The Three Seas will meet again in Lublin! The 6th edition of the Three Seas Local Government Congress will take place May 27–28, 2026. It is a forum that connects the vision, experience, and potential of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

Next year’s edition of the Congress will bring together representatives of administration, business, and academia from the 13 Three Seas Initiative member states, as well as associated countries (Ukraine, Moldova, Montenegro, and Albania) and strategic partners from the European Commission, the United States of America, the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, Turkey, and Spain. In previous years, the Congress contributed to the establishment of the Network of the Three Seas Regions, the Three Seas Tourism Network, the Universities Network, and the Partnership of Regions for Via Carpatia.

What’s on the agenda for the sixth edition?

The 6th edition of the Congress promises to be a multidimensional event, continuing proven formats while introducing new initiatives. Participants will have the opportunity to attend discussion panels, regional and cultural debates, and the Economic Forum, as well as take advantage of numerous networking opportunities such as B2B meetings, discussions, exhibition spaces, Meet & Greet sessions, and study visits.

A major new feature of next year’s edition will be the Security Forum, focused on issues related to security policy, defence, cybersecurity, and societal resilience.

The Congress will also feature a Youth Forum, providing a platform for the young generation to express their opinions and share experiences related to current trends in the labour market.

We cordially invite you to take part in the event and help shape the future of cooperation in a rapidly changing Europe. More details are available at www.congress.lubelskie.pl and on the Congress’s official social media channels.

The 6 th edition of the Three Seas Local Government Congress will be held May 27-28, 2026, under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki. This distinction recognises the growing importance of the event, which has become a key platform for cooperation among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, both in the economic and infrastructural dimensions.

Over five editions of the Congress (2020–2025), more than 5,000 participants from 24 countries have taken part, 104 discussion panels have been held, and 64 foreign delegations have visited Lublin. The scale and international character of the event confirm its increasing role in shaping dialogue across the Three Seas region.

We, the countries representing Central and Eastern Europe (…) through the Three Seas Initiative, Via Baltica, and Via Carpatia, share not only our voice and vision of building a civic community, but also tangible results showing that the Baltic States and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are capable of implementing major infrastructure projects, emphasised President Karol Nawrocki during his visit to Vilnius last month.

These words perfectly capture the spirit of the Three Seas Congress, which brings together political, academic, and business communities around a shared goal, building a strong, integrated, and cooperative Central and Eastern Europe.

It is also worth noting that in April 2025, Poland hosted the 10th Three Seas Initiative Summit. During the event, participants emphasised the importance of infrastructure and economic cooperation in the region and the need to strengthen cohesion across Central and Eastern Europe. This year, the cooperation format has been expanded to include new members – Albania and Montenegro joined the Three Seas Initiative in the capacity of associated participating states, while Spain and Turkey became new strategic partners. It has already been announced that the 11th Summit will take place in Croatia in 2026.

We cordially invite you to take part in the Three Seas Local Government Congress! Registration will open in the end of January. More details will soon be available at www.congress.lubelskie.pl and on our social media channels.
