Dr. Ulrich Harmes-Liedtke

"SymOrg 2026 combined excellent organization with a genuinely warm, intellectually curious atmosphere. Kopaonik proved to be an ideal venue, close enough for real conversation between sessions, far enough from routine to think freshly. As a keynote speaker, I was struck by how engaged the audience was across disciplines, from organizational scientists to practitioners."

Dr. Justin Paul
University of Puerto Rico, USA
"The SYMORG 2026 conference was very well organized by the University of Belgrade. They have an excellent team under the Deanship of Prof Marko and Vice Dean Boris. Sessions were intellectually stimulating."

Dragan Gajić

"Participating in the SymOrg 2026 Business Forum was a refreshing experience — and a welcome change from the tech conferences I usually speak at. What made it particularly valuable was the diversity of the panel: leaders from banking, logistics, food production, and distribution, all tackling the same question of organizational resilience from very different angles. The cross-industry perspective sparked conversations I wouldn't have had in a purely tech setting. The topic — how organizations adapt under permanent disruption — couldn't be more relevant, and the open, direct format encouraged honest exchanges rather than polished talking points. Well organized, great energy, and genuinely useful discussions. Looking forward to future collaboration."
