Transformation Conference
Thursday, October 2, 2025
5:00 PM – 9:30 PM (doors open at 4:30 PM)
On October 2, we welcome bold thinkers and decision-makers for an evening of sharp insights and real inspiration. From leadership and strategy to AI-agents — we’ll explore what it takes to keep moving forward, even when the economic climate tempts you to stand still. Because transformation starts when you leave what’s safe behind. Only the brave leave basecamp.
This year, we are honored to be hosted by Freddy Loix at Aston Martin in Zaventem — a setting that perfectly reflects the spirit of courage and ambition.
This event is by invitation only. Places are limited so please hurry.
With Lode Peeters, President of Agoria and Christophe Sintubin & Ides Ticket, Managing Partners at Business Markers.
In uncertain economic times, many leaders stay at basecamp, focused on today’s challenges. But true growth happens when you keep looking ahead—especially when it feels risky.
We open the evening with a forward-looking perspective.
Lode Peeters will be invited on stage to share his reflections on leading with momentum and adapting when it matters most. Christophe Sintubin and Ides Ticket will highlight what it takes for leaders to step “into the wild” — and how the right external partner, a sherpa, can provide focus, uncover opportunities, and support building a stronger future.
Explore a series of powerful 10-minute sessions, hosted by our experts.
Each stand offers fresh insights and real stories.
“A lot of flowers make a bouquet” — but only if each gets enough sunlight and water. In today’s diverse, multi-generational workplaces, leadership isn’t about uniformity, it’s about harnessing differences to create something powerful together.
Lucia and Stefan share 7 essential leadership questions — visualised as the petals of a flower — to help teams thrive. Through interactive reflection, you’ll discover which “petals” need the most care in your organisation.
By Niels Chabot, Associate Partner at Business Markers
AI is reshaping the business landscape — but true impact doesn’t come from diving in blindly. In this session, Niels Chabot shows how organisations can take their first steps wisely, build momentum with early wins, and lay the foundation for bigger transformations.
With his guidance, your business can explore AI in a way that fits its ambitions, creating clarity, confidence, and real business value.
With Bram Vaerewyck, Partner at Business Markers, Isabelle Van Iseghem, CEO at Securitas and Tamara Lievens, Head of IT at MPET.
Success doesn’t happen by accident. Using OGSM, you can clearly define your objective, set measurable goals, choose the right strategies, and track your progress — all while keeping your team aligned and focused.
In this session, Bram Vaerewyck, Isabelle Van Iseghem (CEO at Securitas Technology) and Tamara Lievens (Head of IT at MPET) will show you how to map your journey from basecamp to the next peak, turning bold ambition into a structured plan.
By Bob De Rydt & Pieter Willems (Associate) Partners at Business Markers
In a marketplace overflowing with possibilities, real success belongs to those with the courage to choose — and the discipline to walk away from what doesn’t serve them. Discover how to cut through the noise, embrace the battles that truly matter, and commit your energy where it can create extraordinary impact. In this energising session, we’ll share proven tools and inspiring stories that will give you the clarity, confidence, and conviction to say no to distractions — and build a winning strategy that lights the way to lasting success.
