Everything you need to know before you join us at Tour & Taxis, 12–16 October 2026.
Brussels Climate Week is open to a broad community, including policymakers, businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, cities, civil-society organisations and citizens.
Brussels Climate Week is intended to be inclusive, representative and diverse.
Can we put a price on trying to save the planet? Every official activity of Brussels Climate Week is free to attend: the Conference, the official side events and the Expo.
When you register you automatically receive an Expo pass, and you can also apply for a Conference pass to attend the Conference Theme Days, the Conference Keynote and official side events. Attendance at individual sessions is subject to availability.
Official partner events are run independently by their hosts. While we encourage hosts to make them free to attend, some may charge an entry fee.
The Conference and Expo run from Monday 12 to Thursday 15 October 2026 at Tour & Taxis, Brussels, with official partner events taking place throughout the week.
See the Week Overview and Venue Map for full details.
The Conference is the main content hub of Brussels Climate Week. It combines high-level discussions, keynotes and fireside chats across five Themes, bringing together European institutions, Member States, industry, cities, investors and innovators to discuss Europe's climate-industrial transition and turn ambition into action.
The Expo at Gare Maritime is a showcase of climate and sustainability solutions, open to the public from 12 to 15 October. It brings together startups, research organisations, corporates, cities, NGOs and other innovators, with a focus on visibility and collaboration.
Official side events are official Brussels Climate Week content that run alongside the Conference at Maison de la Poste. Some are open to apply to through the registration form; others are invitation-only. You'll find them all under Conference > Official Side Events.
Official partner events are run by third-party organisations whose events align with Brussels Climate Week's objectives. They take place at Maison de la Poste, across Brussels and online throughout the week, and each has its own registration. Browse them all on our Events page.

It's a climate event, so wear what makes you feel comfortable and like yourself. Just remember it's Brussels in October, so bring something warm, and comfortable shoes for moving between venues.
The Expo is open to everyone, and children are welcome when accompanied by an adult. Conference sessions are designed for professional audiences and are for over-18s.
Official photographers and film crews will be working throughout the Week, and images may be used to promote Brussels Climate Week. If you'd prefer not to appear, please let the photographer know or email hello@brusselsclimateweek.com.
Yes. Brussels Climate Week exists to speed up the climate transition by putting people in one room who don't usually share one: policymakers, industry, cities, researchers, investors, civil society and campaigners. That only works if everyone in the room can take part fully and safely.
It applies to everyone: delegates, speakers, partners, exhibitors, media, contractors and our own team alike, across both venues, the Expo, side and partner events, evening receptions and our online channels.
What we expect: challenge the argument, not the person. Listen before deciding what someone thinks. Disagreement is expected; contempt isn't acceptable. Respect people's time, space and right to take part, including those whose organisations you disagree with. Respect the venue, the people working in it, and the city hosting us.
What isn't acceptable:
Depending on what has happened we may ask someone to stop, ask them to leave a session, or withdraw their accreditation and remove them from the event without refund. Serious matters will be referred to the venue's security team or the police. This applies to the organisers too. If we get something wrong, tell us, and we'll deal with it the same way.
Tell any member of the Brussels Climate Week team (we're on site all week and identifiable by our badges) or speak to the security officer at the entrance to Maison de la Poste. You can also email hello@brusselsclimateweek.com at any time, during the event or after it.
We'll take you seriously, we won't ask you to confront anyone, and we'll keep what you tell us confidential as far as we're able.
Yes. All spaces at Tour & Taxis are accessible for people with reduced mobility, and both car parks have accessible parking spaces.
Please tell us about any accessibility or other requirements in the "Specific requirements" field when you register, or email hello@brusselsclimateweek.com before the event, and we'll do our best to help.
