boss meet-ups
connect live with the community
From the start in 2022 we already added live moments in the BOSS schedule, those were always great moments of poker and unique opportunities to connect with other BOSS players. In 2025 we expanded this concept to a live poker festival in the Casino of Spa. Due to the great hospitality and huge enthousiasme of the players we decide for 2026 to keep this festival approach integrated in the year schedule. In 2026 we plan two big meet-ups: The Gathering and BOSS Arena.
The Gathering is an unique live concept built on a festival of 10 days, kicking off in clubs before moving to Belgium's newest live poker venue, located within the Casino of Middelkerke. Let’s celebrate poker together, across the whole country!

The complete schedule and location will be announced by the end of April. In the meantime, please mark these dates in your calendar.
