Gala Awards Dinner

Step into one of Vilnius’ true gems and discover the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania after hours — where centuries-old walls meet a nation boldly rebuilding and innovating for the future.

Guests will enjoy a refined dinner, celebrate the traditional annual EBAN Awards, and experience a carefully crafted surprise program — our little secret ingredient to make the night truly unforgettable.

Once a centre of power, diplomacy and culture in the 15th–17th centuries, and meticulously restored in 2013, the Palace blends Renaissance grandeur with modern elegance.

An inspiring setting where heritage meets ambition — perfect for Europe’s boldest investors and founders to connect.
