Back to Business Mixer 2026 – evening of connections and new opportunities!_September 16

Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce had the pleasure of co-hosting this year’s Back to Business Mixer in the friendly and inspiring surroundings of SGH Warsaw School of Economics.

Numerous PCCC members once again joined this recurring networking event, co-organized together with our fellow International Group of Chambers of Commerce (IGCC) Poland chambers: ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Poland, Belgian Business Chamber (BBC), British Polish Chamber of Commerce (BPCC), Irish Polish Chamber of Commerce, Camera di Commercio e dell’Industria Italiana in Polonia, Poland-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, Polish-Romanian Bilateral Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Polish Spanish Chamber of Commerce / Cámara de Comercio Polaco Española, Swiss Chamber Poland and Polsko-Ukraińska Izba Gospodarcza.
The guests were officially welcomed by Bernhard Otterstein, President of the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and Professor Grażyna Aniszewska Banaś, Director of the Canadian Executive MBA (CEMBA) at SGH.

And then came what the Back to Business Mixer is all about — networking! Event brought together representatives of different industries, companies and chambers, with this year’s strong turnout of CEMBA alumni adding a special energy to the evening.
The conversations continued well into the late hours during the cocktail reception — proof that when the right people meet, the evening can easily go beyond the official programme. 😊

A heartfelt thank you to all participants, partners, speakers and co-organizing chambers for the fantastic attendance, great energy and inspiring conversations.

Thank you to the strategic partner of the event, SGH Warsaw School of Economics who provided a perfect setting for an evening dedicated to business connections.

We look forward to the next one!
