We’ll gather at Hotel Lone, where we’ll kick off our anniversary celebration with salsa rhythms and plenty of surprises.
Dress code: Non-formal cocktail elegance. Wear your favourite going-out outfit – whether it’s trainers, a suit or a cocktail dress. The key is to feel fresh and ready to party!
Note: The party will take place both indoors and outdoors, and the evening can get a bit chilly (around 12°C) – so feel free to decide whether to bring a puffer jacket or just a light silk scarf.
Vibe: Feel good
A day dedicated to connection, energy and fun. We’ll start with addresses from the Company’s leadership and an inspiring keynote, followed by a range of engaging and tailored activities.
All activities will take place at TDR – a space where the spirit of the past meets modern energy.

For those who still have energy to spare, the celebration continues from 00:30 to 4:00 in the smaller Retro Hall, with a DJ and iconic hits from the 1990s – the decade when JGL was founded.
It’s a chance to revisit the beginnings and relive the original energy of a great story through music – just as it should be at an unforgettable after party.

The Sport & Gaming Zone is designed as a space for relaxation, connection and positive energy between programme segments.

Outdoors, enjoy a climbing wall, bocce court and basketball hoop for those who want some fresh air and active time. Whether you come for the games, the movement or the company, this zone offers moments of fun and connection that enrich the overall event experience.
The boss is the boss… But not necessarily the best player. Alongside all the activities in the Sports Zone, we’ve prepared a special challenge: “Beat the Boss!”
Step into friendly matchups and show off your skills in rowing ergometers, foosball, bocce, and other disciplines. Time to prove that a title doesn’t guarantee a win.

For this special occasion, Silvije Pleština and Quiz Regime are joining us! At 16:00, meet us in Hall 2 for a pub quiz featuring questions on JGL, general knowledge and fun trivia.
Each correct answer is worth €1 as a donation.
We are donating to two projects: the educational game “Flight over Učka” and the project “Science in Passing” in Rijeka.
The “Flight over Učka” project is developing an educational game through which students will learn about nature and the protection of the griffon vulture. To implement the project, it is necessary to produce game components, figures, and educational materials from sustainable resources so that the game can be used long-term in educational programs and in work with children.
The “Science in Passing” project is a unique public science outreach event in Rijeka that brings science out of laboratories and academic institutions directly to citizens, into public urban spaces. The event features exclusively women scientists who, through a personal approach and direct interaction with the public, present their research, talk about their professional paths, and share what motivates and fascinates them about science.
Once the celebrations of our major anniversary begin in Rovinj, all communication will move here. Download the app in advance to book workshops, follow the programme and receive real-time updates.
