WELCOME BACK! WE HAVE MISSED YOU. Although virtual meetings were the best alternative options during the recent crisis when staying at home was strongly advised, they did not replace the live face-to-face meetings.

We are happy that slowly the world is coming open again and people can meet their friends and families.

In Limburg, we are ready to welcome you back again too. In the past few weeks, the Limburg hotels and event venues have worked hard to make their meeting location COVID proof.

Curious about topics such as: Why you should choose for Limburg, Our health and safety measurements, Our corona-proof capacities, Virtual site visit, and Social programs?

Take a quick look at this digital brochure.

The Belgian Limburg Convention Bureau (BLCB) is there to help you with your search for the right Limburg partners for your event. And as always: our service is free and independent.

Let’s meet, Let’s Create and make change possible.

05 I 10 REASONS

10 REASONS I 06

WHY LIMBURG?

1. WE HAVE SPACE! The Limburg region is the verdant garden of Brussels (45 minutes’ drive) and Maastricht (20 minutes’ drive).

It is not crowded, there are no traffic jams, and everything is within a short distance from each other. It won’t take a long time for you to relax in these a-typical meeting surroundings.

Did you know that Hasselt, the province’s capital, can be used as a 360 degrees city where your group can use the whole city for an event?

2. WE ARE GREEN! In this green area, we have a National Park, the Bokrijk open-air museum, the largest Japanese Garden of Europe, a dessert-area called the Sahara, the Haspengouw fruit region and the Maas Valley with a lot of opportunities to have fun in, on or along the river Maas.

Did you know that we have invented award-winning cycle paths here, such as Cycling Through Water and Cycling Through the Trees?

3. WE HAVE CITIES! Or, as we like to call them, creative, young, multicultural, and vibrant hubs. The former mining city of Genk, now converted into an energy hotspot where you can reload your batteries, and the city of Hasselt, where everything is within walking distance from your hotel room. Or how about Tongeren, the oldest city in Belgium? And Maasmechelen, famous for its rich nature, wellness facilities and outlet shopping?

Did you know that all these cities offer hotels, conference venues, and unique spots for your events?

4. WE LIVE THE GOOD LIFE! La Vita Bella, Savoir Vivre, whatever you want to call it, our way of living is reflected in the way we do business. We drink our own Limburg wine and beer, we eat the food from our region, we like to welcome different nationalities and we have a knack for reinventing ourselves.

Did you know that we have 15 Michelin Stars in this culinary region?

5. WE HAVE FLANDERS HERITAGE VENUES! Flanders Tourism has labeled four conference venues in Limburg as official Flanders Heritage Venues. When you organize your meeting here, your delegates will experience state-of-the-art conference possibilities in a unique setting with a tangible history.

The Heritage venues are castle Alden Biesen, C-mine, Bokrijk and Thor Central

6. WE CAN CONNECT YOU WITH LOCAL KNOWLEDGE! Over the past decades, the province has evolved from a Manufacturing Economy into a Creative Knowledge Economy. This means a boom in courses at the University of Hasselt (UHasselt) and a growth of campuses such as Thor Park (Energy-related topics), and Bioville (Healthrelated topics). Want to connect with local knowledge sources or organizations to upgrade your event? We can help you.

Did you know that Limburg is strong in the following topics: Health&Care, Energy, High-tech Engineering, Logistics&Mobility, Construction, and the Leisure Economy?

7. WE OFFER A FREE AND INDEPENDENT SERVICE! The Belgian Limburg Convention Bureau (BLCB) is your contact to help you to find the right location for your next event.

Did you know that we work closely together with Visit Flanders Convention Bureau and the city offices like Meet in Genk and Meet in Hasselt? They all provide the same services: free, independent, and objective.

8. WE OFFER GOOD PRICES! Limburg offers hotels in 2, 3, 4, and 5-star deluxe ranges in the vicinity of conference and event venues. The prices in Limburg are more competitive than in other larger capital cities.

Did you know that the largest conference hotel in Limburg is in Hasselt? Over 200 delegates can eat, meet, and sleep in one hotel the city center.

WELCOME BACK TO LIMBURG!

9. WE DON’T HAVE SUPPLIERS. WE BUILD RELATIONSHIPS!

Whether you need an outdoor program, an audiovisual company, a tour coach or a city guide: we have all the contacts you need.

Professional contacts, with experience, and at your service to make your event a success.

Did you know that we work with event bureaus and PCOs that can help you to create and organize your live events, hybrid events, and virtual events?

10. DARE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! In this new world, we want to add value to your meetings.

In Limburg, we dare to be different and strive for an unforgettable stay for your delegates.

Did you know that your delegates will only come if they know that they will miss out if they stay at home and follow the meeting virtually? The live experience has to offer that extra something.

Together with you, we want to work on that experience.

SOCIAL PROGRAMS I 08

SOCIAL PROGRAMS SOCIAL PROGRAMS

TEAMBUILDING BUREAU ECCOLALUNA offers programs like La Talpa.

It is a game concept in which every player is dragged into a story where no one can be trusted. The participants are divided into groups and those groups then compete against each other. Some people play a double game: they try to sabotage the assignments unnoticed. But in the end, this remains a team building game and you try to win as a group.

However, there is still something unsettling about carrying out assignments as a group, where cooperation is extremely important to achieve success, but knowing that someone within the group will do everything to prevent this!

THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF SOCIAL ACTIVITIES THAT CAN BE ORGANIZED WITH THE HYGIENE AND SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES IN MIND. THE BIG ADVANTAGE OF LIMBURG IS ITS SPACE AND OUTDOOR OPPORTUNITIES.

• We are famous for our award-winning cycle paths: Cycling Through Water and Cycling Through the Trees.

Of course, you can do these outdoor activities with your group while solving puzzles and taking part in activities along the route.

• Enjoy the old Flemish games at the Bokrijk openair museum. A competitive activity for small and large groups including beer tasting in the Bokrijk brewery.

• In Limburg there are 7 former mining sites which have been converted into hubs for culture, creativity, and conferencing. At these mining sites, you can organize activities such as a virtual mine expedition, deep diving, creative workshops, teambuilding activities, etc.

• Discover Hasselt by foot and make a jenever stop at the Jenever museum, take a bite from their famous ‘speculaas’ and make sure you visit the recently opened Z33 museum.

BILZEN MYSTERIES has a new and unique additional attraction. As well as the evening sound and light spectacle ‘Bilzen Mysteries, The Story’, you can now explore the historic site during the day in a playful and exciting way. The Conspiracy is a fascinating, interactive quest for young and old alike, full of puzzles, clues, and assignments.

 Click here for Virtual site visits

Armed with a tablet and a detective’s mindset you will gradually unravel the answer to a mystery. Thanks to two formulas, the game can be played by all the family or only by adults.

A game where the forging of partnerships will be necessary to have enough information at the end of the game to be one step ahead of that traitor, to put them out of action as much as possible, to eventually expose them!

The specialists in our local tourism offices can send you a lot more information about group activities in their city and the surrounding area.

OVERVIEUW OF OUR MEETING/EVENT PARTNERS

CLICK HERE FOR VIRTUAL SITE VISITS A significant part of any good event is choosing the right venue. Typically, you would walk the venue to get a sense of its size, unique features, and overall charm. That is what gives you the reassurance that it is capable of meeting the needs before completing the booking.

A virtual site visit allows you to stay within the comfort of your home or office while being able to explore the venue online.

We asked some of our partners to give a personal tour through their location.

Click on the links to meet them and their locations in person. A second visit can hopefully be arranged in real life again.

The Landcommandery Considered to be among one of the biggest castle domains in Belgium and the Netherlands, Alden Biesen offers a magnificent setting for your next multi-day event. With 3500 square meters of meeting space, including multiple plenary meeting spaces for 100-350 people, and a wide range of breakout rooms, the Grand Commandery can cater to all of your meeting needs.

The impressive site, recently awarded a ‘Flanders Heritage Venue’ label, is illustrative to the important economic, religious and socio-cultural role the site played in the region. Over the past centuries the Commandery grew into an astonishing castle estate. Since its origins in 1220, Alden Biesen evolved to become a magnificent cultural heritage site. Today, the castle and its surrounding buildings form the heart of an

extensive green domain where conferencing guests can enjoy the heritage experience that is evident throughout the site.

It goes without saying that, during these challenging COVID-19 times, we have taken all necessary precautions to guarantee social distancing and health safety of our visitors and staff and are ready to welcome you. Please contact us for more information.

Nowadays, it is a gorgeous open space that looks out across the various historical elements from the site’s mining past.
