AUDIO-VISUAL DEVICES AND EQUIPMENT
INTERNET
NBC is the place to business. Hence, we always provide the most
innovating devices and best products available. Beside the fact that
all our meeting rooms are equipped with comfortable furnishings, our
conference rooms are on top of that accommodated with a
professional projector and screen facilities. Both the Grand Hall and
the Event Hall have the latest LED lighting and audio-visual means
which you can use. We gladly inform you about the rental options
and the appropriate prices.
The NBC Congrescentrum has three separate glass fibre
connectoins, 2 of 100 MB each and 1 of 10 MB. Consequently
you always have access to super fast internet. With these glass
fibre connections you have several possibilities to gain internet
access.
1. You can choose our free wireless internet facilities
2. You can choose your own wireless network. For this we charge an
one-off-surcharge

Specific wishes regarding networks access with special configurations
can easily be carried out by us. Preceding the event, our IT-partner
can join us to draw up an inventory of your needs and will come up
with a suitable solution. The setting up and helping out of your wants
is done on the spot during your event. These options are not included
in our ‘standard facilities’ and therefore will be offered as an item in
our proposal. Evidently, we accomplished the most complex facilities
for companies such as Microsoft, HP, Intrex and SAS.

With great pleasure we present you our Food Beverage offerings.
The food choice listed in this information brochure reflects our vision
with regard to food in all its simplicity, complexity and compositions.
Ultimately, the seasons determine the selection and composition of the
dishes. The supply and availability of ingredients combined with our
explicit wish to stimulate sustainable corporate responsibilities, can
result in exchanging dishes and ingredients with each other. It goes
without saying that this does not lead to making any concessions as
far as the quality and taste of our food is concerned.
Modern terminologies as CSR, organic, ecological, fair trade, MSC,
Rain Forest Alliance and waste control are the pillars for the
composition of the many dishes we serve. Apart from these
ingredients more is still done to optimise the well-being of your guests.
A motivated professional team is at your service which will pull out all
the stops to achieve your total satisfaction and your clients.
