Switzerland is heading to Expo 2027 in Belgrade- with a little help from our Swiss member, JEFF Zรผrich AG.

Following a competitive selection process by Presence Switzerland, Jeff has been chosen to design the Swiss Pavilion at EXPO 2027 Belgrade, taking responsibility for its scenography, visitor experience and visual identity.

And itโ€™s a significant stage ๐Ÿ‘€ It will be the first โ€œSpecialized Expoโ€ ever held in the Western Balkans, bringing more than 120 countries and an expected four million visitors to Belgrade under the theme โ€œPlay for Humanity.โ€ Jeffโ€™s winning concept takes that theme somewhere particularly relevant to Switzerland: dialogue.

Built around the idea that the most dangerous moment is when we stop talking, the pavilion will turn Switzerlandโ€™s long tradition of keeping dialogue open into a collaborative experience through play, creating a playground for dialogue that doesnโ€™t require a shared language.

As Jeffโ€™s Stefan Huggenberger puts it: โ€œMaking Switzerland tangible for four million people. Thereโ€™s no better briefing for us.โ€

A major win, and one weโ€™re very happy to celebrate across 27Names. Congratulations to the entire Jeff team. ๐Ÿ‘

Two sessions. Two perspectives on what makes live experiences matter, now and next.

Next week at the Unicorn Awards in Ljubljana, we will take the stage with a look at both the future of our industry and the experiences that get people talking.

1) ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐„๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž?
Our chairman, Ralf Specht, will share an exclusive first look at our 2026 European Experience Index (EEXยฎ) report, revealing fresh industry insights from across 27 European markets. From AI and sustainability to shifting audience expectations, investment priorities, measurement and Return on Relationships, whatโ€™s changing, what matters now, and where is the industry heading next?

2) ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ž๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ
Our member Patrick Roubroeks , Founder & Creative Director of XSAGA , brings a very different perspective to the stage: what makes an experience impossible not to share?

Known for his distinct approach to unexpected event design, Patrick will explore how to create experiences that surprise, engage and inspire people to share- in the moment and long after it ends.

Thereโ€™s a big difference between working across borders and working ๐ฐ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ across borders.

Our Irish member FUEL put it perfectly in their latest article: ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ž๐๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ž๐ฌ๐งโ€™๐ญ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐ฏ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž.

That idea sits at the heart of 27Names.

Across Europe, our members are independent agencies with deep roots in their own markets: their own teams, relationships, cultural understanding and local expertise. But theyโ€™re also part of something bigger: a network built on almost 20 years of working together, sharing knowledge and trusting each other to deliver.

For clients, that creates a different way to work across Europe: One trusted network. Local expertise across 27 markets. Independent agencies that know their markets AND know each other.

It means a strategy can travel without simply being copy pasted from one country to the next. The brand stays consistent. The ex*****on gets smarter locally.

And because our members arenโ€™t just names on a supplier list, collaboration doesnโ€™t start when a brief lands. We meet, learn, exchange ideas and build relationships many times throughout the year, so when an international project comes along, the connections are already there.

As Theresa Roseingrave, Business Director at FUEL, writes: โ€œThe real test of international work is holding a consistent identity while still feeling like it belongs wherever it shows up. Dilute the brand too much, and you lose what makes it recognisable. Ignore local culture, and you lose the room entirely...Keep the strategy consistent, let the ex*****on flex. Same foundation, shaped locally, so it feels native everywhere it lands.โ€

Thatโ€™s a pretty good description of what 27Names was built to make possible ๐Ÿ’ช

What can event professionals learn from a sustainable fashion community?

Earlier this year at Talent X in Riga, we stepped outside our industry for one of the programโ€™s most memorable sessions.

Hosted by BOURZMA , Latviaโ€™s leading hub for sustainable fashion, we discovered how a community built around creativity, culture and responsible consumption has grown into something much bigger.

In just four years, Bourzma has delivered more than 70 workshops, collaborated with 60+ designers and 100+ artists, and reached more than 1.2 million people on social media, all without spending a euro on advertising.

Rather than simply putting creativity on display, Bourzma puts it in participantsโ€™ hands. Instead of talking about sustainability, they invite people to create it.

Our Talent X participants took part in Bourzmaโ€™s upcycling workshop, transforming already owned clothing into one-of-a-kind pieces before stepping onto an impromptu runway to showcase their creations. Every design ended up unique, because every participant approached it differently, and for many, the runway was just enough outside their comfort zone to make the experience even more memorable.

As our industry explores new ways to personalize experiences and strengthen communities, Bourzma offers a simple reminder: people connect more deeply when theyโ€™re invited to participate, contribute and leave their own mark.

People may forget the agenda, but they remember the moments they helped create.

Thank you, Patriks Kirkils โ™ป๏ธ , for reminding us that the strongest communities are built through shared experiences, not just shared interests.

Congratulations to the 13 women recognized in this yearโ€™s UNICORN AWARDS Top 100 Event Agency Leaders list ๐Ÿ’ช

Three of them are part of the 27Names network, and weโ€™re incredibly proud to see Lana Bedekoviฤ‡ Rosandiฤ‡, Lena Ferstere, and Olga Yunak recognized alongside so many outstanding leaders.

Their recognition is well deserved. At the same time, one number caught our attention: 13.

๐Ÿ‘€ ๐‰๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ 13 ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐„๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐žโ€™๐ฌ ๐“๐จ๐ฉ 100 ๐„๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐€๐ ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ฒ ๐‹๐ž๐š๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง.

This isnโ€™t a criticism of the ranking. Itโ€™s an observation about our industry.

Research suggests women make up the majority of the global events workforce, yet remain significantly underrepresented in senior leadership positions.

๐Ÿ’ก Thatโ€™s why this statistic made us stop and think. Is it a reflection of who currently leads our industry? Who gets nominated? Or who gets recognized?

We donโ€™t pretend to have the answer. ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐๐จ ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ. ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐œ๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐›๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ๐๐š๐ฒ ๐›๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐโ€™๐ฌ ๐ ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.

A look back at the official Q-Space afterparty for the Gamma awards ceremony, brought to you by our member SponsorKing ๐Ÿ‘‘

From SK: โ€œThe eveningโ€™s musical atmosphere was set by electronic music nominees ELPO and DJ Dubra, creating an authentic and energetic continuation of the celebrations.

The spaces at Xiaomi Arena were completely transformed for the occasion. With dynamic lighting, screens, and specially designed lounge areas, the perfect environment was created for guests to linger, relax, and truly enjoy the night.

Meanwhile, the red carpet area was buzzing with activity, capturing the special moments of the evening for both the laureates and the guests.โ€

15/07/2026

From moments to movements.

Congratulations to our member on the launch of Commotion, a new strategic framework built on nearly 20 years of creating experiences, festivals, and communities that people donโ€™t just attend, but return to.

Their ambition? Work that stays with you. Work that moves you, long after the moment has passed.

As the team puts it, โ€œThe most powerful brands arenโ€™t remembered for what they said. Theyโ€™re remembered for how they made people feel.โ€

Weโ€™re proud to have FUEL as part of the 27Names network and look forward to seeing Commotion in action.
