AI is not waiting. Who will build the economies of the next 5 years?
Webit is not a technology conference. It is a look at the new economic system. On June 23, Webit 2026 will turn Sofia into the scene of one of the most important global conversations about the future of the economy, technology and leadership in the era of artificial intelligence.
Throughout the day, the program is structured as a coherent narrative — from geopolitics and state strategy, through infrastructure, regulation and corporate transformation, to real consumer applications and industries of the future. Instead of a series of isolated lectures, Webit 2026 creates a comprehensive picture of the AI economy over the next 3–5 years.
The event will bring together representatives of global technology companies, financial institutions, regulators, investors, entrepreneurs, city leaders and governments in Sofia — turning Bulgaria into a place where not only the future of AI is discussed, but who will manage it.
The program begins with the big question: can Bulgaria position itself as the AI hub of Europe? The opening discussions will focus on topics such as technological sovereignty, competitiveness, digital infrastructure and the strategic decisions that countries need to make today to be leaders tomorrow.
The focus then shifts to the infrastructure of the AI world – security, resilience and trust. The panels “Securing the AI Era”, “Can Regulation Keep Up With General Purpose AI?” and “Confessions of the Department of No” will put on the table the real questions of risk, cybersecurity, regulation and governance of AI in a world where technology is evolving faster than institutions.
But Webit 2026 will not remain just at the level of vision and policy.
The sessions “The AI-Ready Company”, “From AI Tools to AI Teammates” and “AI & Company Strategy” will show how AI is already changing the way companies work, make decisions, build teams and create competitive advantage.
The afternoon will move on to the real economy of AI – banking, payments, customer experience, commerce, robotics and healthcare. Topics such as “Rebuilding Banking Around Customer Lifestyles”, “Designing a Programmable Future for Commerce & Payments” and “How to Buy the Right Robot” will show how AI is leaving the labs and starting to rewrite entire industries.
The bottom line of the program is clear: AI is no longer a topic of the future. It is the new infrastructure of the economy, business and countries.
Webit 2026 is not a place for people who want to just listen to what is coming.
This is the place for people who want to be part of those who will build it.
