Visit the greenest projects at the heart of Europe: Brussels
After having been postponed two times EILO will finally visit what might be the most European city: Brussels. After two years of visiting very big cities, we will now go back to a more human scale. We’re able to visit all projects by bus and can offer you a hotel that will truly give you a SPA feeling: close to the heart of the city, but in the middle of the Sonian forest, an UNESCO World Heritage site.
The programme for our annual excursion on September 29 – 30 is still under construction but we can already reveal that on Thursday we will have some very inspiring speakers and Friday is packed with visits to stunning green projects. So it is advisable to book your stay from Wednesday evening up until Saturday morning. Among others we will:
- hear about the latest research on greenery and human wellbeing
- be inspired with trends in marketing, circularity and upcycling
- get a presentation on a succesful collaboration of an interior landscaper and an interior architect
- visit a a stunning botanical garden and greenhouse, a former freight station – turned sustainable urban jungle and a 30 year old indoor garden
- have lunch and dinner at some pretty special places
