We have just decided on the location and date for the new Barcamp Brussels:

WHEN: Sunday Sept 24th 2006 (back to back with EurOSCON, GovCamp and DrupalCON)
WHERE: Skynet Lounge, in K-NAL building next to Brussels harbour

As you can guess from the location, Skynet has been confirmed as the principal sponsor again (thx Bart and Clo), which allows us to provide a nice and stimulating surrounding for our speakers/attendees.
