Live communication agency Event Masters, based in Willebroek, has received the prestigious Belgian MICE Agency of the Year Award for the second time in three years. The award, presented during the Travel Awards at the Skyhall by Brussels Airport, recognizes the agency that most distinguished itself over the past year in terms of vision, innovation, customization, and impact across the full spectrum of Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Events. It confirms Event Masters' leading position in Belgium and the international MICE market.


A full-service MICE partner, at home and abroad

The jury praised the way Event Masters has grown in recent years into a fully-fledged 360° MICE partner with an integrated approach that brings together incentives, conferences, team building, and corporate events in a single ecosystem.


Under the umbrella of Group Event Masters, with its three specialist brands Event Masters, Runmate and Team Masters, the company combines its creativity and operational excellence with the strategic expectations of clients at home and abroad.


Bert Knuts, CEO of Group Event Masters: “Every award is wonderful, but this one is special because it's a recognition of everything we do: incentives, events, team building, and conferences. It's confirmation that our unique vision is working and that our teams are making a difference every day. We're proud and incredibly motivated to raise the bar even higher.”


MICE as a strategic lever

While the award is the result of a comprehensive approach to live communication, the jury also highlighted the remarkable international work that Event Masters has achieved in the MICE sector in recent years.

In a market where conferences, incentives, corporate meetings and strategic offsites are increasingly being used as drivers of culture, motivation and retention, Group Event Masters is positioning itself with two specialist brands: Event Masters, with strong expertise in international incentives and corporate experiences, and Runmate, the PCO/DMC brand that elevates conferences and congresses to a higher strategic level.


Jan Van den Broeck, Head of Runmate: “We see that companies today expect much more from conferences and congresses. They no longer want traditional meetings, but strategic moments that provide direction, connect people, and create real impact. With Runmate, we combine creativity, strategy, and seamless execution to turn a conference into an experience that strengthens an organization.”


Within the international incentives domain, Event Masters has built a particularly strong profile in recent years. The agency no longer views incentive travel as mere reward, but as a strategic tool for leadership, culture, motivation, and retention. This aligns seamlessly with recent studies, such as the Incentive Travel Index, which shows that more than half of companies consider incentives a key competitive advantage.


Evelien Schepers, Head of International Events: “Incentive travel has truly evolved in recent years. Today, companies are looking beyond a beautiful destination: they're seeking experiences that connect, inspire, and create impact. That's exactly what we do: we build experiences that resonate and strengthen a brand from within.”


Event Masters organizes more than 40 international travel and corporate events annually, in approximately 15 to 20 countries. The team is active abroad almost weekly and increasingly focuses on new, surprising, and authentic destinations that bring teams closer together and help organizations strengthen their culture and engagement.


An award for the entire team, customers and partners

The jury also emphasized that Event Masters distinguishes itself through collaboration: between teams, with clients and with hundreds of partners worldwide.


Evelien Schepers: "This award recognizes our years of craftsmanship and our team, which gives its all every day, both in Belgium and abroad. It also recognizes our clients, who consistently place their trust in us to create exceptional experiences together. We are honored and ready to raise the bar again."
