What we’re about

Note: we no longer use Meetup.com for event registrations. Check the website for actual info and sign-ups.

Breaking the Silos is all about breaking siloed thinking and approaches within Belgian organisations, and improving collaboration by:

enlightening companies to choose sustainable solutions for problems over short-term fixes
inspiring companies to embrace change in their market and in society as a whole
building a safe and inclusive work environment for all people involved
showcasing the advantages and success stories of breaking siloed thinking.

We build a community of like-minded organisations, leaders and people that want to make sustainable change happen. Our mini-conferences feature inspirational keynotes or panel discussions and are organised all around Belgium.

Join us to learn how to make change happen in your company or teams and to meet people sharing the same values.

Breaking the Silos is a joint effort by founders of Bjièn, I.T. Works and FLY.

We have a code of conduct that all community members, attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers must follow. You can find the code of conduct here.

## A collaborative open space event

Please note that this event will be in the dynamic open space format, not a traditional “mini-conference” with a fixed schedule. The content is created by you! Attendees are encouraged to propose topics such as inclusive hiring practices, building sensory-friendly workplaces, or the business case for neuroinclusion. The group will then collectively decide on the agenda and discussion groups. This format is designed for maximum collaboration and practical, shared learning.

We aim to organise an event that is as inclusive as possible. If you have any questions, suggestions or additional requirements, please contact Daphné or Dietrich. Also, note that we enforce our code of conduct throughout the event and on our social channels.

## Practicalities
- Doors effectively open at 18:30, while the open space is set to start at 19:00.
- Parking is available near the venue, including car charging stations.
We look forward to a stimulating and collaborative evening!

Special thanks to Gumption for hosting and Bjièn for sponsoring this meetup.
