Brussels boasts an exceptional associative ecosystem, a hotbed of intellectual activity and a globally unparalleled knowledge incubator. At The Association Place, we provide a platform for meetings that foster lively debates and knowledge exchange.
Tap into the Brussels' association community
The degree of expertise and the diversity of the associations present in Brussels make it an ideal place to exchange and learn. Our yearly calendar is brimming with activities driven by the community, for the community. Networking is the hallmark of this unique initiative. From sector-specific roundtables and advocacy meetings to policy debates and networking sessions, we bring the association community together to exchange best practices, explore new opportunities, and enrich our collective knowledge. Meet and learn from the sector!
Association Connect cycle
visit.brussels is excited to introduce Association Connect, a monthly networking series tailored for association professionals.

With a focus on active participation and limited to 32 participants, the format includes power breakfasts and tea-time meetings for effective learning in a fun and engaging environment. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in carbon-compensated events.
