QED

Promoting European Dialogue. Brussels based event organiser. www.qed.eu QED was created in Brussels for the Brussels arena.

QED is an independent meeting organiser, specialised in creating a forum for dialogue between policy makers, regulators, NGOs and companies. By inviting representatives from all sides of the discussion we make sure that the debate is balanced and focused on the relevant issues. As an event organiser, our main focus is European Affairs. At our QED events we are both the initiator and the organiser.

We act as a provider of a neutral platform, identifying important legislative proposals and ensuring a balanced debate focused on the issues at hand.

🎥 “QED has always been about creating a space where dialogue drives impact.”

In this short video, our founders Martin Sjöberg and Adam Lindmark sat down for an interview to reflect on QED’s journey.
They shared how QED started, what keeps us motivated, and the values that shape everything we do. From our very first conferences to becoming one of Brussels’ leading event organisers in EU policy and financial regulation, the mission remains the same: to connect people, challenge ideas, and influence policy.

They talked about:
• The challenges of starting something new
• Why personal connections matter just as much as the agenda
• How QED stays true to its mission while evolving with the times

💡 “We’re proud of what QED has achieved — but the most exciting part is what lies ahead.”

This clip is just a teaser — don’t miss the full conversation with our founders.
