This year, the award was bestowed upon Samo Zver, the Head of the Clinical Department of Hematology at the University Medical Centre Ljubljana, in honour of his outstanding contributions to medicine and dedication to advancing the field of hematology.
The event also celebrated the work of Delo’s journalists, who were recognised for their commitment to uncovering stories that inspire and inform. The award ceremony unfolded in the Grand Foyer of the venue, where the venue’s technical team ensured everything ran smoothly.
Matej Filipčič, the event producer, created a celebratory atmosphere with the scenery, selection of musicians and moderator. Together with the team of the Delo media house and Cankarjev dom’s team, they created an unforgettable event. The event once more showed why the venue is considered the leading venue for gala award ceremonies in Slovenia. By celebrating remarkable individuals, Delo’s Personality of the Year Award continues to honour those who embody innovation, dedication, and a profound impact on society.


“Rebeka’s story,” they wrote in the explanation, “shows that in today’s high-tech world, it is still possible to remain true to oneself, to have an open spirit, and to build a career path based on these principles.” Her motto: “If a spirit of exploration drives you, anything is possible.”
The award ceremony took place in the Linhart Hall of Cankarjev dom. Next month, the venue will also host the highly-anticipated Meetings Star Awards, a part of the Conventa trade show, where the leading regional hotels, destinations and individuals will be crowned.
