LUMINA III – When Connections Begin to Move

On 19 September 2026, LUMINA returns for its third edition. Continuing a journey shaped by inspiring encounters, LUMINA III introduces a new rhythm of movement, where the spirit of sport becomes a catalyst that brings people from different worlds closer together, before they step into an evening of experiences, conversations and connections yet to be revealed.

Some encounters begin with a simple hello, while some connections only truly take shape through a shared experience. It was from this very idea that NỮ DOANH NHÂN – BusinessWoman Magazine created LUMINA: a series of carefully curated gatherings where entrepreneurs, artists and individuals making a positive impact on the community can meet beyond the familiar conventions of a traditional event.

From LUMINA I – The Light of Presence and Connection, the first chapter invited guests to step away from the rhythms of everyday life and rediscover presence, energy and genuine human connection; to LUMINA II – A Journey of Inspiring Energy, where personal inspiration evolved through a spirit of sharing and positive values for the wider community. Two editions, two distinct expressions, yet both left behind the same question: After an encounter, what continues to move?

When LUMINA Moves into a New Rhythm

On 19 September 2026, that story continues with LUMINA III. If the first two editions laid the foundations for presence, inspiration and connection, the third brings those values into a more dynamic state: movement.

Sport becomes one of the languages of connection at LUMINA III. On the court, titles and everyday roles are temporarily set aside. In their place come instinct, coordination, teamwork, moments of spirited competition and laughter shared between people who, until then, may never have met.

Pickleball continues to be part of the LUMINA journey, but this time as more than simply a sporting activity. Each match becomes a point of connection, allowing distances to narrow naturally before conversations continue in an entirely different setting.

Because LUMINA III does not end when the final match is over.

From Daytime Movement to Encounters After Dark

As the pace of the day begins to ease, LUMINA III moves into its next chapter at LACHATEAU HOTEL.

From the energy of the court to a carefully curated evening setting, guests will have the opportunity to meet again in a different state of mind: at a slower pace, with a greater sense of closeness and more room for meaningful conversation.

Cuisine, music, setting and a series of thoughtfully curated experiences throughout the evening will shape the remainder of the LUMINA III journey.

But not everything needs to be revealed in advance.

Sometimes, the most memorable part of an encounter is not found on the agenda at all. It emerges in an entirely unscripted moment: meeting someone for the first time, an unexpected story being shared, an idea sparked by a conversation over dinner, or simply the feeling of having spent an extraordinary day among people who share a similar energy.

That is also what LUMINA seeks to preserve with each edition: not to create as many encounters as possible, but to create the conditions in which meaningful encounters can happen.

LUMINA III – 19.9.2026

The third edition marks another transition in the LUMINA journey: from the light of presence, to inspiration shared, and now to connections set in motion. A day dedicated to sport and team spirit. An evening devoted to experiences and conversations.

And between the two are people from different worlds, coming together at the same point of connection.

On 19 September 2026, LUMINA III returns.

A familiar playground. A new rhythm of movement.

As for everything else, LUMINA III is keeping it under wraps — for now.
