WHO IS BRUSSELS EXPO GROUP

BRUSSELS EXPO IS A FLOURISHING

BUSINESS WITH GLORIOUS HIS-

TORY, SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS AND

PROMISING PLANS. HOSTING FAIRS

AND EXHIBITIONS STILL REPRE-

SENTS BRUSSELS EXPO’S CORE

BUSINESS WITH ALMOST 300 DAYS

OF EVENTS HOSTED THIS YEAR.

From the President, Philippe Close

Moreover, this past year, Brussels Expo also successfully implemented its diversi-fication into the entertainment industry, with a number of concerts and show datesat PALAIS 12, as well as the organisation and promotion of two festivals, two publicevents and public exhibitions (Bruxelles les bains and Winter Wonders).

Brussels Expo now manages two new downtown locations outside its Heyselhome. These are the impressive Palais de la Bourse (Stock Exchange Building),host of the Beer Temple in 2018, and Madeleine Hall, conveniently located inthe city centre.

To bring the best out of the iconic Madeleine Hall, BrusselsExpo is transforming it into a concert and show theatre forup to 1.500 spectators. In addition to the event rental ofthe space, Brussels Expo will take advantage of its experi-ence and knowledge acquired managing its many venues,and develop the agenda of concerts and shows.

Next to the focus on new developments, Brussels Exporemains committed to preserving its traditional homebase, with heavy investments in its infrastructure –both on a technical level and in terms of im-proving visitor access and MICE facilities.These investments will be made in thenext few years and are in line with theNEO project that will provide Brus-sels Expo with a renewed attractiveenvironment.

The City of Brussels and the Brus-sels-Capital Region hope to trans-form the neighbourhood into a vitaleconomic and international centre.Projections are for 15 million ex-pected visitors to Heysel by 2021!

These diverse investment opportu-nities speak to a bright future andwill continue to strengthen Brussels’impressive international standing.

Brussels Expo Group is now active in three different industries: Fairs and Exhibi-tions, Entertainment, and MICE. Our activities have confirmed the ability of thegroup to diversify from the historic and core business of Fairs and Exhibition.

Entertainment will play a key part in bringing new content. Our successful concerthall PALAIS 12, combined with the new opportunities of our downtown concertvenue La Madeleine, The Brussels Summer Festival and our promotional entityFire-Starter, allow us to add to the appeal of Brussels as a destination.

We also see an increased focus on international trade fairs. They will help in thelong-term filling of the venue, as well as being beneficial for local trade develop-ment and the wider economic impact through business tourism.

The NEO project in our neighbourhood representstremendous opportunities for Brussels Expo Group toportray itself to the public as a favourite location toenjoy any kind of event. It will allow Brussels Expo tooperate competitively in the MICE sector.

A recurring theme across all facets of our businessis technology. Technology is an ever-increasing

component of our business mix whether it is in theexperience of the visitors or in the operational aspects.

We will therefore focus on technology as a USP.

In the meantime, we need to have the correct infra-structure and services. We are currently re-

fining the offering to be taken tomarket. Brussels Expo is in a good po-sition to deliver professional servicesto both organisers and exhibitors byproviding outstanding experiencesto visitors due to the talents of theindividuals within the group.

A business is only as good as itspeople and this past year hasbeen about defining and build-ing an organisational structureto have strength in-depthacross the disciplines, which

the new business will require.

FESTIVAL DES MUSIQUES

The Brussels Expo group includes several sub-sidiary companies enabling the group to di-versify its activities between three industries(Fairs and Shows, MICE and Entertainment)and two core businesses (Venue Managementand Organisation).

Since 2011 the Brussels Expo group has takenan important step in its development strategy,adding a strong Entertainment stream to itsFairs and Shows and MICE businesses. Thisstrategy creates complementary activities,limiting the risks associated with exposure ofits activities to the economic environment ofa single sector, while enabling it to intensifythe use of facilities in under-exploited periodssuch as school holidays and evenings. Thisstrategy also provides the group with exposureto industries with different economic cyclesand audiences. Entertainment activities rep-resent more than 40% of the total turnovergenerated by the group in 2014-2015.

The Entertainment sector allows BrusselsExpo to open up to new opportunities in ac-tivities with high added value. In terms ofMICE, the NEO project will bring the groupa third infrastructure, which is complementaryto its first two activities – an internationalconvention centre. In terms of fairs andshows, Brussels Expo aims to stabilise itsrentals for general public shows and redevelopinternational and B2B shows.

OUR THREEINDUSTRIES1. FAIRS AND SHOWS represent the foun-dation and core of the Brussels Expo group,where it earned both its reputation and indus-try know-how.

As the most important exhibition venue of acity with so much personality, Brussels Expohas a clear mission: by bringing people - buyersand sellers - together in optimal circumstances,Brussels Expo continuously helps build the suc-cess of involved companies and contributes tothe prosperity of surrounding markets.With 44 shows on its agenda this past year,Brussels gathers inspiring ideas on many differ-ent domains: work and leisure time, home andfar away destinations, nature and multimedia.Every aspect of life and society is covered by ashow at Brussels Expo.

2. MICE: The multi-purpose facilities ofBrussels Expo enables the company to hostmany MICE activities. This industry is meantto grow in the coming years, in conjunctionwith the building of the international conven-tion centre. To support and maximise this in-

tended growth, Brussels Expo created a com-mercial team this year.

3. ENTERTAINMENT: The Entertainmentactivities of Brussels Expo include the venuemanagement of the concert hall P12, the con-cert hall “Madeleine” in the centre of the city,as well as the activities of “Fire-Starter”, thepromotional entity of the Brussels Expogroup. The group also owns two music festi-vals: the Brussels Summer Festival, and Flash-back, the Vintage Festival.

This past year, the Brussels Expo Group alsostill organised two large public events in thecity centre, on behalf of the City of Brussels(through its entity Brussels Major Events):Winter Wonders and Bruxelles-les-Bains.They aim to increase tourism in Brussels atboth winter and summer events.

OUR TWO COREBUSINESSES1. VENUE MANAGEMENT: Our teamshave mastered the ability to host any event orshow in our exquisite venues. They are com-mitted to giving our clients the best serviceand advice to make the most of their gatheringin one of the five venues operated at BrusselsExpo. Internal services include parking, cater-ing options, security, cleaning, and technicalservices. Brussels Expo teams are committedto their clients’ needs, providing optimal solu-tions to guarantee the best experience for ourvisitors.

2. ORGANISATION: Our ‘Entertainment’teams excel in creating leisure events thatcontribute to the cultural agenda of Brussels.Their expertise include the promotion of inter-national exhibitions and family shows, as wellas the 360° organisation of music festivals andpublic events in the city centre.

OUR FIVEVENUES1. EXHIBITION HALLS: Brussels’ Expo ex-hibition halls are historic buildings dating from1935 and 1958, offering facilities in therenowned Art Deco style. Total infrastructurecovers over 115.000 m² of event space in 12different halls. The halls can easily be used assingle exhibition spaces, as well as being asso-ciated with each other or with conference andmeeting rooms. Possibilities are numerous forhosting an entire range of public, professionalor private events, tailored to the needs of eachclient. Each exhibition hall has its own assetsand can be combined with reception facilitiesor meeting rooms.

2. PALAIS 12, CONCERT HALL: PALAIS12 opened its doors in September 2013, en-abling Brussels to host major concerts andshows with up to 16.000 spectators.

The outstanding location of these venues north ofBrussels next to the Atomium is an importantasset. Thanks to its central position and accessi-bility, the many large events organised at BrusselsExpo demonstrate that Brussels Expo is the onlyvenue in Belgium capable of welcoming specta-tors from across the country, as well as across theborders. With its proximity to the European insti-tutions, visitors of Heysel truly reflect Europe’smultinational population. In addition, optimal pub-lic transport connections link major cities includingParis, Lille, Cologne and London to Brussels in lessthan two hours. Proximity to the national airportattracts an even wider audience.

3. MADELEINE (SINCE JUNE, 2015): theMadeleine concert hall was recently been en-trusted to Brussels Expo in 2015. BrusselsExpo intends to transform this magnificentand historical hall - former venue of the Brus-sels Casino- in the city centre into a premiumconcert and shows venue meant for 400 to1.500 spectators.

4. THE BSF SITE: The Brussels SummerFestival is organised in three public gatheringlocations across the city centre: Place desPalais, Place des Musées and Mont des Arts.

5. BOURSE (Stock Exchange Building): En-trusted to Brussels Expo by the City of Brusselsin 2010, the building is to become a majortourist and event venue by 2016 as host to theBelgian Beer Palace. Pending the completionof the project, Brussels Expo manages thevenue for public and private events as well aspublic exhibitions.

«The conference centre is a great complimentary asset forBrussels Expo, granting direct access to the MICE market.This new infrastructure is an excellent opportunity forBrussels Expo to develop new and essential functions inaddition to its existing activities. Plus, this new in-frastructure is the natural extension to its existingone. Conference activities at Heysel could use our meet-ing rooms and event halls. Palais 12, for instance, canhost conferences of up to 10.000 participants».

Denis Delforge, CEO of Brussels Expo.

and the future CONVENTION CENTRE:The Brussels convention centre will be built atHeysel in 2020. The facility will be capable ofhosting a variety of events (meetings, confer-ences, international conventions, shows, per-formances), sometimes simultaneously, withup to 5.000 participants while respecting themost rigorous safety standards. The venue willoffer simultaneous interpreting in at least fourlanguages and the very latest in audiovisualand digital communications technologies. Tosupport the future success of the conferencecentre, Brussels Expo has created a commer-cial team.

A NEW LIFE FOR THE EMBLEMATIC MADELEINE HALL.This historic facility in the very heart of the cityhas hosted many different events in the past.The building is very stylish and deserves to be-come a prestigious concert and event hall, withits own programming and line-up of artists.After a rental period by the Brussels Casino,the City of Brussels entrusted Brussels Expoto take over the management of this excep-tional venue. Transformations have been doneover the past few months, and the hall will startits activities in early 2016 as a 400-1.000spectator concert and show venue in a firstphase, going up to 1.500 in a second phase.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL GUARANTEED AT BRUSSELS EXPOFOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS Brussels Expo signed a contract with Cirquedu Soleil to guarantee the exclusivity of its newshow in Belgium to be played at Brussels Expofor the next 10 years.
