The Balkan Web3 and iGaming Awards will be in Budva again for the second year on September 30th


Following two previous successful awards in Belgrade and Tivat, the next BWiGA conference will be held again in Montenegro. 


This time, the event is planned for a luxurious location near the old town of Budva, in a hotel with its own beach and garden, where an evening networking party will follow the awards ceremony.

A network boat on the Adriatic Sea for VIP guests is also planned.


Dozens of nominations are once again planned, including new ones such as FinTech solution of the year, Best PR agency and Best AI agency.


This time, the premium event for founders and C-level managers is being held in collaboration with the longest-running IT conference, Infofest (since 1994). As per tradition, BWiGA will feature discussion panels, solo presentations by speakers, an awards ceremony, and an evening party in a garden by the sea. A pitch session for web3 startups with the support of INFI Multichain is also planned as part of the BWiGA accelerator.


The main topics of discussion will be AI trends, the integration of AI services into web3 and gaming projects, and innovative fintech solutions for 2026. In addition, there will be presentations by speakers on promoting web3 projects and marketing for gaming services.


Participants are expected from various countries, including the UK, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Slovenia, Cyprus, Turkey, Georgia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia, Ukraine, and several others. Previously, BWiGA has attracted guests from 30 countries in Tivat and Belgrade. Well-known participants such as Endorphina, Lenkep, Alfaleads, 1w, and ambitious companies such as 100HP, Headshot, Idolme, Chipsa, INFI Multichain, Gatex, and ConFluence, have already signed up for these third awards. Some investment funds are also interested in participating.

BWiGA is, as usual, hosted by Lead Volume, an agency that has been organizing IT conferences and parties around the world for 10 years.


"Our awards are becoming popular among participants from other regions," shares BWiGA founder and organizer Alexey Nasybullin. "As soon as our event in Serbia ended in March, new companies from Cyprus and Turkey started asking to hold the conference again in Montenegro. And I always listen to the audience's wishes. 


Several months before the new awards, we already have applications for nominations and participation from different countries. 


The concept of our awards is new to the Balkans and attracts attention. In its second year, BWiGA has become a landmark event for the region, and we plan to scale up our conference and raise its level each year."
