Highlights
Balkan Ruby 2024 was special to us as it marked a comeback after a 5-year hiatus. We held it in office spaces that had been cleared by the market layoffs that year. A contrast and the reality of our business theme. Back to business we were, and we hit all the small-business milestones. The audience was amazing and the content – supreme. But don't let us oversell the, judge it yourself.

Venue
Puzl CowOrKing is hosting us in two of their Greenhouse dedicated office spaces. Puzl describes them as:
Greenhouse earned its name for a reason, as this time we decided to use even MORE natural materials. Together with the massive wooden desks, raw concrete, and stylish metal elements that are already a Puzl signature, with the Greenhouse, we introduced the use of clay (for a more cozy vibe), earth-like colors (proven to be great for concentration and overall productivity), and more greenery than we’ve ever placed before on a floor.
We are located in the Greenhouse offices on the 4th floor of the Siven building. To reach us, you have to take the elevator after the Athletic gym, not the one close to LIDL entrance.
