Last week I posted a thread on how to organise advocacy events in BXL. Today I am posting a list of my favourite venues. These are the best places to organise your advocacy event.

🧵

Let start with my favourite place. Stanhope Hotel. Located only a couple of meters away from Plux. It is a bit high end. You can go both small -in their Thea Room- or big -in their Balmoral conference room. I used Stanhope mainly for intimate events.

The Thon Hotel actually owns Stanhope, while also having great event facilities by themselves. The location is great, even though its not the place to have intimate events. Its more for seminars and workshops.

I will post now two venues by Edificio, the group that owns a couple of Iconic Venues in Brussels. The first is Concert Noble. Indeed is one of the most beautiful venues in Brussels. Its splendour always adds greatness to your event.

Also from Edificio, comes The Solvay Library. An Icononic location right next to the European Parliament.

In all fairness the best place to organise an event is in the European Parliament. I might do an extra thread on how to do this. For one you need an MEP to be your host. For now its important to know that the EP has great facilities and in terms of location it is the best

An insider tip is that the Flemish Parliament also rents out its spaces. I think they are cool. Its not right at the bubble but still not so far.

The Museum of Natural Sciences also rents out spaces. The cool thing is that you get to organise something in the midst of skeletons of dinasaurs.

If money is no object and if you want to go for a big event,
you can always knock yourself out and organise something at
-Autoworld
-The Square
-Tours and Taxis

Bonus: If you are pressed for budget you can also organise your event for no cost at

Embassies
Regional Representations
Comite of the Regions / EESC
International Organisations

HOWEVER your event needs to be aligned with their priorities.

That's a wrap!
