Multiple themed stages host speakers from some of the world’s leading tech companies, sharing insights and forecasts for the future.

Open Eyes Economy on Tour – an economy built on values
Location: Gdynia, Pomeranian Science and Technology Park or Gdynia Musical Theatre
When: Autumn
This is the Tricity edition of the international Open Eyes Economy Summit, which promotes the idea of a values-based economy and socially responsible business. In Gdynia – a city long associated with entrepreneurship and innovation – these ideas fall on especially fertile ground.
Topics include sustainable management models, circular economy, the future of the job market, and the role of businesses as integral parts of society. OEES on Tour provides a unique space for meaningful dialogue between business leaders, public administration, NGOs and academics who believe that profit isn’t the sole purpose of economic activity.
Baltic Ophthalmology Meeting – high-level knowledge for specialists
Location: Gdańsk or Sopot
When: September
The Tricity is also an important medical centre, and the Baltic Ophthalmology Meeting is one of the region’s top scientific events in this field. Every year, it gathers top ophthalmologists, surgeons and specialists from Poland and the Baltic states.
The programme combines lectures led by authorities in glaucoma, cataract and retinal diseases with practical workshops showcasing the latest surgical techniques and diagnostic technologies. The event’s high academic level, guaranteed by collaboration with leading medical centres, makes BOM a key opportunity for professional development and the exchange of clinical expertise.
New Trends in Tourism – the future of hospitality
Location: Gdańsk, European Solidarity Centre
When: March
As the Tricity leads the way in tourism, it’s only fitting that it hosts the debate on the sector’s future. The New Trends in Tourism conference is the most important regional event for hospitality professionals. The core theme is authenticity – the key to standing out in a world where travellers are looking for real, meaningful experiences.
Organised by the Gdańsk Tourism Organisation, the conference brings together hoteliers, restaurateurs, marketers and local government representatives to explore innovation in food tourism, destination marketing and inclusive travel offers.
