A specialized educational symposium on modern lung cancer treatment algorithms and innovative approaches will take place on the first Saturday of September at Parkovy.
The event will gather oncologists, thoracic surgeons, and other specialists to present the latest advances in diagnosing and treating non–small cell lung cancer, featuring talks by leading experts.
Its uniqueness lies in its interactivity: virtual simulations of clinical cases, demonstrations of the “codes of the future” in the pathomorphology of lung tumors, discussions of the latest research results, plus live debates and experience-sharing with oncology professionals from across the country. The symposium is supported by MSD (within the LC Reloaded project) and aims to empower the oncology community with knowledge for implementing innovative treatments in Ukrainian medicine.
PRO TISTO Forum – September 9
Location: Third Floor,
Convention & Concert Hall
PRO TISTO 2025 — Ukraine’s first large-scale gastronomic forum dedicated to dough, bread, and baking — will debut on September 9 at Parkovy, bringing together bakers, pizzaioli, pastry chefs, restaurateurs, and culinary enthusiasts from across the country to build a professional community, set new quality standards, and elevate bread culture in Ukraine.
The forum was born from the realization that bread is more than food; it’s part of our history, culture, and tradition that needs revival amid the global popularity of foreign pastries.
Attendees can expect:
-
Business Stage — panel discussions and insights for entrepreneurs and bakers on management, strategy, and the economics of the bakery business.
-
Chef’s Stage — masterclasses and culinary demos spanning doughs from pasta to croissants.
Beyond education, the forum has a social mission: its charity partner is Good Bread from Good People, an inclusive bakery that employs people with intellectual disabilities.

On September 16, Parkovy will transform into a true gastronomic space for Young Chef: URBAN — an innovative culinary event devoted to city cuisine and street food culture.
This year’s theme, “Urban,” explores the city as a space that shapes taste. On the Chef’s Scene, a new generation of chefs will lead hands-on workshops.
In parallel, the main stage will host a Pastry Jam Session: four talented pastry chefs creating desserts inspired by different Ukrainian cities, showcasing regional flavors through contemporary creativity.
The program also includes Food Talks — presentations of key gastro projects and experiences chefs gained during military service, two panel discussions, and two labs: Chefs Lab (a lecture series by leading chefs) and Creative Lab (food creativity sessions).
The festival will culminate in an art-gastronomic performance on Urban Aesthetics, where guests will see how urban artistic motifs — graffiti, mosaics, monuments — are interpreted through haute cuisine.

On September 24, the ceremonial opening of the 16th Odesa International Film Festival (OIFF) will take place — for the second year in a row at Parkovy.
OIFF remains one of Ukraine’s most important cultural events, annually gathering tens of thousands of viewers and leading film industry figures, fostering the festival movement, and supporting national cinema.
Program focus — “art-mainstream”: films of high artistic quality accessible to a wide audience. In the out-of-competition sections, audiences will be the first to see international festival hits in “Festival of Festivals”, as well as art hits soon to be released in Ukraine in “Gala Premieres.”
The competition includes the National Ukrainian Competition and the International European Competition. The industry program features the Film Industry Office with pitching sessions and special out-of-competition screenings.
As part of the 16th OIFF, there will also be a special retrospective marking the 80th anniversary of Wim Wenders, one of the most influential European directors of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
The opening will bring together Ukrainian film and TV stars, international guests, young filmmakers, and cinephiles to launch a nine-day film marathon — proving once again that even in trying times, Ukrainian culture does not lose its voice and continues to create.

Completely renewed. For the first time in 9 years. September 30 at Parkovy — BRANDFATHER. NEW.
How do you build brands and businesses today? What is the role of leadership and marketing? What can brands learn from startups — and vice versa? A fresh perspective. Cases, ideas, frameworks. Essence, concentrated.
BRANDFATHER. NEW continues the legendary program that became a turning point for thousands of entrepreneurs — now with different angles, not only about brand, but about business as a whole.
Andriy Fedoriv — the country’s chief meaning‑maker and the event’s host. A person who doesn’t follow trends, but sets them — and makes you ask yourself uncomfortable questions. His talks aren’t lectures or pompous success stories; they’re a heart‑to‑heart dialogue: honest, sometimes tough.
About business and meaning. About what you forget when chasing trendy Reels. And about what truly remains when all the excess falls away.
BRANDFATHER. NEW is for those building new brands — honest, alive, meaningful. Brands that become culture. This is not a mass event; it’s an intimate gathering where every participant matters.
