12:30 – The Biggest and Greenest: How BILLA Generates Its Own Energy
Supermarkets are among the types of operations that consume a large amount of energy daily. But how can they operate more efficiently and ecologically? In this discussion, we will look at what having a private power plant means in practice, how BILLA works with energy efficiency, and why retail can also be part of greener solutions.
Guest: Stanislav Stančík – Energy Manager at BILLA Slovakia

14:00 – Quality of Life Begins on the Plate
Anxiety, panic, insomnia, heart palpitations, headaches, or eczema. These symptoms can also be related to how we live, what we eat, and how we care for our bodies. In this discussion, a doctor and nutrition specialist will explain why food is not just a source of energy, but also a crucial part of our overall quality of life. We will look at how diet can affect mental health, sleep, immunity, and daily well-being.
Guest: Boris Bajer, MD, PhD – Doctor, Physiologist, and Nutrition Specialist

11:00 – Feminism or Emancipation? BILLA Breaks Stereotypes About Large Corporations
What does a modern corporation look like from the inside, and what does equal opportunity mean in practice? In this discussion, we will look at how the perception of women in leadership, logistics, HR, and the daily operations of a large company is changing. We will talk about the stereotypes that still persist, but also about how they can be naturally dismantled through a fair working environment.
Guests: Barbora Slivková – Head of People & Culture at BILLA Slovakia, Bibiana Matuščík Vuová – Maintenance Manager at BILLA Slovakia

12:30 – Coffee as a Cult: How a Daily Drink Became a Ritual
Coffee has long ceased to be just a morning wake-up drink. It has become a lifestyle choice, a social centerpiece, and a small daily ritual. We will talk with a Slovak and Czech coffee-brewing champion about how coffee culture is changing, what people notice about coffee today, and how to make a good cup of coffee at home.
Guest: Mário Adamčík – Slovak and Czech Coffee Brewing Champion

14:00 – Children's Eyes Require Special Attention
Children's vision develops gradually, and parents may not notice many problems right away. When is it time to visit an eye doctor? What signs should parents not underestimate? And what are the most common mistakes we make when caring for children's eyes? We will talk about prevention, screen time, children's glasses, and early diagnosis with a pediatric ophthalmology expert.
Guest: Beáta Bušányová, MD, PhD, MBA – Chief Physician of the Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology at the National Institute of Children's Diseases

11:00 – Blind for a Moment: Try Out What It's Like Not to See
How does a person navigate the world when they cannot rely on their sight? What do sighted people commonly take for granted, and what obstacles can a simple walk through town, a shopping trip, or a festival day bring? The discussion will offer both a practical and experiential look into the lives of visually impaired people and show why creating an accessible environment for everyone is so important.
Guest: Eliška Fričovská – Slovak Blind and Partially Sighted Union
*The program will also include an interactive zone where visitors can try Braille, simulation glasses replicating various vision diagnoses, games for the blind, sensory testing without sight, or walking with a white cane. Practical aids, books for the blind, and tactile images will also be presented on-site.

12:30 – What Should a Young Athlete Eat?
Children and teenagers who do sports need plenty of energy, nutrients, and a well-adjusted routine. What should a young athlete's diet look like? What should they eat before training, after performance, or during a tournament day? A nutrition specialist will explain how to support both performance and the healthy development of a child, and which mistakes parents should avoid.
Guest: Martin Čupka – Nutrition Specialist

14:00 – Quality and Hygiene: What Needs to Happen Before Food Reaches the Customers?
Behind every product on the shelf, there are numerous inspections, rules, and processes that the customer does not see at first glance. How is food quality monitored? What hygiene and safety standards must a store meet? And how are freshness and proper product storage handled? In this discussion, we will look behind the scenes of retail and show everything BILLA does so that customers can rely on both food quality and safety when shopping.
Guest: Marcela Bachratá, DVM – Head of the Quality Department at BILLA Slovakia
