MakeMembership your voice heard & be part of the dialogue! We believe that through“ discussion and debate we can create better understanding and in the end better policy making. ” About QED

QED is an independent meeting organiser specialised in creating a forum for dialogue between policymakers, regulators, NGOs, and companies. By inviting representatives from all sides of the discussion we make sure that the debate is balanced and focused on the relevant issues.

QED was created in Brussels for the Brussels arena. As an event organiser, our main focus is European Affairs.

At our QED events, we are both the initiator and the organiser. We act as a provider of a neutral platform, identifying important legislative proposals and ensuring a balanced debate focused on the issues at hand. Type of QED events
