When the leaves change colour, it’s time for jumpers and coats and the days get shorter, you know: it’s autumn. An excellent time to organise a meeting or event at the Steen in Antwerp. Enjoy productivity, cosiness and brilliant autumn colours.
1. Change provides inspiration
Autumn brings changes in the weather, our daily lives (back to school!) and nature, which can be symbolic of transformation in professional life. Autumn is therefore a perfect time for a meeting in a prime location like the Stone. A boardroom, a lounge area or even a cruise terminal: bet you will find a space tailored to your event here?
2. Autumn in the city
The importance of an invigorating break during a meeting cannot be overstated. It provides mental refreshment, stimulates creativity, reduces stress and improves team dynamics. From the moment you step outside the Steen, you breathe in the fresh autumn breeze of the Scheldt, ideal for a short and oxygen-rich break. Thanks to its central location, the Steen is the perfect starting point for an autumnal walk through the city or a bike ride through the Pedestrian Tunnel to the Left Bank in search of autumn colours. A powerful ingredient for a successful meeting.
3. What if it rains?
However beautiful a sunny autumn day can be, we cannot guarantee that the weather will be nice on the day you organise your meeting in the Steen. Do you still fancy an inspiring visit to take a break from your meeting? Good news, because you can visit a fascinating attraction without getting wet. The Antwerp Story is an experience trail through eleven rooms in the Steen that introduces you to the history and highlights of Antwerp. To diamond museum DIVA, the Cathedral of Our Lady, the secret Vlaeykensgang and Unesco World Heritage Museum Plantin-Moretus, it’s just a short walk, with or without an umbrella.
4. Comfort food in autumn: what a combination
The biggest enemies of a successful meeting? Hunger and thirst. Naturally, we provide coffee, tea and water during your meeting. For lunch, you only have to step outside Steen to find an overwhelming offer of restaurants. How about pizza, Asian dishes or a game menu as ‘autumnal’ comfort food? Or would you like to get to know Antwerp’s culinary assets during a tasty guided walk?

5. A cosy autumn evening in Antwerp
Have you thought about a cosy meeting after work hours? You can hire The Antwerp Story’s lounge area in the evening for your meeting. Thanks to the presence of tables, stools and terrace chairs, this space of (in total) 230 m² is the perfect location to sound off with your guests while enjoying a cosy autumn evening and a beautiful view over the lights of the Scheldt, Left Bank and the city centre.
You see, Het Steen in Antwerp has everything you need for a successful and fun event in autumn. Fancy it? Discover all meeting and event rooms and facilities here.
