The bar is about 48m2... that's big!
A deadline was set for finding and booking a venue. That deadline was today, close call! Let's move that post-it to the right...
Visited about 10 venues, one worse than the other until I visited Stuurboord in Antwerp. As I already mentioned in one of my previous posts Stuurboord is an old hangar which has been renovated to a not so traditional venue to say the least. It's one gigantic open space, I think it can fit about 2000 people standing-up in total. The venue is divided in 5 units, one of them is the bar, another one will be taken - in combination with the bar - for reception / lunch / networking area. So that leaves 3 units (there are some smaller meetings rooms we can use if we want), unit capacity is +/- 250 people. Oh yes, before I forget, there are mobile walls between the unit so no, you cannot listen to two talks at the same time ;-) Two units will be used for hosting the normal sessions. The last unit will be used either for workshops, or can even be divided more for more Open Space rooms, depending on the program.
Some more picture I found on the web...

Customizable to make it more Lounge (Sponsors???)

Looks great doesn't it?
Now I just got to find a dozen sponsors to cover costs :-D
