are pleased to invite you to the sixth annual EmbiNet Symposium
on Wednesday May 5, 2010
in Erpe-Mere, at the premises of the Blue Guide EMC Lab.

This year's Symposium is centered around the theme "Developed in Belgium". The EmbiNet group has always consisted of Belgium-based companies (both from Flanders and Wallonia), and its member companies are further expanding their Belgian anchoring. Our choice of the Blue Guide EMC Lab as the host for this year's event bears witness to this strategy.

And of course, our invited speaker is also a well-known Belgian captain of industry, Martin De Prycker. Martin has occupied top positions at Alcatel (CTO) and Barco (CEO), and is continuing his career on a very entrepreneurial course. He will give a presentation on Innovation Management, an important topic in the context of sustained economic growth, especially in a country like Belgium.

After the talk, the participants will have the opportunity to visit the Blue Guide EMC Lab and the adjacent More@mere production plant.

But it is not just hardware and software that are "developed in Belgium". When it comes to food and drink, Belgium has gained a very strong reputation as well. So, after the formal part of the event, we invite you to an exquisite Belgian buffet, combined with homegrown entertainment, and plenty of opportunity to network in a pleasant atmosphere.

are pleased to invite you to the third annual EmbiNet Symposium
on Tuesday April 24, 2007,
in the Faculty Club, Groot Begijnhof 14 – 3000 Leuven.

We have invited Mr. Harry Van Hest, inspiring keynote speaker of the Speakers Society, for a lecture concerning the Klanten Wegjaagclub. Harry Van Hest explains the do’s and don’ts in the interaction with clients in a subtle and especially humorous way. The Klanten Wegjaagclub confronts everyone with his behaviour towards his clients: irrespective of the sector we are operating in, we always deal with internal or external clients. Do we always treat them in a correct way?
Listen to the story of the Klanten Wegjaagclub, and you will know all about it!

After the lecture we offer the participants a guided culinary walk through Leuven, an interesting and tasteful combination of guided restaurant visits and short walks through the historical town centre. This formula offers an excellent opportunity to network in an original and pleasant way.
