Dear receiver of this invoice,
These are turbulent times for everybody and every business.
Especially for the creative industry. Yet, we witness a tremendous sense of
adaptation, flexibility and solidarity.
The agency that sends you this invoice undoubtedly has been working in quite
difficult circumstances over the past year to come up with innovative solutions
to help you grow or at least maintain your business.
And in doing so, they involve suppliers and freelancers for whom it is even
more difficult to make ends meet.
Each invoice stands for a team of hardworking people: strategists, project
managers, creative teams, producers, technical people and suppliers, who
dedicate all their talents to the success of your brand and company.
Which is why the Association of Communication Companies and the Event
Confederation humbly ask you to pay their invoices within the agreed terms,
preferably within 30 days. And by doing so, to respect the European Late
Payment Directive.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
Johan Vandepoel
CEO Association Communication Companies
Vinciane Morel
President Event Confederation
A special thanks to Ogilvy Romania and Ogilvy Social.Lab Brussels for the campaign.
Open Letter to respect 30d Payment Terms,

• Different interpretations taks levels on catering (2020)

We set things straight regarding taks audits
3 fields of application:
- Trade Fairs or day-events including overnight stay/ transport
- Combi Tickets for Festivals or events including several overnight stays in hotel/camping
- Orgnaized trips
Problems:
• Insurance for insolvency:
- Non existing in our sector because the rules aren’t clear
- Reinsurance impossible because of Covid-19 pandemic
- Equity of 15% requested, which is troublesome in Covid-times
- Cost for insurance: ‘Single Asset Based”
• Cancellation:
- Even stronger rules for packaged tours than for events/festivals
Dealing with issues regarding packaged tours
- Exemption as ‘packaged tours for combi-tickets with several overnight stays
when the event is qualified as culture, sports, leasure or training
- During the days of the main event => not considered as package tour
- When being ‘extended’ => considered as package tour
- Accessible and affordable insolvency insurances
- Insolvency insurances via the Government (possibly via state owned
Credendo). Limited contribution, based on a fixed fee per trip
- All of this is being lobbied for iaw Union Professionelle des Agences de
Voyage and Vereniging Vlaamse Reisbureaus

Vision Memo 2020/2024
Let’s raise our voice inside & outside.
1. Strengthen our business consulting skills.
2. Better quality education inflow.
3. Stimulating collaborations between agencies.
4. Accelerate diversity in agencies.
Four battle fields for transformation:
Strengthen our Business Consulting Skills
