New Year Networking Event 2026 by ISACA Belgium Chapter

NYE 2 1 2

Let’s start 2026 the right way — with great ideas, inspiring people, and conversations that matter. 

The ISACA Belgium Chapter warmly invites you to join us on Friday, January 30th, 2026, starting at 15:30, at Van der Valk Hotel Nivelles for our annual New Year Networking — an evening designed to inspire, connect, and set the tone for a successful year ahead. 

This gathering is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s our tradition of coming together to celebrate achievements, share fresh perspectives, and look ahead to the opportunities the new year will bring while enjoying good company and food. 

Why you’ll want to be there: 

  • Inspiring presentations – Hear from leading voices who will share valuable perspectives to help you navigate the year ahead. 
  • Genuine connections – Meet like-minded professionals, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration. 
  • A fresh start – Leave with new energy and a stronger network to support your 2026 goals.

What’s to expect: 

The afternoon will feature short, engaging presentations to spark curiosity and conversation. We’ll start with welcome drinks and light bites, followed by presentations. Afterward, we will host a networking dinner — the perfect opportunity to connect with peers, industry leaders, and fellow professionals in a relaxed atmosphere 

Who’s it for? 

Whether you’re an experienced leader, an emerging professional, or simply curious about the latest industry developments, you’ll find this event both welcoming and worthwhile.
