Report post

Event Confederation is an umbrella organization that unites, represents, defends and informs the broad event sector in Belgium. Our members are federations that are recognized and praised for their commitment to the different types of event professionals within the broad event sector: suppliers, organizers, venues, agencies, catering, festivals, etc.


In order to promote the broad interests of everyone in the event sector and our members in particular, we want to be structurally visible and be the first point of contact for event professionals, policy makers, researchers, media and the general public. We do not drive for one specific group within one specific region, but we are the voice for everyone active in our sector. These are all professionals who spend more than 50% of their turnover organizing and/or supplying events (conferences, fairs, festivals, public events, company parties, etc.). That is why, as the Event Confederation, we are strongly committed to communicating with the various stakeholders who can contribute to a stronger and more united event sector in our country. To realize our ambitions, we focus on the development domains: knowledge and talent development, innovation and sustainability, safety and prevention.

For Event Confederation, a situation like the rave in Brustem is unacceptable
7 May 2023

For Event Confederation, a situation like the rave in Brustem is unacceptable. We also like to organize parties, but not in this way.


Organizers and suppliers are expected to respect a laundry list of regulations. Control noise standards, ensure indoor air quality, use reusable cups, guarantee food safety, provide mobility plans, have safety & emergency plans available, set up access controls, ...

The event sector needs your support!
11 April 2021

The next step towards its own joint committee for the event sector is the recognition of the Event Confederation as an official Belgian representative employers' organization. For this we need your weight in the number of companies represented and employees in the event sector.


Recently, without much publicity, many employees who fall under PC200 and who work in companies with ...

“Event sector on sale this Black Friday”
28 November 2021

'Solidarity with society', that has been the question from the government for 20 months now. We will comply with this - also this time - but this is the last 'lockdown' for our sector.


It is now urgently time to work out other solutions, but no more flashing light policy. Our sector - just like the public - can no ...

As far as I am concerned, NO CST (or CT after correction by Mr. Vanranst) and NO 2G, but the complete opening up of society. For quite some time, there have been sufficient scientific sources unequivocally demonstrating that this insane course causes more damage than a virtual virus. Virtual because it is never isolated, but AI-generated. Wake up & Speak up!

Event Confederation urges to allow all events from September 1.
19 August 2021

Trust the organizers & room owners

Owners, organizers, agencies and their customers need to take control of events and how to organize them. Our sector has been in 'lock down' for 18 months and has still not had the opportunity to restart economically profitable. 3000 companies and 80,000 people are asking to get started.


We call on the authorities not ...

Barometer brings perspective, but not enough for the broad sector
22 January 2022

There is a barometer thanks to the hard work of the cabinets. The final parameters are not yet completely clear, but part of our sector can certainly get back to work under the barometer in phase red. This is a good evolution and politicians deserve thanks for this.


The event sector opens to never close again, we have to get ...
