The guest list included founders, senior executives, artists, designers, public figures and members of Lisbon’s international community. A significant part of the audience travelled from other European cities. The programme combined live music, partner presentations, hospitality and time for conversation across the venue. Yann Destal from Modjo led the musical programme, while design, watches and jewellery were presented by several of the event’s key partners. Season II followed the first GALA8 edition at Pestana Palace, which welcomed around 120 guests in 2025. The move to Pátio da Galé reflected the growing scale of the project and the wider international audience forming around it.
