On the afternoon of Day 2, participants will have the opportunity to join a dedicated Networking & Brokerage Event.

Networking Poster Session | 1 October 2026

The day will conclude with the Networking Poster Session, a dynamic and informal format designed to showcase projects, initiatives, Living Labs, and innovative ideas while encouraging meaningful exchanges between participants. More than a traditional poster exhibition, the session creates a space for conversation, inspiration, and collaboration, allowing attendees to discover new initiatives, share experiences, and connect with peers from across the international Living Lab community.

To present a poster at the Networking Poster Session, you will need to purchase an add-on ticket. This gives you the opportunity to showcase your project, Living Lab, or initiative and be featured in the agenda.
