Two digital events in Brussels this April

The EIT Digital Conference & Partner Event 2016 and Net Futures 2016 will both be hosted by Belgian capital Brussels later this month.

Both events will be held at The Egg, a 5,000m² area of the city centre that includes lecture halls, meeting rooms and restaurants. On Tuesday 12 April the EIT Digital Conference will welcome EIT Digital stakeholders, showcasing their latest achievements.

The conference programme allows government and industry experts, as well as entrepreneurs, to introduce their experiences and innovative products. Seminars and discussions on the digital economy will be performed as will showcase exhibitions and over 50 disruptive digital innovations EIT Digital is marketing. With over 700 delegates expected to attend, networking with attendees and organisations in the digital sector (large corporates, SMEs, universities and research institutes) as well as with policy and decision makers from both the European Commission and public authorities is another benefit that the event hopes to bring.

The EIT Digital Partner Event 2016 will follow on the 13-14 April and will take ‘sustained Impact’ as its theme. Registration for the event can be completed here.

The Net Futures 2016 event takes ‘Driving Growth in the #DigitalSingleMarket’ for its theme and will take place at the same venue on 20-21 April. Keynote speakers include Commission Vice-President Andrus Ansip and Commissioner Günther Oettinger as well as EU Prize for Women Innovators finalist Professor Susana Sargento and the director general of European Telecommunications Network Operators’ Association (ETNO) Lise Fuhr.
