2026 Annual Conference

Brussels, October 2026

The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Shaping the Future of Trusted Reviews.’

As digital platforms continue to evolve, the importance of authenticity, transparency, and credibility in reviews has never been greater. The event will bring together industry leaders from across the globe to explore how trust can be protected and strengthened across the online review ecosystem.

Key issues on this year’s agenda include:

  • Emerging trends in review fraud, bad actors and cross-platform manipulation

  • The impact of AI on review platforms, including new tools for Trust & Safety strategies to tackle activity by bad actors

  • The evolving regulatory landscape in Europe and globally

  • The role of the wider online ecosystem

  • Best practices by platforms, industry and stakeholders to increase trust in reviews.
