Open official ticket information

Venue and working scale

A two-day international business fair and conference at Hotel Hills with exhibitors, presentations, company discovery and B2B networking.

Is it worth the journey?

Prepared companies can combine exhibition visibility, investment and sustainability content, peer discovery and B2B networking in one Sarajevo business trip. Register only through the current company or B2B path that fits your role; wait for the final visitor product and 2026 timetable before making access-dependent travel nonrefundable.

Best for

  • Regional business leaders and companies prepared to register and build a meeting agenda around trade, investment, sustainable growth and cross-sector partnerships.
  • Owners, executives, investors, growth companies, exporters, advisers, institutions and regional business leaders with a concrete meeting agenda.

Think twice if

  • Walk-in visitors requiring a published public ticket, teams relying on the 2025 program as a 2026 agenda or consumers looking for a general shopping fair.
  • Travelers whose employer, insurance, mobility or risk tolerance does not fit current official advice, including landmine risk away from known paved routes and higher urban petty-crime exposure.

What 100 EXPO 2026 is really like

Plan 100 EXPO 2026 with authoritative dates, current company-registration boundaries, Ilidža logistics, hotels, dining and authentic Sarajevo imagery.

Prepared companies can combine exhibition visibility, investment and sustainability content, peer discovery and B2B networking in one Sarajevo business trip.

Why it earns the journey

  • The organizer connects 300-plus exhibitors to a 54-year business-media institution and the 39-year '100 largest' company project, with current government and chamber calendar confirmation.
  • Prepared companies can combine exhibition visibility, investment and sustainability content, peer discovery and B2B networking in one Sarajevo business trip.
  • Ilidža is a separate lodging and transport zone from central Sarajevo; ticket timing, stale-program risk, B2B registration and airport proximity need explicit treatment.

The moments worth planning around

The concentrated event payoff

A business-media platform with 54 years of institutional history and the 39-year '100 largest' project concentrates major companies and regional decision-makers in Sarajevo.

The access decision

Register only through the current company or B2B path that fits your role; wait for the final visitor product and 2026 timetable before making access-dependent travel nonrefundable.

One deliberate city block

Choose one local meal, historic district, river or city experience only when the next fixed start and return remain protected.

The controlled return

End with a registered TA-plated taxi, hotel vehicle or known transit route already fixed; never improvise on unpaved or abandoned routes.

Planning your visit

Reserve

Register only through the current company or B2B path that fits your role; wait for the final visitor product and 2026 timetable before making access-dependent travel nonrefundable.

Official reservation guide

Arrive

Arrive the day before the first fixed commitment. Confirm the exact venue entrance and use an official airport taxi or hotel-arranged transfer; preserve margin for city traffic and border or road delay.

Official transport guide

Budget

Use only the verified TBA state; add refundable lodging, registered transfers, meals, connectivity, insurance and schedule-change exposure. A public ticket never implies professional, press, exhibitor or selection-based access.

Handle the crowds

Map the exact venue, entrance, session or meeting before arrival; carry minimal valuables, protect credentials and fix a regrouping and pickup point.

Bring the family

Public components may suit families, but professional, accredited, late or selection-based activities may not. Confirm the exact product, age policy, supervision, noise, seating and closing time.

Official family guidance

Accessibility

Ask the organizer for the exact step-free entrance, drop-off, surface, seating, toilets and assistance for the selected component. Do not infer venue-wide access from a general listing.

Where to stay

Choose lodging by the hardest fixed movement, then verify the exact room and refundable terms. Ratings below were checked on Booking.com and Tripadvisor on August 12, 2026; a small sample is disclosed rather than disguised.

Skenderija / Marijin Dvor

Best for: Central venues and business services

Tradeoff: Not walkable to every Old Town or Ilidža commitment

Baščaršija / Old Town

Best for: Festival atmosphere, heritage and dining

Tradeoff: Crowded, noisier and vehicle access can be slower

Ilidža

Best for: Hotel Hills and airport-side events

Tradeoff: Separate from central Sarajevo and requires transport planning

Skenderija

Courtyard by Marriott Sarajevo

upper mid range

A current internationally affiliated business hotel near Skenderija, with strong recent verified-guest ratings and a practical base for central venues.

Know before booking: Festival demand can raise rates, and Hotel Hills in Ilidža remains a separate transfer zone; verify the exact room, cancellation terms and every fixed pickup.

Visit hotel Ratings checked August 12, 2026

Grbavica / business corridor

Mövenpick Hotel Sarajevo

upper mid range

A current internationally affiliated business hotel with substantial recent review volume, tram access and a practical base between central and west-side commitments.

Know before booking: It is not in the Old Town or beside Hotel Hills; reviews note room-condition variation, and the hotel is halal certified, so verify the exact room, food-and-drink fit and every fixed transfer.

Visit hotel Ratings checked August 12, 2026

Hotel ratings move over time. We check at least two independent sources and include a drawback, but you should still read recent reviews before paying.

How to use Sarajevo beyond the event

Sarajevo is a linear valley city: Baščaršija, Skenderija, the university corridor, Ilidža and the airport are distinct movement zones. Trams help on the main axis, but fixed sessions need buffer, current line checks and registered TA-plated or hotel-arranged taxis.

One compact local block

Choose one current market, historic, river or city experience that does not require optimistic cross-city travel.

One deliberate Bosnian meal

Reserve for the actual group, state dietary needs, confirm prices and fix a safe return when the restaurant is not genuinely walkable.

A safety-aware reset

Protect sleep, connectivity, documents and transport margin; remain on known paved routes and recheck current traffic and border conditions.

Where to eat

These are independent editorial planning choices, not endorsements. Verify current identity, menu, allergens, prices, hours, reservation and return transport directly.

Sedrenik · Bosnian

Kibe Mahala

upper mid range

A current directly operated restaurant for a deliberate Bosnian meal and city view away from the event floor.

Know before booking: It requires a planned uphill transfer; reserve directly, state dietary needs and secure the return before leaving central Sarajevo.

Baščaršija · Traditional Bosnian

Bosnian House

mid range

A centrally located Bosnian restaurant with a current official menu surface that fits a compact Old Town block.

Know before booking: The official site can present a verification screen; confirm the branch, current hours, menu, dietary support, reservation and total price before arrival.

Restaurant details and hours can change. Reconfirm the operating day and reserve directly before relying on a recommendation.

Questions first-time visitors ask

When is 100 EXPO 2026?

October 20–21, 2026.

Is attendee access available now?

Company and B2B registration are live. General visitor tickets are explicitly forthcoming, and the visible program is from 2025, not the 2026 agenda.

Who should attend?

Owners, executives, investors, growth companies, exporters, advisers, institutions and regional business leaders with a concrete meeting agenda.

What is the main planning risk?

Visitor ticket details are explicitly forthcoming, and the visible program dates are 2025; do not represent those sessions or speakers as the 2026 agenda. Use the current company registration only for its named purpose and wait for the final attendee product before making nonrefundable travel dependent on access.

Are the photographs from the upcoming edition?

No. The upcoming edition has not occurred. Every image is authentic, rights-cleared Bosnia and Herzegovina destination, venue or prior-edition context and is labelled accordingly; none is synthetic or represented as proof of an unannounced program.

Sources and methodology

Dates, access, significance and audience claims use current organizer, venue, government and independent evidence checked August 12, 2026. Current Canadian, UK and Australian travel advice is foregrounded. Every guest-facing external URL was required to resolve semantically to the named event, property, restaurant, booking or evidence destination, not merely return HTTP 200. Hotels use two identified review surfaces; small samples and material limitations are explicit. Every image has exact creator, license, source and SHA-256 evidence; no synthetic or ripped media is used.

Affiliate relationships may affect which booking options are displayed, but not whether an event, hotel or restaurant meets our editorial criteria.
