Program

Where decisions are made
An event full of experiences!
We offer a 2-day small & Premium event (« the Davos of Music&Tech »), 100% B2B and rich in experiences. The whole Summit will take place in the center of Liège, in 2 adjoining stages (at La Grand Poste, the new Wallifornia’s HQ).
A small event that offers 20+ panels and keynotes that support
- Skills development,
- CXO’s level discussions,
- Network diversification,
- Trends identification,
- Conclusive collaborations,
- Live & Music celebrations (inside Les Ardentes Festival).
And beyond the carefully selected content, we want you to have a unique experience: on Tuesday evening (just before the summit), if you are already in Liège, you will enjoy a welcome drink on the rooftop of La Grand Poste. On Wednesday evening, we will celebrate together during the launch party (at the Reflektor, a mythical concert room in the city center). On Thursday evening, the VIP guests will join Les Ardentes Festival for a lively evening.
