An Merlier, coordinator of Concertgebouw Events, the hall rental arm of the Concertgebouw, together with Visit Bruges Convention Bureau and BMCC, promotes our beautiful world heritage city of Bruges as the location for professional events.
‘The unique architecture and the special link with art and music have made the Concertgebouw a popular attraction for tourists for years. Together with Visit Bruges Convention Bureau and BMCC, we are also fully attracting international business tourism. As a Flanders Heritage Venue, the Concertgebouw is a coveted venue for international conferences. Indeed, with space for almost 1,300 people, the Concertgebouw is the largest venue in the Bruges region.’ – An Merlier Coordinator, Concertgebouw Events.
