Belgian Days 2026
Two days. Multiple perspectives. One place to connect.
18-19 November 2026, the Belgian Business Chamber brings the 28th edition of Belgian Days to Warsaw - with a new, two-day format designed around what matters most in business: knowledge, meaningful conversations and valuable connections.
Belgian Days 2026 are almost here!
The Belgian Days are the flagship business event of the Belgian Business Chamber, bringing together the Belgian and Polish business communities to exchange knowledge, share experiences and build meaningful professional connections.
The main goal is to create a space where business leaders and professionals from Belgium and Poland can meet and explore new opportunities for cooperation. Belgian Days also provide a platform to strengthen the presence and visibility of Belgian businesses in Poland.
The 2026 edition takes place over two days, 18-19 November, with a new format centred around the Belgian Business Fest. The programme features parallel sessions, allowing participants to choose the topics and discussions most relevant to their business and interests. From industry, logistics and real estate to technology, people & diversity and cross-border business, the programme brings together different sectors and perspectives in one place.
The programme also includes the Belgian Business Mixer – a more relaxed evening for members, partners, guests and friends of the Belgian-Polish business community, followed by the CEO Forum, prestigious and invitation-only gathering.
The Belgian Days are organised in cooperation with the Belgian Embassy and regional investment and trade promoting agencies of the federated entities of Belgium..
Let’s count down together to two days full of knowledge, new connections and opportunities.

MARKET. CUSTOMER. SALES Why isn't a good product enough? How to build a sales strategy that delivers real business results?
The residential real estate development market in Poland continues to evolve. Increasing competition, changing customer expectations, pricing pressure and more informed buyers mean that successful sales today require much more than a good development, an attractive location and an efficient sales team. A sales strategy must be a deliberate, well-informed business decision made by the developer. How do we want to sell our development? An effective strategy must reflect market realities, be based on a deep understanding of customers and be consistently implemented across the entire organisation. During this interactive session, we will explore five key areas of building an effective sales strategy.
Talent Has No Borders – But Do Opportunities? Belgium & Poland in Focus

Join us for an evening of networking, excitement and, most importantly, supporting a meaningful cause!
Coffee with Purpose
Start your morning with a coffee and a proper conversation. On Day 2 of the Fest, we meet for one hour to get to know each other and move past the small talk. Each participant gives a two-minute pitch: who you are, what you need and what you can bring. Having this basic information on the table makes all the difference. It formalises the informal and turns a friendly chat into a useful connection. Connection is what brings us together at the Belgian Days. The best business relationships tend to start with a simple exchange, and a good coffee helps, especially after yesterday’s Business Mixer. See you there.
