Venue and spaces
- What is SILO Brussels?

The venue offers 9 distinct spaces under one roof, including the 1,321 m² Meudon main hall, the 660 m² Navy's hall, a 750 m² panoramic rooftop terrace, four broadcast-ready Workshop Areas and several smaller meeting and breakout rooms.

- SILO Brussels can host events from 20 people up to 4,000+ across its 9 spaces. The main hall (Meudon, 1,321 m²) holds up to 1,000 guests in cocktail format, 800 in conference, dinner or theatre setup. Navy's (660 m²) holds 800 cocktail or 500 theatre. The Panoramic Rooftop (750 m²) holds 1,000 cocktail. Combined, the venue regularly hosts large-scale conferences with several thousand delegates — Modular Summit 3.0 in July 2024 hosted 4,000 delegates over three days.

- What is the largest event space at SILO Brussels?
- The largest single event space at SILO Brussels is Meudon — a 1,321 m² industrial main hall with soaring ceilings, designed to host conferences, exhibitions, gala dinners, product launches and themed parties of up to 1,000 guests. It is the venue's flagship space and can run in parallel with the 660 m² Navy's hall for events at multi-thousand scale.
- Does SILO Brussels have a rooftop?
- Yes. SILO Brussels has a 750 m² Panoramic Rooftop — an open-air terrace with views over the Brussels Canal and the city skyline. The rooftop holds up to 1,000 guests in cocktail format and is regularly used for cocktail receptions, summer gala dinners, brand activations, sunset parties and as an open-air break zone during longer events.
Events we host
- What kind of events does SILO Brussels host?
- SILO Brussels hosts a wide range of corporate and creative events: conferences, B2B exhibitions and trade shows, product launches, car launches and EV exhibitions, gala dinners, themed corporate parties, brand activations, photoshoots, film and TV commercial shoots, music videos, fashion shows, cultural events and award ceremonies. Its multi-space layout, industrial-elegant character and broadcast-ready infrastructure make it suitable for events from 20 people up to 4,000+.
- Where can I host a conference for several thousand people in Brussels?
- SILO Brussels can host conferences for several thousand people. In July 2024 the venue hosted Modular Summit 3.0 — the largest blockchain conference ever held in Brussels — for 4,000 delegates and 115 speakers across three days, using Meudon and Navy's as twin main stages and the four Workshop Areas as satellite video studios. The venue's 9 spaces under one roof support multi-track conferences without spilling into satellite venues.
- Can SILO Brussels host car launches and EV exhibitions?
- Yes. SILO Brussels has direct vehicle access into its main industrial halls, with floor strength and access routes that support full-size cars being driven into the venue. In February 2025 the Belgian mobility group D'Ieteren ran a 10-day B2B mobility exhibition here for 900 fleet managers, with seven flagship brands — including Skoda, Volkswagen, Cupra and Microlino — displaying their full EV ranges. The venue also supports live test drives and indoor cycling routes.
- Can SILO Brussels be used for photoshoots and film productions?
- Yes. SILO Brussels is one of the most distinctive photoshoot and film locations in Brussels — a former industrial brewery with raw concrete, exposed brick, columns, soaring ceilings and large industrial windows, used directly as the set without needing built backdrops. The 1,321 m² Meudon hall is large enough to stage full-size cars, oversized furniture and full set builds. Brands including Maisons du Monde have shot brand campaigns here. The same characteristics support video shoots, TV commercials, music videos and brand films.
- Can SILO Brussels host themed corporate parties?
- Yes. SILO Brussels' combination of raw industrial brut — concrete, steel, exposed structure — with lighting flexibility for dramatic, glamorous staging makes it a natural fit for themed corporate events. The SAS entry space can be fully decorated as a themed arrival experience, and production crews can build staging, lighting and decor into the venue's industrial volumes without fighting the existing finish. The audit firm BDO held its themed corporate party here for 800 guests in January 2025.
- Can SILO Brussels host smaller corporate events as well as large conferences?
- Yes. SILO Brussels works as well for mid-sized events of 100–150 people as it does for conferences of several thousand. The venue's character, hospitality and multi-room flexibility scale down without losing the unique experience. In October 2024 Switzerland Cheese Marketing Benelux ran a full-day programme for 120 guests using four different SILO spaces — plenary in Meudon, breakouts in Navy's, hands-on workshop in the Atelier, and a gourmet dinner with a top chef in the second half of Meudon.
