The Festival of Modern Owners (FOMO) is the ultimate entrepreneurship conference, and it takes place between the 21st and 25th of May 2025, in Bucharest, Romania. The conference is designed to welcome not only business owners and entrepreneurs but also freelancers, startup founders, developers, artists, and creators of all sorts. In addition, FOMO is not just another conference but a bootcamp, providing guidelines, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities.

What to Expect from FOMO 2025

FOMO is a 100% Romanian project, founded right here in Bucharest by a group of entrepreneurs, freelancers, and professional independents. With over 10 years of experience in entrepreneurship, marketing, and events, FOMO is a driven community that focuses on a practical, led-by-example entrepreneurship education. Their mission: “to deliver practical, no-nonsense entrepreneurial education and events that empower individuals to thrive in their ventures.”

Therefore, they know very well that in business, like in life, we can’t use the same recipe and expect different results. The one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. Hence, the Festival of Modern Owners offers four lineups of disciplines in which the attendees can find themselves, get support on their entrepreneurial journey, and grow their business. You can choose between improving sales skills, building a strong business model, immersing yourself in the latest technology, and getting on the right terms with state-of-the-art AI innovations.

Each discipline has its location, lineup, and schedule, so make sure you make an informed decision and choose the right events for your business.

If you hurry up and secure a ticket, Bucharest Bachelors offers you a 25 EUR discount voucher. Use the code FOMOBB at checkout.
