Although many of us will miss the old location, we kindly inform you we have signed a contract with a new venue in Brussels. In May 2024, the CPDP team will welcome the community at the enigmatic Maison de la Poste and the Herman Teirlinck Building (located at the Tour & Taxis site close to the city center).
New CPDP Venue for May 2024: Maison de la Poste + Herman Teirlinck Building
Finding the new venue has been the reason we could not communicate the proposed dates for 2024 yet. We have taken into account all possible aspects (availability of venues, vacations and public holidays, etc) Wednesday 22, Thursday 23 and Friday 24th of May are the outcomes of this research. The selected days are in week 21, which is the same as the 2023 edition (guaranteeing stability for CPDP), and one day before GDPR Day.
The Maison de la Poste will house the stages formerly known as Grand Halle, La Cave, Area42 Petit, Area42 Midi, and the Media Vilage. The Herman Teirlinck building will house the stages formerly known as Area42 Grand and M-Village Grand. There won't be any noise from network spaces and no discord about the names of the different areas. There will be signs indicating the short distance between the two buildings.
Maison de la Poste
Each space has been designed in collaboration with renowned interior designers including Diego Fortuna, Fleur Rossdale, and Benedetti Interieur. The spaces will allow us to hold
Herman Teirlinck Building
The Herman Teirlinck building on the site of Tour & Taxis houses the Flemish Government. The meander shape creates a diverse building volume that integrates naturally with the urban blocks along the Havenlaan. All common functions for employees, such as the restaurant, reception rooms, auditoriums and exhibition space, are connected via a covered interior street. On the upper levels the office floors are situated around four green courtyards that contribute to a healthy and pleasant climate. This creates a clear building with an abundance of natural light. With a height of 60 meters, the project is a recognizable element of Brussels’ skyline. The Herman Teirlinck building is the largest detached passive office building of Belgium and meets the highest standards in terms of sustainability and energy performance: no less than 4 stars according to the ‘Valuation for office buildings’ by the Flemish government. Neutelings Riedijk Architects designed this office as a compact building with optimal daylight access and the most advanced installations for climate control and energy.
