AI is not the future. It’s already here. The real question is: are we using it with intention?

At NY Tech Week, BelCham and Patron Member AxonJay.ai brought together business leaders, innovators, and decision-makers for a conversation that moved far beyond AI buzzwords.

Because the question is no longer whether companies should use AI.
The real challenge is how to implement it in a way that creates meaningful value, empowers people, and drives smarter decision-making.

Throughout the evening, the discussion explored how Hybrid-AI can strengthen human intelligence rather than replace it, and what responsible leadership looks like in an AI-powered world.

🎤 A sincere thank you to our outstanding speakers for sharing practical insights and real-world experiences:
• Uvika Sharma – INTLDA
• Werner Vergult – Q4Talent
• Yvan De Munck – YER USA
• Jean-Philippe M.L. S. – AxonJay.ai

💡 A few ideas that stayed with us:
→ AI performs best when guided by clear business objectives
→ Technology should augment human judgment, not substitute it
→ Ethical leadership is becoming a business imperative, not an option
→ Smarter AI adoption means choosing the right tools for the right challenges

A special thank you to AxonJay.ai for co-hosting, and to ERNEST NY & Renson North America for welcoming us into their incredible showroom.

At BelCham, we believe the most meaningful conversations happen when industries, ideas, and people come together to explore what’s next. This evening was exactly that.

It’s official: A new chapter begins at BelCham!

After an incredible tenure as Managing Director, Sophie Berben is stepping into an exciting new chapter. And while change always brings emotion, what we feel most today is gratitude.

Gratitude for Sophie’s warm leadership, clear vision, and unstoppable energy that she poured into BelCham every single day. She helped grow not just an organization, but a true and caring community, creating meaningful connections, ambitious new initiatives, and unforgettable moments that strengthened the Belgian-American network. Sophie truly gave BelCham everything she had, every minute of every day. ❤️

And what an exciting next chapter it is...

We are thrilled to announce that Rob Napoli will be stepping into the role of Managing Director of BelCham! 🇺🇸🇧🇪

For many in our community, Rob is already a familiar face through the BeNeLux Catalyst Accelerator Program, BelCham missions, and many of our events. With extensive experience across Europe and the US, he brings a strong international perspective and deep understanding of cross-border growth, perfectly aligned with BelCham’s mission of bridging Belgian innovation and American opportunity.

At BelCham, leadership may evolve, but our mission remains the same: community first. Always.

To Sophie: thank you for your passion, leadership, and everything you have given to BelCham.
To Rob: we are so excited for this next chapter and grateful that it continues with someone who already knows and believes in this community.

The future is bright. ✨
