This year's conference is being held with the support of the gold sponsor Balans+, while the patron of the conference is Lukavac Cement, a company that actively promotes modern business standards and care for employees.
This year, the conference brings together over 300 participants from more than 75 companies, as well as 20 influencers, creating a unique platform for the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and inspiration on one of the most important topics in modern business: the balance between private and professional life.
The theme of this year's conference clearly conveys the message: "Stay motivated."
Burnout and balance as key topics in modern business
Burnout is no longer an exception but a reality for a large number of professionals. That is precisely why the Balance Conference brings top-tier lectures and discussions that offer concrete answers to the question of how to maintain energy, focus, and mental health.
The conference program covers topics that follow the flow of the day and the inner development of the individual, from mental patterns and daily habits, to attitudes toward the body and personal balance, all the way to building a winning mindset and sustainable motivation.
Among the speakers are renowned names such as Janice Kostelić, who will speak about the winning mindset, followed by Jasna Bajraktarević on motivational immunity, and Zeynep Aksoy on connecting the body and mind.
The program is further enriched by experts such as Bedirhan Ustun, Elif Altuğ, Naida Kundurović, and Jovana Pribić, who bring concrete tools for improving the quality of life through various perspectives.
Balance Excellence Award 2026: An award that changes business standards
A special segment of the conference is the ceremonial presentation of the Balance Excellence Award 2026, the first award of its kind in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region.
This award has a clear goal: to set a new business standard and send a strong message that caring for employees is not an expense but an investment.
The expert jury, composed of professionals from the fields of HR and wellbeing, evaluated companies based on the authenticity of their policies, their real impact on employees, and the long-term sustainability of their approach. Awards will be presented in multiple categories, including finance, sales and distribution, manufacturing, the construction industry, the IT sector, and the wellbeing and lifestyle industry, thereby recognizing companies that actively build healthier and more sustainable work environments.
An experience that carries forward
The Balance Conference is not just a conference—it is an experience that participants carry with them.
The inspiring atmosphere, top-tier speakers, and concrete tools for everyday life make this event a unique space for personal and professional growth.
This year, the organizers once again have a clear goal: for every participant to leave with more knowledge, more motivation, and a clearer sense of balance.
