Honoured and inspired at our PwC Partners, Directors & Managers meeting at the stunning Koningin Elisabethzaal! Last Tuesday, I had the tremendous privilege to share the stage in this iconic venue alongside extraordinary minds — Rik Vera, renowned author, futurologist & business philosopher; Joris Van Der Gucht, Co-founder & CEO of Ravical; and Prof. Dr. Ann Nowé from VUB’s Artificial Intelligence Lab — for a dynamic panel on AI and Generative AI. Our conversation dove deep into how these transformative technologies are reshaping business landscapes, unlocking new opportunities, and redefining the future of work. The energy in the room was electric. Witnessing more than 750 partners, directors, and managers from across our practice coming together to explore bold ideas, challenge conventions, and collaborate on shaping tomorrow was truly inspiring. The Koningin Elisabethzaal’s grandeur only added to the moment — a fitting backdrop for such a forward-looking dialogue. I feel deeply privileged to have been there on stage, contributing to a day that was as beautiful as it was powerful. Together, we’re not just preparing for the future — we’re defining it. #PwCPDM25 #AI #GenerativeAI #Innovation #Leadership #FutureForward #Transformation #Collaboration #Trust #PwC PwC Belgium PwC Patrick Boone Hans Candries Matthias Reyntjens Lien Winne Christoph Zenner Patrick Van Haudt Pascal Janssens Sandy Aers Damien Walgrave Nicolas Loozen Torsten Hübsch Eva De Vries Koen Wouters Omkar Kulkarni Michiel De Keyzer Hakan Donmaz Philip Jeandarme Lina Roosendans Natacha Dewyngaert Ellen De Groote
