Neeru Das4 months agoThe Brussels Exhibition Centre or Brussels Expo, located on the Heysel Plateau, Laeken, Brussels, is an event complex. The twelve halls in there are used for National / International trade fairs & exhibitions etc. It has a covered space of 12,40,000 sq ft. The construction initially had 5 halls when it started in 1935, built for the Brussels International Exposition, celebrating the Belgian independence centenary. In 1958, additional buildings were constructed for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair and the Atomium was also erected nearby. The Palais 11 was built in 1977, the Palais 12 during 1989 & the Auditorium in 1993. In recent years, some of the existing halls were renovated and modernised. The venue has twelve main halls and several other exhibition areas, as well as twelve conference rooms. The main conference hall ie the Auditorium 2000, offers almost 2,000 seats, while the Palais 12 is a large indoor arena that hosts concerts, has up to 15,000 seats. The parking areas have room for 12,000 cars. The Centenary Palace, 541 ft × 295 ft, designed by Joseph Van Neck in Art Deco style, was the most ornamental of all and is one of the remaining buildings of the 1935 World's Fair, which had the world's largest reinforced concrete frame too. During Expo 58, its façade was hidden behind a 66 ft temporary mask covered with 94 bronze stars and a copper dove. Currently, it is still being used for trade fairs, as well as concerts. Since this building is located right opposite the Atomium, its existence could not have missed my keen eye, during my visit in 2024.
Eddie Rogers5 months agoVisited the expo for the recent motor show. The venue is very big much bigger than the convention centres in the UK. The floor plan was well organised and their were kiosks with maps on the various halls. Food was also well catered for with multiple food outlets. There were also lots of toilets in different locations. Hopefully the motor show will return to expo in 2027.
Mary Aderonke Obayemi4 months agoAttending the Brussels Auto Show was an unforgettable experience. From luxury cars to powerful motorcycles and innovative bikes, every corner of the exhibition showcased excellence, precision, and vision. The level of design, technology, and craftsmanship on display was truly impressive and, honestly, a bit overwhelming in the best way possible. What made it even more special was sharing this moment thanks to an invitation from my former colleagues. Walking through the show reminded me how passion, innovation, and hard work come together to create something extraordinary. It wasn’t just about admiring beautiful machines—it was about seeing what’s possible when ambition meets smart work and forward thinking. I left the auto show inspired, motivated, and more determined than ever to keep pushing myself to grow, improve, and aim higher. Experiences like this don’t just entertain you; they reset your mindset and remind you why striving for better is always worth it. Grateful for the experience and the inspiration 🚗
