This autumn, Bulgaria Excel Days is coming back with a refreshed concept and an entirely new format.

Starting in 2026, the event will take place every year, alternating between two different formats. One year, participants will enjoy the well‑known large‑scale edition featuring an international conference and multiple masterclasses – the Big Edition (BE). The following year, the focus will shift entirely to in‑depth, hands‑on training through specialized advanced masterclasses – the Workshop Edition (WE).

This year, the event will debut its new, more compact format – Bulgaria Excel Days 2026 WE (Workshop Edition), while in 2027 it will return in its full large‑scale version (BE).

Bulgaria Excel Days 2026 WE is scheduled for October 20th, 21st and 22nd. The program currently features seven practical advanced masterclasses, led by internationally recognized experts and recipients of the prestigious Microsoft MVP award.

Confirmed speakers include Ken Puls (Canada), Mark Proctor (UK), Alan Murray (UK), Giles Male (UK), Gašper Kamenšek (Slovenia), Chandeep Chhabra (India), and Laura Cepeši (Austria), with additional names to be announced soon.

The masterclasses will cover a wide range of modern Microsoft technologies, including Excel, Power Query, DAX, Power BI, Financial Modeling, AI in Excel, and Data Visualization. The primary objective of the program is to help participants elevate their skills with valuable new knowledge and practical skills they can apply immediately in their daily work and business, ensuring maximum real‑world impact.

The venue of Bulgaria Excel Days 2026 – Workshop Edition will once again be Van Gogh 7 Event Space in Sofia

Working language during the Masterclasses training sessions will be English.
