As a long-standing event dedicated to strengthening the international association community, the UIA Associations Round Table Europe has played a central role in shaping peer learning and sector-wide collaboration since 2007. The 2025 edition, to be held in Brussels, home to both the Union of International Associations (UIA) and Headquarters Magazine, marks a return to one of Europe’s key hubs for association life, addressing sector challenges, and advancing their capacity for impact. With workshops focused on governance, communication, sustainability, and member engagement, the event remains a vital reference point for associations navigating complexity and global change.

UIA's 19th Associations Round Table Europe will take place at the Marriott Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium, on 21 November 2025

 

The Associations Round Tables are organised annually by the UIA. The Round Tables, the core of UIA´s education project, provide an opportunity to learn through networking and through practice, to meet other international associations and share experience and knowledge.

 

In its 19th year of organising Round Tables for international associations, the UIA is expecting to welcome 200 delegates from international associations to this annual event.

 

Networking and educational content will combine to provide an engaging and rewarding experience for all delegates. 

 

Participants will meet speakers who are association experts and who will describe challenges they face in their association life and how they are meeting these challenges.

 

Delegates and speakers will split into break-out rooms for sessions, where each speaker will present a workshop on their topic. 

 

All delegates will be able to conduct discussions with the speaker and their peers.

 

UIA Associate Members and other industry partners are welcome to join all education and networking sessions throughout the event.
