Brussels is home to the European Commission, the European Parliament and NATO. It is a buzzing, influential city where history is made. The city is a key European commercial hub too, a base for many progressive international companies.

However this forms just one of the many layers of a city that since the middle of the last century has become a cosmopolitan, thriving metropolis. It is a surprising and dynamic place with a rich ethnic mix, impressive architecture and museums that rank among the best in Europe and a superb restaurant scene and energetic nightlife. The key attractions and places to see are crowded into a centre that is small enough to be absorbed and enjoyed over a few days.

The layout of Brussels is defined by a ring of inner city boulevards which embodies historic class divisions. For centuries the ruling class lived in the upper town and area of wide boulevards and grand mansions which look down on the tangled streets of the lower town traditionally the home of shopkeepers and workers. Here in between this divide, Cable Congress will take place in the newly renovated meeting venue- SQUARE which is located in Mont des Arts, the lively cultural quarter.

There is a raw vigour to the city centre with a buzz that is hard to resist which probably explains the eclectic mix of people that have come to Brussels and just never left!
