Belgium’s first MarTech event sold out in record time
iO’s MarTech’25 puts digital urgency on the agenda and helps businesses bridge the gap between marketing and technology.

Businesses are under mounting pressure to work faster, smarter and at scale. That's why leading digital agency iO is hosting Belgium's first large-scale MarTech event on 12 November. The fact that the event was sold out in record time confirms the urgent need for knowledge, context, and strategic support. Because companies that deploy technology cleverly in marketing today will win market share tomorrow.
MarTech'25: from nice-to-have to business-critical
Marketing technology is no longer a luxury – it's a strategic necessity. Companies that don't invest in MarTech today are losing ground to competitors who are embracing automation, AI and personalised customer experiences.
MarTech'25 offers concrete answers to these challenges, with insights you can apply straight away.
"Many businesses struggle with MarTech complexity," says Maarten De Schepper, Commercial Director at iO. "As a long-term partner, we want to help them choose and leverage technology strategically. MarTech'25 is a direct expression of that commitment."
