Following last year’s successful event in Kraków, neext, a leading European discussion platform, returns on 6 May to Warsaw.
This year’s edition will focus on competitive cities and the ways in which their value is created and shaped. In today’s race for talent, investment, and residents, cities win not through size, but through the quality of the spaces they create. Thoughtful design, smart functionality, and efficiency make places more attractive, vibrant, and valuable — for both organizations and communities. That is why we invite you to a shared reflection on what defines a competitive city today and how conscious design shapes long‑term urban value.
Venue: Nowy Styl Showroom, Oxygen Building, ul. Jutrzenki 137a, 02‑231 Warsaw
Date & time: 6 May, from 5:00 PM
Keynote: Oskar Zieta, designer, architect, and visionary
