The Palais des Congrès de Liège hosts conferences, seminars, trade shows, receptions and large dinners for groups from 12 to well over 1,000 people. It stands on the banks of the Meuse, in the Parc de la Boverie, in Liège, Belgium. The venue lists more than a dozen rooms, from a 41 m² meeting room to a 1,605 m² reception hall.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists event types that include congresses, general meetings, seminars, training sessions, workshops, press conferences, company parties, afterworks and walking dinners. Its own staff and technical service support each event, so an organiser deals with one team for rooms and equipment. For a day of plenary sessions with breakouts, the Europe auditorium (1,000 people) or the Reine Elisabeth room (500) can be paired with the smaller Salon Grétry, Foyer des Délégués or the modular Salles Mosanes.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, private evenings, concerts and receptions appear among the event types offered. The Salle des Fêtes (986 m²) seats 700 at tables, and the Pas Perdus gallery (1,605 m²) takes 600 seated or 1,200 for a cocktail. Smaller parties fit the Galerie Supérieure (100 seated, 300 cocktail) or the Salon Grétry (180 seated).
