Dear all,
We are happy to announce we have rescheduled (for the last time) the long awaited Mega Reunion. Please, save the dates 16-18 September 2022. For those who have purchased a package and have not wished to keep it for late on – it will be valid for the event. In case you know you cannot make it in the fall; we can either refund you or you can donate the money to the AUBG Pledge*.
We make this announcement with great pleasure and are extremely happy to meet you all in the Fall
Stay healthy,
AUBG Mega Reunion team
P.S. We are keeping track of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We and the AUBG administration are optimistic as of now.
Join us for the 30-ish AUBG Anniversary in Blagoevgrad!
One Unique MEGA Event for the entire AUBG family!
First 30 years are gone, there are many more to come!
30 (+2) years ago, AUBG opened its doors and became the place that would be the one to meet friends, party wild, sometimes study, drink like crazy, have fun and build memories for 25 (+2) (and counting) classes to come until this year we can celebrate the BIG 30+2!
It is going to be huge…, no, scratch that, it is going to be MASSIVE (hopefully still will be)! All classes coming back to AUBG! There will be a rich and exclusive program for all AUBG Alumni: Alumni Challenge, Theatre Performance, Fancy Cocktail and wild Underground parties, Outdoor activities and more! All these packed into only three days: September 16th to 18th, 2022.
Proud beer provider
Burgasko is a light Bulgarian beer with 4,4% ABV originally made in the seaside city of Burgas (Bulgarian: Бургаско пиво). It was established back in 1971 and for many years it was a regional brand, sold only at the south Bulgarian coast-line. From 2015 the brand is available nationally. For many people the brand has become a symbol of the carefree summer moments at the sea.

A digital marketer with a solid background in technology (as I like to call myself), I have been the webmaster of the AAA website and the technical enabler of the Mega Reunion registration (with all it's little errors).
