WELCOME TO LJUBLJANA, WELCOME TO SLOVENIA
to the 30th edition of The Web Conference 2021 (WWW2021)

Explore more around Ljubljana, our capital city and the region.
Lipica, the homeland of Lipizzaner horses inspired us to create this scientific conference
closer to our culture, nature and different beauties. Learn more about inspiring places
around Slovenia.
We designed The Web Conference visual communication based on the influence of our
history with the Venetian horse and with the excellence of the design of our famous
internationally recognised industrial designer, distinguished artist, member of the
academy, professor and researcher Oskar Kogoj.
His love for nature always gives him the creative power and curiosity to design works of
art that connect us to our roots. His products inspire interest and respect for nature. These
unforgettable forms have found their place not only in the history of local and global
design, but also in the souls of the people who meet his creations. With his sensitivity and
integration of the human soul with the laws of nature, he is able to connect transcendent
ideas with the material world.

THE VENETIC HORSE: unique symbol of power, nobility, wisdom and beauty.
The image of the Venetian horse is one of the most distinctive images of the early Iron Age
(Hallstatt period). It is impossible to include all the figures that appear on the situlas within a short
presentation. It would also be somewhat daring to describe some of them in terms of their
symbolic meaning. This does not apply, however, to the Venetian horse, which was regarded by
the Venetians as an almost divine being. About a century after it was first depicted on situlas,
Greek and Roman authors wrote that the Venetian people were the best horse breeders. The
Venetians depicted horses everywhere - not in a realistic manner, as was the case in Greek and
Roman art, but in a stylized form.
Stylized representations of horses show what nature cannot, namely, the spiritual nature of the
horse. One of the elements of this nature is "the horse as man's friend, his companion, his
comrade." Oskar Kogoj , the artist said, "I must admit that I was immediately attracted to the
stylized depictions of horses on situlas, even if they were in miniature size. So I used them as a
template to create an almost life-size figure of the Venetian horse. The result was a statue with a
mild expression, a statue of a horse that exudes a kind of divine peace."

The Web Conference (formerly called the WWW Conference) is an annual international
conference on the World Wide Web
The conference began in 1994 at CERN and is organized each year by a local team of
volunteers in different parts of the world who come together to organize the conference
in cooperation with the International World Wide Web Conferences Steering Committee
(IW3C2). The goal of the conference is to provide the world with a premier forum for
discussion and debate about the evolution of the Web, the standardization of related
technologies, and the impact of these technologies on society and culture. The
conference brings together researchers, policy makers, developers, users, and
commercial enterprises - in fact, everyone who is passionate about the Web and its
possibilities.
The 30th The Web Conference will be held in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, from April
19-23, 2021. With all the circumstances of current health constraints worldwide, the
conference will be organized in a hybrid way and fully supported as an extended
experience of a virtual one. We wish and hope to see you all very soon!
Welcome to Slovenia, welcome to the heart of Europe.
