The EU Cross-Border E-commerce Forum (EU CBEC)

The EU Cross-Border E-commerce Forum (EU CBEC) returns to Liege from 8–10 September 2026 for its fourth edition since launching in 2019, with LGG overseeing the organization of the event. Save the dates and join Europe’s leading annual cargo and e-commerce gathering.

The prestigious Palais des Congres Liege will transform into the CBEC stage and exhibition area, hosting over 300 companies, 100 freight forwarders, 60 airlines, shippers from a wide range of sectors, and 15 trade media outlets.

The 2026 edition will expand its focus beyond e-commerce, addressing the major trends of the air cargo industry, from digitalization, multimodality, and sustainability to safety and security. Dedicated e-commerce sessions will explore cross-border trade trends, emerging growth drivers, and strategies for airlines and airports navigating the sector’s continued expansion. Complementary topics such as digital marketing, data integration, and regulatory compliance will also feature on the agenda.

“The event has more than doubled in size since we first hosted it in 2019, and it continues to grow in scale and influence. We already have 60 airlines confirmed, 53 renowned speakers, and expect more than 850 participants, possibly even breaking the 1,000-attendee mark in 2026. If you’re active in air cargo, this is where you need to be.” says Frédéric Brun, Head of Commercial Cargo & Logistics at LGG.

Established in 2019, the EU CBEC is a joint Belgium–China initiative that unites retailers, brands, and global logistics leaders with digital platforms and technology providers. Past exhibitors have showcased pioneering innovations spanning digital tools, smart fulfilment, and advanced cargo handling solutions, all designed to enhance efficiency across global logistics networks. With a mission to drive innovation and digital transformation, the forum offers a dynamic mix of seminars, networking sessions, expert panels, keynotes, exhibition booths, B2B meetings, and company visits.

“The EU Cross-Border e-commerce Forum provides exceptional networking opportunities to connect with senior decision-makers and leaders from across the logistics spectrum, shippers, freight forwarders, technology innovators, airlines, and e-tailers, all gathered in one place,” says Torsten Wefers, Vice President Sales & Marketing at LGG.
