Welcome Note from BNIX

The 42nd Euro-IX Forum is in Antwerp, a city known for its rich history, art and fashion!

A diamond capital with a world-class port, stunning architecture, a thriving cultural scene and a lively atmosphere.
As this year’s host, we are especially proud to celebrate BNIX’s 30th anniversary - a milestone that highlights three decades of commitment to a robust and resilient internet exchange infrastructure in Belgium.

The Euro-IX Forum brings together the peering and interconnection community to share knowledge, exchange insights, and strengthen collaborations. As Belgium’s leading Internet Exchange, we are honoured to support this event and facilitate discussions that drive our industry forward.

This forum is a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers, explore emerging trends, and contribute to the evolving landscape of internet infrastructure.

We look forward to insightful discussions, meaningful connections, and an engaging program that will help shape the future of interconnection.

See you in Antwerp, where history meets innovation!
