BEREC SF audience

14th BEREC Stakeholder Forum

Event Date: 31 March 2026
Event Location: Brussels, Belgium

BEREC is pleased to announce that the 14th Stakeholder Forum will take place on 31 March 2026 in Brussels, Belgium. This annual event offers a unique opportunity for stakeholders from the telecommunications sector, policymakers, civil society and other interested parties to come together, exchange views and explore the latest developments shaping the telecom landscape in Europe.

At BEREC, we remain committed to promoting consistent and harmonised regulatory practices across Europe. Strengthening dialogue and cooperation with our stakeholders is essential to achieving this goal - and the Stakeholder Forum plays a key role in that process.

The day will begin with the traditional Meet & Greet sessions in the morning (exclusively for in-person attendees), followed by the main conference in the afternoon, and will conclude with a networking reception - a great opportunity to connect with industry peers and regulators.

The conference part of the Forum will be live-streamed on the BEREC website, as well as on our LinkedIn and YouTube channels. Online participants will also have the chance to engage in real time and submit questions to our speakers via an interactive tool.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 14th BEREC Stakeholder Forum!

Advance registration is required to attend the event, whether in person or online. Registration will open soon - subscribe to be notified as soon as it opens.

Meet & Greet sessions

BEREC is excited to continue its tradition of hosting informal in-person Meet & Greet sessions - a unique opportunity for registered participants to connect directly with the Co-Chairs of all the BEREC Working Groups. These sessions are designed to spark meaningful exchanges on topics of mutual interest and provide insight into the Groups’ work and priorities. BEREC currently has 12 active Working Groups, each established by the Board of Regulators to carry out tasks outlined in the BEREC Work Programme. These expert Groups are responsible for drafting key BEREC documents, which are later discussed and adopted by the Board. The Working Groups are led by Co-Chairs - senior experts from the national regulatory authorities (NRAs) of EU Member States. Their main role is to guide and coordinate the work of their respective Groups.

Explore their work in detail.

Whether you’re curious about BEREC’s work, have questions for the experts, or want to share your views, the Meet & Greet sessions are your chance to engage directly with those shaping Europe’s regulatory landscape. Registration will be launched soon. When it opens, you may register for one or more sessions, depending on your interests. Please note that seats are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A waiting list will be available for sessions that reach full capacity.

Conference

The BEREC Stakeholder Forum offers a unique platform to engage in discussions on the key issues shaping Europe’s digital future. With the agenda still being finalised, participants can look forward to dynamic debates and collaborative dialogue involving regulators, industry experts and stakeholders from across the EU. This conference is a rare opportunity to be part of the conversation influencing the direction of digital policy and regulation. Starting at 14:00 CET, the conference will be live-streamed on the BEREC website (as well as on LinkedIn and YouTube), ensuring broad access and participation across Europe and beyond. It will conclude with a networking reception, offering a valuable opportunity to connect with peers, policymakers and thought leaders in an informal setting.
