Music Tech Belgium

Yesterday, Lab of Tomorrow welcomed a vibrant community to explore the future of live music. In collaboration with @musictechbe and @musictechnl , the session reflected on how live experiences are evolving and how technology can enhance impact, accessibility, and sustainability. A key insight is that audiences increasingly value live experiences that are immersive, purposeful, and aligned with contemporary social issues. Sincere thanks to the speakers: Daniel Fletcher, @birgitk , @iamseanbradford , Stijn Smet and Femke Blok, as well as to everyone who contributed to the conversation. Additional thanks to @ckproductions.tv , @arealtechnologies , @superellipse.be , @thomas.de.weerdt , @sonartz.agency , @garconcatering and @teamwork.hospitality for their support during the event. Next up: 07/05/26, the community talk on circularity. Link in bio. Let’s keep shaping what’s next, together. With the support of Tickets for Good and the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands in Belgium.

Next week, we’re teaming up with @unwrap.festival for 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲 on Friday 7 Nov at The Penta (HOWEST Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen).

Soooo… that was a lot of fun! 🎉 We couldn’t be happier with our second @musictechbe meetup at the wonderful @clubwintercircus . No better place to host a tech meetup than at a tech driven concert venue. Louis Jonckheere (CEO @wintercircusghent ) and Wim Reygaert (@oisoi_studio ) kicked off the evening with inspiring keynotes on tech entrepreneurship, paying it forward and sharing stories in a close-knit tech community (oh, and not fucking up the planet even more). Later on, the stage was taken over by 6 promising startups, some bigger, some smaller, some very new and some a bit more experienced. Thanks a lot for sharing your journey with us; All Areas Access, Ambrio, ikii, Karomia, Temple Studios and Tickets for Good. Fun was had, drinks were shared and contact details were being exchanged. In short, it was the perfect evening. Hope to see you soon at @walliforniamusictech Summit!
