What role is digital campaigning playing in Poland’s high-stakes presidential race—and how are new technologies fuelling political polarisation in a country marked by deep ideological divides and a tech-savvy electorate?

This event is primarily aimed at political professionals, but is also open to interested guests from the fields of science, civil society, and journalism.

Leading experts with close ties to Polish campaign teams will examine how digital strategies and political technology are shaping the race, from the mobilisation of younger voters to the role of social media in amplifying polarisation. With turnout high and a tight runoff expected between centrist and conservative candidates, we will explore how tech is influencing both the message and the mechanics of this critical election.
