Open Day by The POD #2
Dear Tech Entrepreneur,
What an incredible energy! Following the success of our very first edition—which brought together over thirty founders and leaders—we knew we couldn’t stop there. The meaningful connections and collective intelligence we witnessed confirmed one thing: we are back for a second edition!
Because being a tech entrepreneur is passionate but often solitary, we designed this day to break the isolation and foster exchanges with those who truly understand your challenges.
We are pleased to invite you to The POD Open Day #2, an exclusive full-day event hosted in our brand-new Tech Hub, bringing together a carefully curated group of the Belgian tech ecosystem.
What is The POD Open Day?
It's not a traditional “open house”. It's a full networking and working afternoon where you are free to arrive when it suits you and spend the afternoon with us.
Your seat will be reserved, and you will be surrounded by other selected tech entrepreneurs — some familiar faces, others new and worth meeting.
Midday pitching session (Start 12:00)
At noon, we will host a pitching session in our event hall. Each participant will have the opportunity to briefly present themselves and their venture. You like pitching — and seeing how others do it — so we promise a dynamic and valuable session.
Lunch by a local burger food truck (Start 13:00)
For lunch, Johane and her team will be back with their excellent local burger truck. They have already joined us twice, and we are delighted to welcome them again. The prices for the burgers will be announced in due time.
A space designed for real interaction (All day)
Throughout the day, The POD will be fully available to you:
Flexible seating
Meeting rooms
Phone booths
Everything you need to work, exchange and connect efficiently
Move around, change seats, start conversations — this day is built to encourage genuine interactions.
Afterwork Conference (Start 17:30) : AI search, brand presence & the new metrics
As AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT and Google reshape how information is discovered, brand visibility is entering a new era. Being well-ranked is no longer enough. Brands now need to understand if they are mentioned by AI, how they are described, and which sources are used to generate these answers.
During this session, led by Semactic, we will explore how AI search works, what this shift means for brand presence and reputation, and which new metrics matter to measure visibility in this evolving landscape. Through concrete examples and real use cases, the talk will show how companies can analyze their current position and build actionable strategies to improve their visibility across AI-driven search engines.
All we ask is your presence and your willingness to engage with the tech community ;) And if you think of another tech entrepreneur you would like to bring, just do it !!
Are you in ? Then book your ticket(s) !!
