Berislav Čižmek, Founder and CEO of CBBS – Management Consulting & EU Lobbying Company from Zagreb, participated in the UFI European Conference 2026, held from 3 to 5 June in Izmir, Türkiye.
As a long-standing member of UFI (The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry) and a member of the UFI Industry Partners Working Group, Berislav Čižmek joined leading representatives of the global exhibition and events industry for three inspiring days of discussions, networking and knowledge exchange.
The conference brought together exhibition organisers, venue operators, associations, service providers, investors and other industry professionals to discuss the future development of the sector.

For CBBS, participation at the UFI European Conference represents much more than attending an international industry gathering. It provides an important opportunity to establish new contacts, strengthen existing relationships and explore strategic partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and international development opportunities across the global events industry.
CBBS contributes to this development by helping organisations identify suitable strategic partners, enter new markets, facilitate M&A and joint venture opportunities and create sustainable long-term business value.
The future of the global events industry will be built through cooperation, trust and strong partnerships. CBBS remains committed to connecting people, ideas and markets and to supporting its partners during the next chapter of their international growth.
