriatic Controlling Conference: Modernizing Controlling in Ljubljana!

March 20, 2026

We are excited to announce that registration is officially open for the region’s premier event for the controlling community – the 21st Adriatic Controlling Conference! Following last year’s milestone anniversary, we are moving to a new venue in the capital city. Under the theme “Modernizing Controlling,” we will explore the future of the profession in the age of AI and agile business.

Date & Venue

This year’s gathering will take place on May 26, 2026, at the Hotel Four Points by Sheraton Ljubljana Mons. The new Ljubljana location offers even more networking space, modern infrastructure, and easy accessibility for all participants.

The Core Theme: Modernizing Controlling

The world is changing faster than ever. Rigid annual planning cycles are giving way to iterative steering, and controllers are becoming indispensable navigators of strategic alignment. At the conference, we will focus on how to bridge the gap between ambitious goals and real-world execution using advanced tools, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and agile principles.

Featured Speakers

The agenda is filling up fast with top-tier local and international experts. Among the first confirmed speakers who will share their valuable insights are:

  • Christian Brumm (Zalando SE) – Expert in financial operational excellence.
  • Pia Burkarth (Veridos Mexico) – CFO and Board Member at ICV.
  • Eva Esih (PsyBit) – Expert in the psychology of business.
  • Aleš Štempihar – On the role of the controller as a navigator in the AI era.
  • Dejan Kovačič (Peruna d.o.o.) – Finalist for Young Manager of the Year 2025.
