In this interview, we meet Bente van de Put, Conference Coordinator at CKC Seminars, and delve into the world of high-quality B2B conferences and the successful synergy between the Dutch organizer and BluePoint Antwerp. Following a highly successful first collaboration in October 2025 for the “HRM in Healthcare and Welfare” conference, we discuss the vision, history, and future plans of this innovative player in the conference industry.

Until recently, dietary requirements at corporate events were often considered a secondary concern. Caterers would improvise at the last minute, and attendees were forced to adapt to whatever was available. That reality has changed fundamentally today. Attendees are increasingly communicating their dietary requirements in advance and with greater precision, and they expect these needs to be addressed correctly and consistently.

2026 is in full swing and calendars are filling up with conferences, kick-offs and strategic meetings. The bar is higher than ever. While media giants and tech companies are pulling out all the stops to capture the user's attention, one crucial question remains for you as an event manager or speaker: how do you keep your audience's attention? How do you convey emotions and stories that linger? The answer lies not only in your story, but in its medium: event technology. At BluePoint Antwerp, we see every day how the right technical support makes the difference between a presentation that is 'endured' and a keynote that sets a movement in motion.

Organising a corporate barbecue is not something you do on the fly. Although the concept may look relaxed, a successful execution requires thoughtful preparation. Date, capacity, logistics, weather contingency, catering, technology, all these decisions determine the success of the event and must be made early in the process.

You spend months working on a single innovation. The launch is the moment of truth: the first impression for the outside world and your stakeholders. This deserves a setting that brings your story to life. An environment that is not just a backdrop, but one in which your innovation, product or service really takes centre stage.

A new year has begun. Goals are set. But how do you ensure your team doesn’t just listen, but truly engage? The answer often lies in something surprisingly simple: a strong theme that brings meaning to your kick-off, paired with the right location.

What a fantastic way to end the year! At the end of November 2025, BluePoint Antwerp received the prestigious Certificate of Excellence from Eventplanner.be. This is recognition that comes straight from the hearts of our customers – and that makes it extra special for us. The certificate is a clear measure of quality, hospitality and genuine customer satisfaction.
