ELSA 2026 GALA DINNER – AN EVENING OF CONNECTION BEYOND BORDERS IN HUE
Following the in-depth scientific sessions of ELSA Annual Congress 2026, the Gala Dinner brought a completely different atmosphere – more relaxed, engaging, and filled with memorable moments shared among international delegates.
Against the evening backdrop of Hue, experts, surgeons, and guests from around the world stepped away from the conference rooms to meet, connect, and enjoy a memorable night together.
For this special evening, BGROUP was responsible for the organization, construction, and on-site operations of the ELSA 2026 Gala Dinner, helping create a space where experiences, cultures, and international connections came together.
ELSA 2026 Gala Dinner – Where Conversations Bring People Closer
ELSA Annual Congress 2026 took place in Hue from September 17–19, 2026, bringing together more than 1,000 delegates and experts from 37 countries, making Hue an important meeting point for the international endoscopic, laparoscopic, and minimally invasive surgery community.
While the scientific sessions provided a platform for sharing knowledge, expertise, and medical advancements, the Gala Dinner created another opportunity for those connections to continue in a more natural and informal setting.
Away from conference schedules and formal sessions, delegates raised their glasses, shared conversations, and enjoyed relaxed moments with colleagues from around the world.
This is also one of the key values of a Gala Dinner within an international congress: it is not simply about hosting a dinner, but about creating an environment where people can genuinely connect.
BGROUP Creates the ELSA 2026 Gala Dinner Experience
For an event welcoming a large number of international guests, the Gala Dinner needed to balance the professionalism of a scientific congress with the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of an evening gathering.
At the ELSA 2026 Gala Dinner, BGROUP was involved throughout the entire process, from event organization – production – construction – setup to on-site coordination and operations, ensuring that every component came together as one cohesive experience.
A Modern Space Designed for Connection
The Gala Dinner venue was arranged with banquet tables, networking areas, and a central stage, allowing guests to enjoy the program while interacting comfortably with one another.
The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces created an open and welcoming atmosphere that complemented the networking spirit of an international event.
Rather than focusing solely on the stage program, the event space was designed so that conversations, encounters, and interactions between delegates became an important part of the overall experience.
Stage, Sound and Lighting Set the Rhythm of the Evening
The main stage featured a large LED screen together with professional sound and lighting systems, all integrated with the visual identity of ELSA Annual Congress 2026.
The stage served as both the focal point for the evening’s activities and an important element in creating a more vibrant atmosphere as the Gala Dinner transitioned from dining to networking and entertainment.
From visual content and lighting to the overall stage layout, each element was coordinated to maintain the professional identity of ELSA while creating an environment where guests could relax after a full conference schedule.
An International Evening of Connection
Some of the most memorable images from the ELSA 2026 Gala Dinner were not simply of the stage or event setup, but of delegates from different countries gathering together, raising their glasses, sharing conversations, and capturing memorable photos.
These moments reflected the spirit of ELSA 2026 – connecting a professional community beyond geographical and cultural boundaries.
And with the event taking place in Hue, the experience was further enriched by the character of a distinctive heritage destination, creating lasting memories alongside the professional journey.
Behind the Scenes of an International Gala Dinner
A successful international Gala Dinner requires much more than an impressive venue.
Behind the guest experience is the seamless coordination of venue setup – stage production – technical systems – program content – F&B – event personnel – guest experience – operational timing.
The BGROUP team accompanied the event throughout its preparation and execution, from completing the final setup before guest arrival to coordinating on-site operations throughout the evening.
Every detail shared the same objective: allowing guests to enjoy the event naturally while the entire operation behind the scenes ran smoothly and consistently.
From an International Congress to Connections That Last
The ELSA 2026 Gala Dinner was more than simply another activity on the congress schedule.
It provided an opportunity for relationships formed inside conference rooms to become more personal, for experts from different countries to connect beyond professional discussions, and for their journey in Hue to include even more memorable moments.
For BGROUP, organizing a Gala Dinner is about more than building a stage or preparing a banquet space.
It is about designing and operating an experience where every element works toward what matters most:
People meeting – connecting – and taking meaningful memories with them long after the event ends.
