Once again, AET and the City of Antwerp will be jointly hosting a Civic Reception at the historic venue of Het Steen. Het Steen is a medieval fortress and boasts the accolade of being the oldest building in the city. Sitting on the bank of the river Scheldt next to the city’s busy cruise terminals, it now houses an exhibition on the history of Antwerp. 

Address: Cruise Terminal Het Steen. Steenplein 1, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium

Join us on a repeat of the fantastic 5km jogging loop we ran last year around Antwerp. Ideal for those wanting to get out and see a bit more of the City but don't have the time to dedicate longer to sightseeing. The run takes in the old and new sights and is a great place to meet old and new friends. 

Please note that this is a peer-led event where the organisers have no official qualifications but enjoy the company of others whilst running. Participation in this event is at the participants own risk.

Duration: 40-50mins

Following on from the success of last year, Horta has again been selected to host the ever-popular Thursday evening Conference Dinner. Opened in 2000 in the bustling heart of Antwerp, Horta consists of a modern Grand Café and an awe-inspiring Art Nouveau Hall, decorated with iron trusses by renowned Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta. Both soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are available during the dinner. Please ensure you email sabrina.winter@aetransport.org in advance to order a vegetarian, vegan or special meal pertaining to dietary restrictions.
