Another Edition of the MISO Civic Cocktail Successfully Concluded

On 11 June 2026, the latest edition of the MISO Civic Cocktail took place at the Warsaw Presidential Hotel. This recurring networking event, organized by the International Institute of Civil Society (MISO), aims to strengthen cross-sector dialogue and foster relationships among representatives of public institutions, civil society, business, and academia.

The event brought together more than 120 guests, including leaders of non-governmental organizations, representatives of public administration and local government, business executives, diplomats, experts, academics, members of the cultural community, security professionals, and journalists. It provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, establish new professional connections, and discuss the challenges facing civil society today.

Opening the event, Mateusz Komorowski, Founder and President of MISO, emphasized that strong civil society is built on relationships, trust, and a willingness to cooperate across institutional and ideological divides. He noted that creating spaces for meaningful dialogue and bringing together representatives of diverse communities remains one of MISO's core missions.

The special guest of the evening was Professor Marcin Wiącek, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Republic of Poland, who shared his reflections on the importance of dialogue, civic responsibility, and cooperation between different sectors of public life.

The evening was complemented by a performance from young saxophonist Oskar Kawka, whose music created a unique atmosphere that encouraged conversation and networking among the participants.

We believe that bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives is the foundation of a strong civil society and a catalyst for new initiatives, partnerships, and projects that serve the common good.
