A group of RIT Croatia students from Zagreb campus attended the conference along with Dr. Iva Bačić, who is also a lecturer at the RIT Croatia's IT program. "Attending a conference, it being a scientific, professional or community driven, is a truly rewarding experience. By listening to the presentations, lectures, and speeches, attendees gain new information about some hot topics and applications in their field of interest. It is important that members of the world of academia; both professors and students; attend conferences as consequently, the class lectures gain a new dimension, and we all get the proof that the lab, homework and project assignments are applicable to real-life, industry projects and problems" says Dr. Bačić.

RIT Croatia students were also happy to be a part of this conference. Patrik Đurasek, a sophomore year student at the IT program in Zagreb said "I have really enjoyed the Javantura conference and I learned a lot about the state of Java in current businesses.
