Europatat Opens Registration for 2026 Congress in Brussels

Europatat has opened registrations for its annual Europatat Congress, which will take place in Brussels, Belgium, on 3 and 4 June 2026. The event brings together members of the European potato community for the Association’s yearly gathering.
 

A business-focused Congress for 2026

The 2026 edition will adopt a business-focused format centred exclusively on Europatat’s internal meetings. The Congress will provide a dedicated setting for members to review ongoing activities, discuss key sector priorities and strengthen collaboration within the European potato trade.

The programme will include meetings of Europatat’s five Commissions — Consumption Potatoes, Seed Potatoes, Sustainability, Technical and Regulatory Issues, and RUCIP — as well as the Europatat General Assembly. These sessions are reserved for Europatat members and sponsors and will address regulatory, technical and market developments affecting the sector.
 

Networking in the heart of Europe

Alongside the core business meetings, the Congress will offer several networking opportunities. Participants will attend the traditional Europatat Gala Dinner at La Maison du Cygne, located on Brussels’ Grand Place, as well as an informal gathering on the eve of the official opening.

Europatat will welcome members to Brussels for this key event in the European potato calendar.
