Golden Drum moves from Portoroz to Rovinj, scheduled for end of September
Golden Drum is scheduled to take place on 23 September in Rovinj, Croatia, instead of Portoroz. The festival will be organized as a live event hosted by Weekend Media Festival.
Each year Golden Drum celebrates those, who left their mark on the industry and managed to breathe a soul into a great idea. After a long break from real-life experiences, the festival is ready to rebuild the lost connection with a strong desire to reunite and reignite creativity.
“Golden Drum will embark on a unique journey. Our crew is ready to move and settle in Rovinj, Croatia, only 70 kilometres from Portorož. Indeed, this year we will celebrate creativity in all its glory on 23 September on the Croatian Riviera” said Mojca Briščik, president of the Golden Drum Festival.
Golden Drum Festival Pass includes a day full of inspiration, the latest trends, creative insights from acclaimed professionals, an Awards Show, and a crazy party to top it all off.
“We are extremely honoured to welcome Golden Drum to the Weekend Media Festival. Golden Drum has been a byword for excellence for decades in the creative industry. This collaboration connects the two biggest media, marketing, and communications events in the region. We are looking forward to getting together in Rovinj!’’ added Tomo Ricov, director of the Weekend Media Festival.
