Lufthansa City Center International (LCCI) is introducing an innovative new event concept with the launch of the LCC Summit 2026, taking place from 7–9 June 2026 at the Radisson Blu Hotel Lietuva in Vilnius, Lithuania. The new format marks a shift from traditional conference structures toward a highly interactive, operationally focused gathering designed to drive tangible results for the global LCC travel agency network.
The newly formed event connects more than 100 LCC agencies from all over the globe with over 30 of the most innovative travel technology, AI and travel suppliers from the travel industry and beyond. Rather than relying on conventional presentations, the summit introduces an innovative structure combining barcamps, focused workshops, speed-networking and live solution testing. Through interactive formats, participants will gain valuable insights, strengthen collaboration, and leave with concrete, hands-on solutions they can immediately apply in their daily operations. AI, Technology, Next Gen and leadership are the core topics of 2 meeting days. A dedicated Start-Up stage is planned to connect global LCC travel agency entrepreneurs with innovative local solutions developed in Vilnius and the region.
Vilnius: a dynamic setting for innovation and international collaboration
The choice of Vilnius reflects the summit’s forward-looking mindset. The Lithuanian capital has rapidly emerged as one of Europe’s most dynamic ecosystems for innovation, startups and technology talent, offering an inspiring environment for forward-thinking industry discussions.
“We are delighted that Lufthansa City Centre has chosen Vilnius for the launch of the LCC Summit. With its strong community of innovators and entrepreneurs, the city offers an inspiring setting for forward-looking discussions about the future of travel. We look forward to welcoming the global LCC network to Vilnius”, says Vita Žilinskaitė, Head of the Convention Bureau at Go Vilnius.
Beyond the conference sessions, participants will also experience curated networking events, including two dinners and an exceptional destination tour celebrating the city’s culture
“This is not about listening — it’s about creating. The new format focuses on practical operational exchange, technology and AI solutions, and supplier innovations and thus is at the heart of today’s needs. Participants will work together to explore concrete use cases, challenge existing industry models and co-develop ideas that can be directly implemented in daily business operations”, states Heiko Brix, Managing Director of Lufthansa City Centre International. “Vilnius as a hub for innovation was chosen on purpose – a symbol for future-oriented young and innovative ideas and entrepreneurs who perfectly connect to our Lufthansa City Centre mindset “, continues Siiri Palisaar, Senior Director Sales Steering.
Driving the future of travel entrepreneurship
With this new format, Lufthansa City Centre aims to create a platform for practical solutions, entrepreneurial exchange and industry innovation, strengthening collaboration across its global network of travel agencies and partners.
By combining hands-on formats with strategic dialogue, the LCC Summit 2026 sets a new benchmark for how industry events can deliver measurable value for travel professionals in a rapidly evolving market.
