Organizers
Two teams. One mission.
Influence Forward is co-created by Stellar Tech and the Influencer Marketing Alliance, two organizations deeply involved in the evolution of influencer marketing in Belgium and across Europe.
One brings technology, data and innovation. The other brings the community, the standards and the conversations that move the industry forward.
Together, they share the same ambition: helping influencer marketing grow responsibly, professionally and sustainably.

About the Influencer Marketing Alliance
The Influencer Marketing Alliance (IMA) is a Belgian nonprofit initiative bringing together creators, brands, agencies, platforms and industry experts around a common goal: raising standards and helping the ecosystem mature.
IMA actively promotes responsible influence, transparency and education, while creating opportunities for dialogue between all stakeholders of the industry.
The organization is also one of the driving forces behind the Belgian Influencer Certificate, helping creators and brands navigate legal, ethical and professional best practices.
Why Influence Forward?
Because influence is no longer just a marketing channel.
Creators are becoming media.
AI is transforming content creation.
Platforms are rewriting the rules.
Trust has become a strategic asset.
And brands are looking for what actually works next.
After several successful industry gatherings in 2024 and 2025, bringing together hundreds of professionals, Stellar Tech and IMA decided to join forces and create a bigger, bolder and more ambitious event.
Influence Forward is where brands, agencies, creators, platforms, media and technology leaders come together to discuss the conversations that matter now — and the ones that will define the industry tomorrow.
