Thank You for Being Part of GBG 2026

Dear Participant,

Now that the XIV International Symposium on Grapevine Breeding and Genetics (GBG 2026) has concluded, we would like to sincerely thank you for being part of this remarkable event.

From June 28 to July 3, 2026, Zagreb welcomed more than 230 participants from over 25 countries, bringing together researchers, breeders and grapevine experts from across the world to exchange knowledge, present innovative research and foster new collaborations.

Your scientific contributions, active participation and enthusiasm made GBG 2026 an inspiring and memorable Symposium.We hope that, alongside the excellent scientific programme, you also enjoyed discovering Croatia, visiting our wine regions during the Technical Tours and creating new professional connections and friendships that will continue well beyond the Symposium.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all speakers, session chairs, authors, reviewers, sponsors, volunteers and everyone who contributed to making GBG 2026 a success.

Thank you once again for being part of the GBG community.

We wish you safe travels home, continued success in your research, and we look forward to meeting you again at the next Grapevine Breeding and Genetics Symposium.

With our warmest regards,
Prof. dr. sc. Darko Preiner  and the GBG 2026 Organizing Committee.
