BluePoint Antwerpen can host conferences, seminars, receptions and company events for up to 600 guests, in a venue at Filip Williotstraat 9 in Berchem, Antwerp. The official site lists seven event spaces, from a 600-guest hall to a 100-guest foyer, plus a set of small breakout rooms.
Seminars and company events
The venue is organized around business events. Zaal Marco Polo is the largest space, at 425 m² and up to 600 guests. Zaal James Cook offers 325 m² for up to 330 guests and sits next to the Brug & Bar, which can serve as a reception area before or after a plenary session. Zaal Vasco da Gama, at 150 m², holds up to 120 guests and suits a mid-sized seminar or a client presentation.
Eleven breakout rooms take smaller groups: Raleigh, Amundsen, Sacagawea, Pizarro, Vespucci, Cartier, Drake, Erikson, Cabot, Livingstone and Magellan. Together they are listed for up to 85 guests, with surfaces from 14 to 75 m². A conference with a plenary hall and parallel workshops can therefore stay under one roof.
Rooms and capacities
The Orangerie & Terras covers 226 m² and holds up to 250 guests. The Dakterras, a roof terrace of 184 m², holds up to 100 guests and has its own bar and an OFYR barbecue. The Foyer measures 150 m² and holds up to 100 guests. Capacities are the maximums stated by the venue, and the figure depends on the layout you choose, so confirm the seated and standing numbers for your format when you ask for availability.
Catering
Catering is handled in-house with a catering partner and is tailored to each event. Formats range from a reception on the roof terrace with barbecue cooking to a seated meal or a standing reception in one of the larger halls. The Brug & Bar next to Zaal James Cook gives a natural place for coffee breaks and welcome drinks.
History and setting
The place presents itself as a center for meetings, events and office space. It stands in Berchem, a district of Antwerp with a major railway station, which makes it easy to reach for delegates coming from Brussels, Ghent or Mechelen. The official site does not give a construction date or an architect, so this page does not describe the building's history.
Getting there
The address is Filip Williotstraat 9, 2600 Antwerpen (Berchem). Berchem is one of the main transport hubs of Antwerp, with rail connections to other Belgian cities and to the Netherlands. Check the exact walking time from the station and the parking options with the venue when you plan a day with many delegates.
Organizers who need a large plenary hall with a reception space and several small rooms for workshops will find the combination here. Organizers looking for a wedding venue should ask the venue first, as the official page we read does not offer weddings.
