Beyond the halls at Balkan Summit 2026: the Welcome Dinner and the Gala
Two evenings in Prishtina, where sponsors, speakers and officials from the three markets met away from the stage.
Some of the most useful conversations at Balkan Summit 2026 happened away from the stage.
The edition opened on Sunday 18 October with a Welcome Dinner at Tiffany, Prishtina. It was by invitation, for sponsors, panelists and government officials, and it was arranged so that each table mixed countries and sectors. For many guests it was the first chance to meet the people they would share a stage or a meeting table with the next day.
On Monday 19 October, after the first full day of plenaries, panels and matchmaking, the Gala Business Dinner brought participants together at the Emerald Hotel. The evening included acknowledgements of the summit's sponsors and a cultural programme.
Our thanks go to the sponsors who made both evenings, and the summit, possible: Fundway and GCF Generale Costruzioni Ferroviarie; TITAN SHARRCEM, SOLE 24, PriBank and PriSig, BKT, Prishtina Hospital and Integral Group; and Kosmonte Foods and Eurofood. Thanks also to our partner, the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development.
Balkan Summit 2026 took place in Prishtina from 18 to 21 October 2026, at the Emerald Hotel.
