Applying AI Events in Brussels

"AI research" and "AI in production" are two pretty different worlds at this point. This page collects events from the production side: how teams integrate LLMs into real products, build agents that are worth trusting, wire up RAG pipelines that don't quietly hallucinate, and ship Copilot-style features without breaking the rest of the app. Agentic coding is a particularly active thread right now, with dedicated meetups and studios popping up across the continent.

This page narrows the Brussels calendar to Applying AI events. It's a subset of Belgium's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

Brussels is unusually weighted toward tech-policy and open-source events because of the EU institutions concentrated in the city. FOSDEM each February is one of the largest open-source conferences in the world and draws tens of thousands. Around it, the calendar is full of AI-governance, data-protection, cybersecurity-policy, and platform-regulation events that reflect Brussels' role as the policy capital of European tech.

Exploring the future of finance through the lens of AI and women leadership, with Degroof Petercam.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the financial sector at lightning speed, but how can we in business harness its power to lead, innovate, and create impact?

Degroof Petercam is already actively addressing this question and will explore how AI is reshaping finance, and how this generation is uniquely positioned to drive change within their companies. From practical applications to ethical considerations, the discussion will highlight both opportunities and challenges. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and discover how to apply these insights within your own field.
