Julia Fischer6 months agoWe have hosted several events at Area42 and the events space as well as the events managers have been nothing but amazing and accommodating. The venue provides a versatility in usage and is big enough to host both summit size events as well as smaller breakout sessions within the easily "created" rooms. I highly recommend working with them and getting enchanted by the location.
Tajana Medakovića year agoAfter organizing a high-level conference for 200 people at AREA42, there are only words of praise. The space itself is spacious, providing room for different and parallel activities, the interior is appealing. Special thanks to Vanessa and her team at AREA42 who did an amazing job in supporting us with every aspect of the logistics, even external providers. Everything went smoothly and even when there were issues (as the technical issues go at every event) the fixes and reactions were timely. Thank you for the great experience!
Thomas Chamberlina year agoHaving just hosted a 2-day event with 100 people at AREA 42, I can say without a doubt that this is the best place to host an event in Brussels! The venue is incredible, with good energy, and working with Vanessa was a great experience. Highly recommended!
Joachim Landuyta year agoWe chose this location as a venue for our security conference with over 200 attendees. We were specifically looking for a place that feels not too formal, where we could host a marketplace, have talks and do workshops. Area 42 is managed in a professional way, we enjoyed the flexibility and our attendees loved the atmosphere. The conference was a success!
George Maniasa year agoA bit confusing to find it as the entrance seems like a garage gate. The internal areas are great and dynamic offering a nice choice for meetings and events. The industrial style and urban decoration make the space great.
