About this event

ECHO 26 gives Belgium’s event professionals two programmes in one visit to Corda Arena in Hasselt on 9 December 2026. Event Confederation brings together organisers, suppliers and organisations working on commercial, public and non-profit events. The distinctive format pairs ECHO 26 with Tech That Touches. The programmes run simultaneously on one stage, with headphones allowing participants to choose which to follow. ECHO uses Dutch and French; Tech That Touches is in English. This lets attendees shape the day around industry discussion or technology-focused ideas rather than follow a single programme throughout. A curated marketplace is open during the day, covering practical areas such as participant experience, accessibility, event intelligence, operations and sustainability. For organisers, the benefit is to connect ideas from the sessions with suppliers and approaches worth investigating for their own events. Suppliers can meet professionals from different parts of the Belgian sector, with further conversation at the networking reception. The event runs from 09:00 to 19:00. Tickets: €330 excluding VAT for non-members, with a discount for eligible cluster members under the organiser’s conditions. The ticket includes both programmes and the marketplace. Registration is through the official event website.
