Runmate, the conference brand within Group Event Masters, acted as the official event partner of PROJECT2800 and PRIM for their first joint business conference at Technopolis. With over 300 attendees—entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, and professionals from the real estate and innovation sectors—the conference proved to be a well-attended and informative gathering.


Strategic and logistical support from A to Z


As a specialized Professional Congress Organizer (PCO), Runmate handled the organization, logistical coordination, and communication support for the conference. From registration and visitor guidance to technical support, stage design, and direction, Runmate helped ensure a flawless execution that maximized the impact of the content.


The conference kicked off with a strong preliminary program, featuring a preview of the future plans for the Rupel region. During a lively debate, Mayor Bart Somers, Stijn Coenen (Thomas More), and Luc Delrue (ENT.A) discussed the ambitious reconversion projects and the opportunities these developments create for entrepreneurs in the wider Mechelen region.


The main program then brought together inspiring voices on entrepreneurship in economically and geopolitically challenging times, with contributions from EU columnist Caroline de Gruyter, labor economist Stijn Baert, US correspondent Michiel Vos, and tech entrepreneur and investor Bart Becks.


Runmate's integrated approach ensured that the combination of the pre-programme, panel discussions, keynotes and networking opportunities was developed into a clear, dynamic and impactful conference experience, fully in line with the promise of "Running Conferences with Impact".


A conference that connects, inspires and activates


Runmate distinguishes itself as a specialized PCO through creative formats, complete service, sustainable choices, and strong operational excellence. This approach allows clients to focus entirely on content and objectives, while Runmate ensures the experience, flow, and quality of the event.


Jan Van den Broeck, Head of Runmate: “A conference is more than just a series of speakers and a stage. It's a moment for organizations to sharpen their narrative, strengthen relationships, and drive change. Thanks to our integrated 360° approach, we can help realize these ambitions. We are extremely proud that PROJECT2800 and PRIM have entrusted us with this crucial launch.”
