CARGOLAND: Countdown to the EU CBEC 2026
Europe’s largest annual cargo and e-commerce event, the EU Cross-Border e-commerce Forum (EU CBEC) 2026, is now just three months away. Liege Airport (LGG)/CARGOLAND is once again organizing the forum which will be held at the prestigious Palais de Congres Liege from 8-10 September 2026.
“This is already promising to be the biggest EU CBEC forum to date as we have now passed the 1,000-mark in registered attendees for the first time ever. Among them are over 300 companies including 60 different airlines, more than 100 freight forwarders, 15 media outlets and a great many shippers from various industries,” says Frederic Brun, Head of Commercial Cargo & Logistics at Liege Airport. “Everyone is anyone in the world of e-commerce and air cargo, will be there, and that includes an amazing line-up of speakers such as Stanislas Brun, Ryan Keyrouse, Peter Scholten, Justus Klever-Schlodtfeldt, Roos Bakker, Jannie Davel, Jonathan Clark, Alain Guerin, Jeffrey van Haeften, Amit Tendon, Asok Kumar, and Kristian Vanderwaeren, to name but a few. In total, we’re looking forward to welcoming 53 speakers who will be discussing e-commerce from every relevant angle.”
For cargo, logistics, e-commerce, customs, technology, retail and supply chain professionals ready to shape what comes next in e-commerce and air cargo, EU CBEC 2026 is more than an industry event, it is a source of inspiration, innovation and opportunity. Across the three days, 17 expert panels and speeches will explore the forces transforming cross-border e-commerce, from customs and consumer expectations to diversification, AI, digitalisation, data, regulations and compliance, and international trade. Issues such as how freight forwarders can balance efficiency, resilience and growth opportunities in an increasingly unstable cargo market, and how to navigate the new e-commerce landscape with regard to customs reform, consumer expectations and logistics adaptation, will be discussed alongside the potentials that CARGOLAND offers as a dedicated cargo gateway and e-commerce specialist.
The EU CBEC forum is designed to go beyond information-sharing. Its dedicated exhibition and networking areas provide a dynamic environment where industry leaders, entrepreneurs, solution providers and decision-makers can discover new technologies, showcase their capabilities and turn meaningful exchanges into concrete business partnerships. This year’s motto, “Freight meets Magic”, will set the tone from the cocktail welcome reception, which will launch the networking programme, through to the Gala Dinner, where a number of surprises are planned. The LAB Area will also bring this theme to life, showcasing smart technologies and operational solutions for e-commerce and air cargo. Driven by innovation, EU CBEC stands as a hotbed of ideas, expertise and growing industry experience.
With networking embedded throughout the programme, from pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings and exhibition encounters to exclusive evening events in iconic Liege venues, EU CBEC 2026 offers the ideal setting for the global cargo and e-commerce community to connect, collaborate and continue to carve out the future of e-commerce air logistics.
