Op uitnodiging van Karin de Graauw waren we op 30 juni aanwezig bij de BBT ONLINE M&I Fair in Brussel. Een mooie gelegenheid om bij te praten met bekenden, nieuwe contacten te leggen en de laatste ontwikkelingen in de MICE- en eventbranche te bespreken.

Another great live event in the books!

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the 29th edition of BBT online at the unique and vibrant Ratz food market in Brussels with my dear colleague Matthias Dujardijn.

Representing not one, not two, but three exceptional brands under one roof—O'Douce events, Kasteel Viteux and V-Formation —we had an incredibly productive day with a fully booked schedule of 17 high-quality meetings. Every conversation was valuable, and it was a pleasure to connect with so many passionate professionals from the MICE industry.

A huge thank you to Karin de Graauw and the entire BBT Online team for the flawless organisation. The original venue, the atmosphere, and the quality of the attendees made this edition another fantastic success.

We’re excited to build on all the great conversations from the event and hope to welcome many of our new contacts and future clients to our beautiful venues, just a stone’s throw from Ghent.

Looking forward to the Winter Edition already!
