How do I get there from here?

By car

The Elewijt Center is located in Zemst, to the south of Mechelen, near the E-19 highway between Brussels and Antwerp. From the highway exit, it's about 1km to the conference center. See the map for more information.

The Center has plenty of parking space next to the building.

Note for people who drive from The Netherlands: when coming from Breda or Eindhoven, you take the Ring around Antwerp and then follow the directions for Brussel/Mechelen E19. There are roadworks ongoing on the Ring around Antwerp. Local traffic is not allowed on the Ring, only through-going traffic, including to and from The Netherlands.
