Summer Jam 2026: Signal
Where the right people find each other.
Thursday, August 27th, 2026
Wesoła Immersive New Media Art Center, Krakow
Every entrepreneur is sending a signal—looking for a co-founder, a customer, an investor, a mentor, a breakthrough idea, or the next opportunity.
Summer Jam: Signal brings together the founders, technologists, creatives, investors, and community builders shaping the future of Krakow and beyond. Each person arrives with their own signal. Together, we create a collective signal that showcases the strength, ambition, and creativity of our ecosystem.
Because the best opportunities rarely arrive through a form, an email, or a cold message. They arrive through people.

Project is realized with the financial support of Małopolska Region and City of Krakow.

Summer Jam has always belonged outdoors, and this year is no exception. Grab a deck chair, find some shade under the umbrellas, enjoy live music, great food, and conversations that might just lead somewhere unexpected. As the sun sets, the space transforms with video mapping on the walls and our illuminated LED Dome, creating the perfect late-summer atmosphere.
