The International Leadership Summit (ILS) is returning from the 8th – 10th June 2026 in La Hulpe, Brussels — bringing together senior leaders and young leadership personalities from across the European and global promotional merchandise industry. Join the BPMA, fellow European Associations and members, plus PPAI for this must-attend event dedicated to the international promotional products industry.
At a time when international cooperation, regulation, and market dynamics are becoming increasingly complex, the ILS offers a trusted space for strategic dialogue, exchange of perspectives, and cross-border collaboration.
Why Attend?

- A comprehensive view of emerging pressures and the opportunities reshaping key markets
- Current guidance on product safety and sustainability standards influencing global supply chains
