The Belgian E-commerce Conference (BEC) is a one-day seminar striving to boost the steadily growing e-commerce market in Belgium. You will get expert insight and discover key trends in the many aspects of digital commerce.

Just like a boot camp, BEC provides knowledge for starting, running and expanding your online business, whether you are a retailer just starting or expanding your online business, or a niche pure player. BEC focuses on these three main steps: Build, Grow and Expand.
