European Business Summit

The European Business Summit (EBS) is a conference of business leaders and policy makers convened annually by the Confederation of European Business and its Belgian member in Brussels. In 2013 and 2014, the EBS attracted more than 1,800 participants from over 60 countries, European Commissioners, Prime Ministers, high-ranking individuals and about 150 journalists. Focusing on the business agenda, the EBS starts with an Opening Plenary, followed by numerous sessions dedicated to specific topics, and ends by a Closing Plenary. Apart from the workshops and sessions, side events take place such as networking cocktails, private lunches and board meetings, press conferences and media events.
