The central theme? GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), the topic at the heart of all discussions in Belgium. This topic, along with the AI summaries that emerged last year, is a situation that our French colleagues have yet to experience. A matter that deeply redefines SEO strategies in 2026, this event addresses this topic with the uniqueness of Belgium in mind.
