View the detailsWhere we gather
Take time out in the heart of Belgium's Sonian Forest, where the tranquillity of a UNESCO World Heritage site inspires action to lead the change. A place that stimulates the creative mind and senses.
The Hotel
Dolce La Hulpe Brussels is a hotel located just outside Brussels, only 20 minutes away from Brussels International Airport.
Planning a visit to the Unleash Opportunity venue begins with understanding how the setting supports the ideas shared around trade with purpose. The location draws on the calm of the Sonian Forest, where natural surroundings encourage reflection, collaboration and fresh perspectives on sustainable business. This atmosphere helps participants move from discussion to action, connecting networks, supply chains and global opportunities with the shared goal of inspiring positive change for people and planet.
Accommodation options near the venue are designed to give delegates a comfortable base while keeping them close to the programme. Staying nearby simplifies travel between hotel spaces and session areas, leaving more time for informal conversations, shared meals and the exchange of experiences that can spark new partnerships. Thoughtful preparation also helps attendees balance the energy of a busy event schedule with the rest they need to engage fully and contribute to meaningful debate.
Travel arrangements should be considered early, especially for visitors arriving from different regions or time zones. Clear planning around flights, transfers and local movement supports a smooth arrival and allows participants to focus on the substance of the gathering rather than logistical details. For many delegates, the journey itself offers a chance to reflect on regulatory landscapes, transparency, sustainability and the critical work required to build resilient supply chains during a decisive decade for global trade.
Practical preparation for the event also involves reviewing the programme, identifying sessions that match your interests and noting questions you would like to explore. Attendees may wish to share experiences from their own work, hear perspectives from peers and consider how collaboration can turn shared challenges into practical opportunities. By arriving prepared and open to dialogue, participants can contribute to the spirit of the gathering and help ignite new ideas for responsible, impactful and sustainable business.
