The brief

EURid appointed Elite Events to plan, coordinate and deliver EuroDIG 2026, the European Dialogue on Internet Governance, held on 26–27 May at the European Commission’s Charlemagne Building in Brussels.

Hosted by EURid with the support of the European Commission, the conference brought together participants from public institutions, industry, civil society and the technical community. The brief required an integrated operational approach to support the conference programme and the celebration of 20 years of the .eu domain.

Our responsibilities

Elite Events managed the event preparation in close collaboration with EURid’s internal team and acted as the principal point of contact for external suppliers. We coordinated operational requirements with EURid, EuroDIG and the venue representatives, bringing the different workstreams together within a shared delivery schedule.

Our responsibilities encompassed venue set-up and partner booths, supplier logistics, audiovisual and stage support, catering, decoration and event signage. We also coordinated registration staff, badge preparation, participant materials, shuttle arrangements and photography.

Preparation included staffing briefings, operational schedules, presentation materials and liaison with the master of ceremonies, aligning practical arrangements with the programme requirements.

Delivery challenges

The principal challenge was coordinating multiple organisations, suppliers and technical requirements within an institutional venue. Plenary sessions, breakout discussions, registration and networking activities required clear allocation of responsibilities and close coordination between the operational teams.

Our team aligned access and installation arrangements, supplier deliveries, staffing deployment and programme transitions. Technical preparation also required coordination with the venue’s audiovisual team to support presentations, session timing and the conference’s hybrid format.

Results

EuroDIG 2026 was delivered through a coordinated combination of conference operations, participant services and supplier management. Elite Events provided a central operational contact, connecting preparatory decisions with on-site delivery throughout the two-day programme.

In its feedback, EURid highlighted our professionalism, responsiveness and flexibility, together with our ability to provide practical solutions when requirements changed. The client also recognised our understanding of the European institutional environment and the Brussels event landscape.
