The conference venue, under the majestic peaks of the Tatra Mountains, will enhance the intensity of the presentations, discussions, inspirational meetings, and networking opportunities. The aim is to create a space not only for the presentation of successful projects, which will undoubtedly inspire many, but also for critical discussion, the search for solutions, or the promotion of innovative ideas.
 
The subtitle of this year's edition is Healthcare Current and Innovative, so one of the key themes will be healthcare innovation. Can modern technology change the way we look after our health? And how will healthcare meet the challenges of the human resources crisis? Slovakia and the whole world are facing a shortage of healthcare workers. ITAPA will seek to answer the question of how to respond to this problem and how to ensure quality healthcare for all. A hot topic is cybersecurity and the protection of patient data: How can the digitalization of healthcare be balanced with the protection of sensitive data? Experts will present solutions that protect privacy while enabling efficient care.

Neuroscientist Boris Nikolai Konrad, eight-time world champion in memory and holder of four world records in memory, will also come to the High Tatras with the topic AI versus our memory - who will be the winner? The thematic continuation of the program will be the panel Successfully Slowing Alzheimer's Disease is Within Reach, where ITAPA will present innovations in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, including a revolutionary slowing of the disease originating in the USA. We will also look at Slovak healthcare through the eyes of our doctors working abroad. What approaches and challenges do they face in different healthcare systems worldwide, and what perspectives and recommendations will they bring?

An attractive topic is the digital transformation of healthcare. AI nurses or AI agents at the service of healthcare providers, AI in radiodiagnostics, robotic surgery, rehabilitation, or dentistry... The conference will present the latest technological solutions in AI and data analytics that can revolutionize healthcare. Closely linked to promoting innovation is a presentation aimed primarily at investors. Pioneering projects and start-ups can fundamentally change how we view health and healthcare. At the round table at the end of the second day, panelists will seek answers to whether 2025 will be a breakthrough year for Slovak healthcare.
