Piran

We're happy to return to Portorož every year for our annual conference.

For centuries, the town of Portorož is famous as a health and spa resort with its centuries-old healing tradition with the natural healing factors as well as the rich wellness offer of Terme Portorož. When all this is combined with luxury accomodation in the beach hotels offering panoramic views, you get an unique experience. In addition, Portorož also offers premium culinary experience based on Mediterranean diet and is an excellent choice for travellers looking for active holidays, nightlife, relaxation or business meetings.

Just a few minutes away from Portorož, there is a town grown on salt

This medieval town, whose architecture was influenced by its proximity to Venice, is without a doubt one of the most romantic, most preserved and most authentic Mediterranean towns. The strong historical influence is complemented by the Mediterranean ambience and various cultural attractions that are mostly linked to the tradition of salt making.

All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at our conference are expected to follow JCON’s code of conduct.

Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.

We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.

We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media.

Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.

Become a sponsor

If your intent is either to present new solutions and products, look out for talented IT professionals, present yourself to a wider technically oriented audience or if you just like technology as we do, then the sponsorship at MakeIT 2023 is the right choice to stand out from the crowd.

Become a sponsor at the MakeIT 2023 conference and assist us in creating a general overview on the current trends in development and implementation of IT solutions related to Oracle technology on premises and in the cloud.

We offer various predefined collaboration packages, however we can also create an offer which suits your needs. Feel free to reach us via email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
