Can Chez Clément host a product launch?

A product launch usually wants two things from a venue: enough scale to host the invited audience comfortably, and a distinctive setting that gives the brand a memorable backdrop. Brasserie Chez Clément delivers both. The standing cocktail capacity reaches 250 guests, which already covers most launch formats; the seated dinner option (up to 230 guests) suits a more intimate, journalist- or partner-led format; and the building itself, an 1858 brasserie at Genval / La Hulpe, with the emblematic conservatory at its heart, provides a more characterful backdrop than a generic event hall.

The location matters for a launch too. The brasserie sits twenty-five minutes from central Brussels (Ring R0), fifteen to eighteen minutes from south-east Brussels, twelve to fifteen minutes from Wavre, Louvain-la-Neuve and Waterloo, and thirty minutes from Brussels Airport. That position is ergonomic for a Belgian audience and tolerable for international guests staying near the airport. The large free car park ten metres from the door removes the urban friction guests typically associate with event evenings.

Several configurations are possible. A pure cocktail format uses the full venue (or a privatised area) for circulation, with food stations and waiter-passed plates from chef Vincent Frédéric De Laloy's thirty-two-person brigade. A seated dinner uses the main dining room and/or the conservatory. A hybrid format (cocktail first, seated dinner for a tighter circle) uses the conservatory as the inner sanctum and the main room as the wider reception.
