NCN 2023

This year's gala of the JCI Belgium National Convention will take place in a slightly lesser known historical jewel of Brussels, but certainly not less exclusive or prestigious for that: Cercle Royal Gaulois.

The literary and artistic Cercle has been housed in these buildings in the “Warandepark” since the end of the 19th century. Most of them were built in 1820 as part of the entertainment complex called Vauxhall, a fitting illustration of the "Great History" of the city of Brussels. The beautifully decorated neoclassical halls are normally only open to members of the Cercle or for exceptional events, the NCN gala is an opportunity to be able to admire them!

Program Saturday evening, October 7 (subject to change):

• 18:00 - 18:45:  JCI Belgium Foundation reception (for Foundation members only)
• 18:45 - 19:30: Aperitif
• 19:30 - 22:30: Gala dinner (3 courses with adapted wines, water and coffee), Awardshow and Staines Memorial ceremony
• 22:30 - 03:00: Gala Ball

Those still there after 3pm will learn something about an after party...

The gala is included in every "Full Ticket", but there is also a limited number of "Saturday Gala Only" tickets.
