Closest weekend match: HTC Open Day — Sat 13 Jun 2026.

The Cuchara dinner weekend itself is quiet for IT events [6]. If you can extend two weekends out, the free public HTC Open Day on Sat 13 Jun, 11:00–16:00, is the only Saturday match — campus-wide, no registration [8]. Weekday extensions stack from Thu 28 May (Signature Event) onward [7].

★ The Saturday Match

High Tech Campus Open Day

Sat 13 Jun 2026 · 11:00 – 16:00 · HTC Eindhoven, campus-wide
~26 km from Cuchara Free entry No registration Family-friendly

The only Saturday tech event inside the 30 km circle worth planning around. Same weekday slot as the Cuchara dinner, campus-wide demos and labs open to the public, the only public-day on the HTC calendar [8]. Two weeks after the dinner — close enough to bundle, far enough to need its own travel.

Hasselt (~33 km) and Genk (~32 km) miss the radius by a hair — but that's where Belgian Limburg's actual IT scene lives. Antwerp (~75 km) is well past, listed for context.
