Summit venue

The Living Wage Summit will be hosted Maison de la Poste.

Maison de la Poste is one of the main event venues at Tour & Taxis, one of Brussels’ most interesting historical sites brought back to life as a major project for sustainable urbanisation in the city centre. The huge multi-purpose pedestrian area is designed for the future, but with the charm of the past – a heritage to be claimed by many future generations.

The venue Maison de la Poste was constructed in 1904 to serve as the administration centre for Tour & Taxis during its ‘heyday’ as Europe’s largest shipping hub. Its architecture is a testament to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles and to the craftsmanship of the Industrial era.

In 2019, the site was completely renovated, and metamorphosed into one of Brussels’ most inspiring conference and events centres. For further information about Maison de la Poste and Tours & Taxis, please visit this link.

Address: Rue Picard 5/7 – 1000 Brussels, Belgium.
