15th BEREC Stakeholder Forum
15th BEREC Stakeholder Forum to spotlight the future of Europe’s digital connectivity
On 24 February 2027, BEREC will welcome stakeholders from across the electronic communications sector to its 15th Stakeholder Forum, a key annual event for dialogue on Europe’s evolving digital landscape.
Bringing together representatives from national regulatory authorities, EU institutions, industry, consumer organisations, academia and civil society, the Forum will offer a valuable opportunity to exchange views on the regulatory priorities, market trends and policy developments shaping the future of connectivity across Europe.
A platform for open dialogue
The BEREC Stakeholder Forum has become an established platform for constructive and inclusive discussion between BEREC and its stakeholders. Each year, it creates space for a broad range of voices to share perspectives on the opportunities and challenges facing the electronic communications sector. This year’s edition will continue that tradition, offering participants the chance to engage directly with BEREC on the issues most relevant to its regulatory work, while contributing insights from across the market, policy and consumer landscape.
Discussing the next phase of Europe’s connectivity journey
As Europe advances its digital ambitions, the 15th BEREC Stakeholder Forum will focus on the developments that matter most for the future of electronic communications. Discussions will explore current and emerging challenges linked to digital networks, connectivity targets and the implementation of EU digital policies. Participants will examine how regulation can continue to foster competitive markets, encourage investment and innovation, and support the delivery of secure, resilient and high-quality connectivity for citizens and businesses throughout Europe.
By bringing together a wide community of stakeholders, the Forum will help inform BEREC’s ongoing work and reinforce its commitment to transparent, inclusive and evidence-based regulation.
The agenda and further practical information will be published on the BEREC website in due course.
Conference speakers
Meet&Greet sessions with BEREC Working Group Co-Chairs
A popular feature of the Stakeholder Forum will once again be the Meet&Greet sessions with the Co-Chairs of BEREC’s Working Groups. These informal in-person exchanges allow participants to speak directly with the experts leading BEREC’s work across a wide range of regulatory areas.
The sessions offer a practical, accessible setting to discuss ongoing activities, raise emerging issues, and share insights from different parts of the sector. They also provide a closer look at BEREC’s priorities, working methods and current areas of focus, while strengthening direct dialogue between regulators and stakeholders.
