Like Amsterdam and Bruges, Ghent is crossed by dozens of small canals. The city excels in exquisite and affordable gastronomy with high quality ingredients and plates that are a feast for the eye … and don’t forget the Belgian beers.

The Europump annual meeting facilitates networking in exclusive and historical surroundings: informal networking in small groups during private boat tours or while strolling and dining in a 13th century monastery. The gala dinner will take place at the Opera Ghent, one of the best examples of neo-classical architecture in Belgium. With meetings and workshops taking place in a former convent, the scene is set for some serious intellectual work. Given the heavy legislative challenges ahead, Europump appeals to all industry experts to join forces to balance industry and stakeholder interests. Register now at www.europump2016.com
