Location
La Tricoterie
Rue Theodore Verhaegen 158, 1060 Brussels
La Tricoterie is a former factory transformed into a warm, character filled venue designed for connection and creativity making an ideal setting for GDevCon #7. There are a great range of spaces available to us with the Salle des Arches being the centrepiece for all of the presentations.
Rooted in sustainability, La Tricoterie prioritises reclaimed materials, thoughtful design, and catering built around seasonal, local ingredients – an approach that aligns perfectly with GDevCon’s values.
More than a venue, it is a place with soul which was crafted for people to meet, share, and build ideas. The perfect backdrop for GDevCon#7.
Evening Social Event
After the first day of the conference, join us for our evening social event at Wolf Food Market. With an extensive selection of street food vendors offering a wide variety of delicious options, it’s the perfect place to relax and recharge.
The social event is included in your ticket price and provides a great opportunity to reflect on the day, continue conversations, and connect with fellow attendees in a more informal setting.
Travel Information
Brussels is one of Europe’s best connected cities, making travel simple whether you’re arriving from the UK, elsewhere in Europe or further abroad.
High-speed rail is often the easiest and most comfortable option. Eurostar connects London St Pancras to Brussels-Midi in under two hours, and international trains from cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne and Frankfurt also arrive at Brussels-Midi. Another useful website is for Belgian Rail.
Most international travellers will arrive via Brussels Airport (Zaventem). The airport train station is located directly beneath the terminal, trains run frequently and take around 16–18 minutes to reach central Brussels. If you would prefer to take a bus there is an Airport Line (Bus 12/21) which provides a direct connection to the EU district and central Brussels.
Brussels has an easy-to-use public transport system of metro, tram and bus, operated by STIB/MIVB. Contactless payments (bank card, phone or watch) work across the network, or you may use a MOBIB card. Visit Brussels have lots of information on their website, and you can download an app to help get the most up to date information.
La Tricoterie is very easy to reach from the city centre and from Brussels-Midi station. From Brussels-Midi (closest major station) it is around a 10 minute walk. There are also lots of public transport options:
- Tram: Tram 81 to Bethléem – stops directly in front of the venue
- Metro: Lines 2, 3, 4, 6 to Porte de Hal – a short walk away
- Bus options: Multiple nearby routes including lines 48, 49, and 50
Accommodation
GDevCon has worked with the Brussels Booking Desk to secure four exclusive hotel rates for attendees travelling to Brussels this September. These offers are managed entirely by the Brussels Booking Desk – not by GDevCon – so any questions or changes should be directed to their team. There are, of course, plenty of other accommodation options across the city, and if you’d like to coordinate plans or compare choices with others, feel free to join the conversation in our GDevCon Discord.
