The Bridge is not a conference—it's a non-profit movement fueled by passion and the belief in Bulgarian potential. Since 2021, it has been the one place to connect with the top-performing Bulgarian innovators from around the world.
​​Each summer, we gather selected innovators from BG, US, UK, DACH, MENA & Asia at the Varna seaside for our annual Lighthouse event. There, we focus on building meaningful connections, supporting one another, and creating future success stories with Bulgarian DNA—one bridge at a time.
​In 2025, the event will take place June 6-8. Before that, we're organising events around the world to find outstanding Bulgarians who would share our values.
What we believe in:
1. The Right Few: we keep the circle limited to ensure quality time.
2. Give Back & Pay Forward Culture: Social causes are at the heart of our events, and everyone who joins is a net giver, not a taker.
3. Authentic Human Connections: We prioritize relationships over transactions, personality over titles, and authenticity over pretences.
The Lighthouse event is nomination-only and limited to 250 people. Participation at a pop up event does not guarantee a spot. You can’t buy a ticket—you can only be nominated based on reputation and achievements.
​​We’ll be in New York on October 30th! If this sounds like you, join us for a casual networking meetup and hear all about what’s next.
