Networking in the sky with Brussels changemakers 🎡
For this edition, we are taking networking to a whole new level, literally.
On May 28, we’re bringing our community together for a unique experience on the iconic Ferris wheel at Place Poelaert.
In small groups of around five participants, you’ll step into a cabin with one inspiring guest speaker. All of our guest speakers are entrepreneurs and key figures who share a strong connection to Brussels.
During these sessions (18:30–19:00), you’ll have the chance to talk directly with them about their journey, their experiences and their view on Brussels today. Expect informal, honest conversations in a small setting, with a panoramic view over the Brussels skyline. Think of it as a “professional speed date,” but with more depth and better views.
After the Ferris wheel sessions, we’ll continue the evening with drinks and dinner, where you can reconnect with people you met earlier or get to know others from the group.
Confirmed guest speakers:
- Stijn Chistiaens, Co-Founder and chief Data Citizen of Collibra (Belgium’s and Brussels’ first unicorn)
- Katrien Vermeulen, Co-Owner of Mer du Nord
- Elke Van den Brandt, Brussels Minister for Mobility, Public Works, Road Safety and Animal Welfare
More speakers will be announced soon!
