The European Association Summit is a key event designed by association professionals for association professionals. Focusing on practical cases ranging from local issues, governance, member relations or communications and new technologies the conference has proved a large added value for attending association representatives and we aim to put our meeting at a new level.

This annual encounter between professionals from the associations sector will be held in Brussels on 30 and 31 May 2017 at SQUARE (Brussels Meeting Centre).

For the fifth year in a row, visit.brussels is organising the European Association Summit (EAS) in Brussels, on 30 and 31 May 2017. It has become a key event for information exchange, knowledge sharing and networking between international associations. This year, the programme is spread over two days in total and the content enhanced with the addition of new topics.

Created by the international associations, the event features a range of subjects and speakers who will share their experience with an audience on the lookout for new knowledge. As the number one destination of international associations, Brussels is the ideal place to host such a congress.

The summit will kick off with a speech by Jean-Paul Philippot, President of Radio-Télévision (UER-EBU) and CEO of the RTBF (French-Speaking Belgian TV and Radio Broadcaster), on media innovation and big data projects.

At this meeting, speakers will also tackle good practice trends in event organisation, the management of members and campaigns, communication, and representation and lobbying techniques. All this in the presence of internationally recognised associations.
