Planet GV

What Planet GV does

Planet GV, d. o. o., is a privately held Slovenian professional education and event organization company headquartered in Ljubljana. It has organized business-education events for more than 30 years and serves over 1,600 client organizations through a portfolio of annual conferences (Kongres ADMA, Nabavna konferenca, Davčno-finančna konferenca, Konferenca o upravljanju tveganj), workshops, custom on-site training, and recurring multi-session academies (Coaching Akademija, Pogajalska akademija, Mladi vodja). Its vertical coverage spans HR, administrative management, finance, procurement, healthcare administration, legal, leadership, data analytics, and municipal government, supported by two professional magazines (HR&M and ADMA) and the Povezani prostori meeting venue.

The underlying technology platform, partly built under an EU co-financed 2022 digitalization project, includes an event registration and e-commerce system on planetgv.si, an e-learning module, electronic ticketing and certificates, a hybrid-conference execution layer, a customer-support chatbot, a personalized customer portal tracking individual attendance, and a 'Smart Digital Guardian of Personalized Knowledge' recommendation service. Distribution is primarily direct through the company website, email to the 1,600+ organization database, and venue-based delivery; partnerships with Silver Bullet Risk, the ADMA association, Slovenian Chambers of Commerce (GZS, OZS, ZDS), and academic partners extend reach.

Planet GV's revenue model blends transaction-fee event registration, professional-services custom training ('Delavnica po meri', 'Konferenca na ključ'), subscription-style magazine distribution (HR&M, ADMA with bundled free seminars), and venue rental at Povezani prostori. Pricing is published per event with early-bird, group, COMBO, and student discounts, and is non-cumulative. The company is led by sole director Peter Ribarič and operates without disclosed institutional investors, parent entities, or subsidiaries.
