European Circular Economy Stakeholder Conference on 15-16 April 2024

On 15 and 16 April 2024, the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Conference will take place in Brussels as a hybrid event. The seventh edition of the most awaited Circular Economy conference in Europe will join forces with the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF), and bring policymakers, industry leaders, academics and activists from all corners of the world to Brussels to turn circular visions into actions.

The 2024 edition of the conference will propose an programme looking at the progress achieved and the gaps that need to be closed for Europe’s transition to a Circular Economy, while showcasing the work of its frontrunners. Online and on-site attendees can expect keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities to kick-start engaging discussions and inspire change. There will be a mix of policy-oriented sessions and stakeholders' dialogues, to highlight the key role of a legislative framework for a Circular Economy that is designed for a swift and effective implementation, at the core of which are civil society organisations.

The conference offers a unique platform for fostering partnerships and forging collaborations among various sectors, reinforcing the Circular Economy as a driver of sustainable development.
