Interact 2025 - Brussels, Belgium 

Our annual flagship conference Interact welcomed industry leaders from across Europe and beyond on the 20th-21st of May 2025 at nHow Brussels, Belgium.

Digital Skylight - Clarity and Purpose for 2025 and Beyond

As digital advertising undergoes rapid transformation, clarity and purpose have never been more critical. From economic uncertainty to regulatory shifts and technological advancements, the industry must come together to innovate, collaborate, and build a thriving digital economy.

Interact 2025 is where the industry unites. Taken place on 20th-21st May in Brussels, this year’s event brought together leaders from across the ecosystem—agencies, publishers, advertisers, tech providers, and platforms—to foster the connections and conversations that drive progress.

Under the theme ‘Digital Skylight – Clarity and Purpose for 2025 and Beyond’, we shone a light on the most pressing challenges and emerging opportunities, equipping businesses and industry leaders with the insights needed to navigate change with confidence. Through a curated programme of high-level keynotes, expert panels, and interactive discussions, we explored the economic, social, and industry forces shaping the future.

Interact is not just a conference; it’s a catalyst for change—empowering you with the knowledge, connections, and inspiration to drive meaningful impact within your company and across the industry.
