Conversation Festival LAMPA 2026

July 10, 2026 - July 11, 2026

Cēsu pils parksCesis, Latvia
The LAMPA Conversation Festival is a place where ideas, people, and bold conversations come together. It inspires continuous personal growth and encourages new perspectives in today’s ever-changing world. Over two days, the festival offers an engaging programme that invites participants to think more broadly, challenge their assumptions, and take part in meaningful discussions.

LAMPA is an open platform for everyone who has something to say, as well as for those who want to listen, learn, and engage in conversations about issues that matter to Latvia, Europe, and the wider world. Each year, the festival’s content is created by more than 300 organisations and active individuals, together fostering an environment where ideas can be exchanged freely and respectfully.

This year, BDO Latvia will take part in the festival at the Swedbank Sustainability Stage with a discussion:
“ESG between ambition and reality - what does it really cost for businesses?”
The discussion will take place on 11 July from 12:30 to 13:30.

The festival is organised by the Open Society Foundation DOTS in cooperation with Swedbank Latvia, the advertising agency “Armadillo”, the communications management agency “Deep White”, the Cēsis Municipality, the foundation “AUGT”, the British Council in Latvia, and the European Commission Representation in Latvia.

We invite everyone interested to attend the festival, gain inspiration, and broaden their horizons!
