Evoca Conference 2026 succeed

Sometimes a single great idea is enough to see things from a different perspective. And when you hear from four international speakers in a single day, those ideas multiply exponentially.

On November 2, Evocabank created just such an opportunity. On the stage of the Gabriel Sundukyan National Academic Theatre, Steven Bartlett, Petra Velzeboer, Dennis Nørmark, and Stefanie Sword-Williams shared their experience and insights during Evoca Conference.

Before the conference commenced, attendees enjoyed live music, a welcoming atmosphere, refreshments, and pleasant networking. Then began the most anticipated part of the day, keynote addresses and panel discussions.

The international speakers addressed the most pressing questions of the modern world: How to maintain focus, stay productive amid an endless influx of information, rethink our perceptions of work, and speak confidently about personal accomplishments.

The conference was hosted by Hamlet Arakelyan, whose vibrant energy resonated across the audience, creating a warm and immediate atmosphere.

A key highlight of the day was the panel discussion featuring three speakers. It offered a platform to examine challenges from different perspectives, hear expert opinions, and discover new ideas.

Then arrived the moment everyone had been waiting for. The stage belonged to him! This time in a completely different role. The host of The Diary of a CEO, Steven Bartlett, who is customarily the one conducting candid and in-depth interviews, was now on the receiving end. The interview was conducted by Tatevik Khachatryan, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board at Evocabank.

Their conversation was much more than a simple standard Q&A format. Steven offered honest and substantive answers to Tatevik Khachatryan’s questions, sharing his experiences, decisions, triumphs, and the personal challenges he encountered along the way.

When the microphone was passed to the floor, it became clear just how many questions the audience had prepared. Their active engagement underscored the significance of the conference once again.

Yet Evoca Conference did not end there.

At the conclusion of the event, a book signing session with Steven Bartlett took place. Participants had the opportunity to purchase the Armenian translation of his book signed in person and take photos with him. Notably, The Diary of a CEO was translated and published in Armenian by Newmag, sponsored by Evocabank.

For us, Evoca Conference 2026 was not merely a successful event; it was a testament to the tangible value a business can create for society.

We believe that a thriving society begins with curious minds, accessible knowledge, and initiatives that unlock new opportunities. This conference was another step toward uniting people around forward-thinking ideas, making international expertise accessible, and fostering an environment where learning, questioning, and continuous growth become shared values.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all speakers, participants, and partners whose presence made this day truly exceptional.

See you on the next Evoca Conference...
