PRESENTATION
Meet & Build was created in 2015 to coincide with the opening of the Quai 10 gaming space, a cultural center offering four cinemas, a brasserie and a space unique in Belgium offering a curation of video games, mostly indie, every month.
The desire of the City of Charleroi and its mayor Paul Magnette to promote this medium, as well as its creators and the local, Walloon and Belgian ecosystems, has contributed to the birth of Belgium’s first B2B conference.

The conferences on Saturday were all of exceptional quality thanks to our speakers from four different continents and our Belgian moderators. In the afternoon, Belgian streamers Chloé and Tahiti & Tricky, accompanied by the French Morrigh4n, presented the developers and their video games during our first Twitch stream session, live on stage and in front of the audience.
On Thursday and Friday, the international and business meetings brought together more than 200 participants who, thanks to the matchmaking app, held 232 meetings in the private area of the brasserie. The first day's programme included over 30 presentations from industry associations, schools, public bodies and service companies. The second day kicked off with a pitch session for investors with a dozen project leaders, half of them Belgian and the other half European (from the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, Ukraine, etc.) thanks to our partnership with SpielFabrique.
2022 AfterMovie
In 2022, for the post-Covid recovery, two additional days of international and business meetings and conferences brought together almost 500 participants. The success of delegations from guest-of-honor Quebec, Brazil and other European countries prompted us to organize an even more ambitious event in 2023.
2021 AfterMovie
From 2021, WALGA became a co-organizer of the event, with financial support from the Walloon Region, a partner from the beginning via Digital Wallonia. This pure Belgian edition was online-only, due to health regulations.
