The EU Cross-Border e-Commerce Forum (EU CBEC) 2026 – Europe’s largest annual cargo and e-commerce event, will soon be taking place: 08-10SEP26, to be precise – at the Palais de Congrès in Liège. Organized by Liège Airport (LGG)/CARGOLAND, the forum brings together professionals from logistics, customs, retail, technology, supply chain and air cargo. 17 panels and sessions are lined up for the three days of the event, covering topics such as AI, digitalization, customs reform, regulatory compliance, consumer expectations and international trade. Discussions will also focus on how freight forwarders can balance efficiency and growth in an increasingly unstable market, and the opportunities CARGOLAND offers as a dedicated cargo and e-commerce gateway. Alongside the conference program, a dedicated exhibition area and networking spaces allow attendees to explore new technologies and build business partnerships.
“This year’s motto, ‘Freight meets Magic’, will set the tone from the cocktail welcome reception, which will launch the networking program, through to the Gala Dinner, where a number of surprises are planned. The LAB Area will also bring this theme to life, showcasing smart technologies and operational solutions for e-commerce and air cargo. Driven by innovation, EU CBEC stands as a hotbed of ideas, expertise and growing industry experience,” the press release emphasizes.
Frederic Brun, Head of Commercial Cargo & Logistics at Liège Airport, revealed: “This is already promising to be the biggest EU CBEC forum to date as we have now passed the 1,000-mark in registered attendees for the first time ever. Among them are over 300 companies including 60 different airlines, more than 100 freight forwarders, 15 media outlets and a great many shippers from various industries. Everyone who is anyone in the world of e-commerce and air cargo, will be there, and that includes an amazing line-up of speakers such as Stanislas Brun, Ryan Keyrouse, Peter Scholten, Justus Klever-Schlodtfeldt, Roos Bakker, Jannie Davel, Jonathan Clark, Alain Guerin, Jeffrey van Haeften, Amit Tendon, Asok Kumar, and Kristian Vanderwaeren, to name but a few. In total, we’re looking forward to welcoming 53 speakers who will be discussing e-commerce from every relevant angle.”
