New Exhibitor: Visit Brussels

Brussels was shining this summer! The sunny weather has given everyone new energy. That bodes well for the new meeting season, where many events are planned, ideal for teambuilding, incentives, group visits and conferences of all kinds. Throwing a party with colleagues, thanking your customers or convincing prospects, … it’s possible again.
So take advantage of it!
