 Traditional Belgian "beer tasting" dinner
Intrigued?.. Each entree will be accompanied by a Belgian beer which
compliments the taste of the meal. A truly unique dining experience
in a country which the Confederation of Belgian Brewers describes as "Beer
Paradise." We will be dining at the restaurant, the Drug Opera, which is located in the heart of
old Brussels.
The Drug Opera's interesting name derives from the building housing a former
drugstore and from the La Monnaie Opera house situated around the
corner. Sign up to join us for a friendly
evening full of local flavour!
Friday 16 May
Free Time
We have implemented the Friday free time the past few General Meetings with great success! Therefore, we decided to continue with this new tradition and as it is a much deserved night off, after some full days of learning, networking and the like. The Radisson SAS Royal hotel is situated steps away from the bustling Grand' Place, which provides a nice opportunity for you and your fellow publishers to take advantage of the fine dining Brussels has to offer.

 Gala Party at La Bibliothèque Solvay
The 100 year old La Bibliothèque
Solvay monument is a prestigious meeting point in Brussels
as it is situated in Leopold
Park, nearby the European
Parliament. Leopold Park contains a series of monuments that showcase Brussels' rich
architectural past.
La Bibliothèque Solvay
was meticulously restored in 1994, in accordance with the spirit of the time, as
it had been abandoned for ten years and was in much need of restoration.
The ground floor has been built around a magnificent basilica - shaped reading
room surrounded by studies.
The charm of La Bibliothèque
takes hold as soon as you walk through the front doors. Make sure to sign
up for an evening to be remembered!
Tickets for the Gala Party are separate from the General Meeting
registration.
