The Company We Keep: Navigating Borders, Boundaries and Brands

The 2026 Conference on Business Archives, titled “The Company We Keep: Navigating Borders, Boundaries and Brands,” will be hosted in Brussels as a collaborative initiative between organizations from Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

​This conference gathers leading professionals to explore the evolving landscape of corporate memory in a complex, globalized environment. In a world where companies constantly change in structure and in ownership, the history and stories they hold - and how they keep them - have never been more important. This conference dives into the fascinating potential of corporate memory.

Registration for 'The Company We Keep' is now open. This years ICA-SBA conference once again serves as the international platform for connection and inspiration among those who care for and use company archives, collections, stories and more. Join us on the 21st and 22nd of september in the Royal Library in Brussels, Belgium for two days of talks and plenty of opportunity to network. This year brings a unique opportunity to join the booklet, which aims to highlight the wonderful collections of all the participants while also helping you connect with everyone present. A lasting reminder that across the world, many companies do in fact value their heritage and have interesting use-cases to show.
