This past weekend, the iconic Pyramid of Tirana transformed into a vibrant hub of innovation and inspiration, as Albania DREAMin’ and LEAPin’ 2025 came together in a unique event that merged technology and youth leadership on a shared stage. For one day, the future took shape through ideas, visions, and the creative energy that filled every corner of this symbolic urban landmark of Albania’s past.
The joint conference, combining DREAMin’ – the only Balkan event dedicated to Salesforce technologies – with LEAPin – the largest youth leadership conference in the country – created a space where top local and global experts joined forces with the most inspiring voices of the new generation, united around a common goal: building the future and empowering youth through positive role models.
DREAMin’ 2025: Technology at the Core
As the only community-led Salesforce conference in the region, Albania DREAMin’ 2025 brought together 34 international speakers from 22 countries. The stage welcomed representatives from major global players such as Salesforce, Accenture, Deloitte Digital, Capgemini, and Cognizant, with topics ranging from the impact of artificial intelligence on decision-making, to data and marketing cloud innovations transforming the way businesses engage with customers.
With over 250 attendees, the event became a key meeting point for the Salesforce community in the Balkans, fostering knowledge-sharing and innovation. The agenda included 25 dynamic sessions and 5 hands-on workshops, all focused on Salesforce technologies, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation.
Beyond the highly technical content, the event served as a career fair, a demo jam, and an ideal setting for professional networking – a golden opportunity for professionals, students, and tech enthusiasts alike.
The collaboration with LEAPin added a new dimension to the event, with inspiring panels on youth leadership, sustainability, and global challenges.
LEAPin 2025: Leadership that Inspires Change
LEAPin – standing for Learn, Engage, Act, Progress – reaffirmed its role as the leading youth leadership forum in Albania. Held at the Pyramid of Tirana, the ninth edition featured a rich and visionary agenda tackling today’s most pressing issues with the energy and idealism of the younger generation.
Supported by the Swedish Institute and organized by LDA Europe, LEAPin 2025 became a lively platform for ideas and experiences, where young leaders, innovators, educators, and professionals discussed key topics shaping the future of society.
Leadership and entrepreneurship were central themes, with founders, CEOs, and Albanian entrepreneurs sharing inspirational stories of growth, challenges, and breaking barriers – often with limited resources but great vision.
Mental health and emotional intelligence were explored with sensitivity and depth, recognizing their essential role in ensuring both individual and collective resilience during uncertain global times. Discussions on civic education and human rights highlighted the role of youth as change-makers – not only in the public sphere but also in achieving the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
Meanwhile, climate and sustainability were addressed through concrete examples from the region, emphasizing local actions with immediate and measurable environmental impact. Each panel was accompanied by interactive discussions, creating a natural synergy between social innovation and active citizenship.
LEAPin 2025 was not just a conference – it was a call to action.
One Day, Two Dimensions of the Future
By merging the technological expertise of DREAMin’ with the social vision of LEAPin, this event became much more than just a conference. It was a transformative platform for Tirana, Albania, and beyond.
It invited young people to think globally and act locally – to become not only users of technology but its creators; not just critics of social systems, but builders of new alternatives.
By choosing the Pyramid – a symbol of the past – as the meeting point for innovation and leadership, Albania DREAMin’ & LEAPin’ 2025 delivered a powerful message: the future doesn’t just happen – it is built. And it is built every single day.
