Dear TAPA members, colleagues, friends and guests,

Welcome to TAPA EMEA’s Q2 registration web pages, amongst which, you should find out all your need to know about our next conference, including how to register for the event.

Following on from our Q1 conference, which was held at the UN European HQ in Geneva, I am pleased to announce that our Q2 conference with be held on the 9th June, at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Brussels, in the heart of the EU.

Brussels is the capital of Belgium, and the administrative centre of the European Union. This has earned the city the title of the Capital of Europe. Brussels has been given its character by the coexistence of French and Flemish culture, and it is nowadays home to nationalities from around the world, adding a cosmopolitan flavour to its atmosphere. The vibrant atmosphere of Brussels is further enhanced by picturesque medieval streets, lively squares, beautiful boulevards, impressive monuments, spacious parks, cosy cafés, interesting restaurants and an active cultural life.

The theme of the conference will centre on secured parking, and also on the responses to protect cargo, in light of threats that arose last year with the attempted terrorist attacks using cargo as its medium.

The Hotel we have chosen, The Crown Plaza Le Palace, is located next to the botanical gardens, and close to the Brussels Midi train station, terminal of the Eurostar train and Thalys train. Please register as soon as possible using the registration pages on this site. Accommodation will be allocated on strictly first come first served basis, and as we are expecting a large number of delegates, please book as soon as possible

The conference will commence with registration on Wednesday 8th June, for those of you who have arrived. Registration will open again early on Thursday morning, and after the conference there will be a social event, where the famous TAPA Lottery will take place, so please be generous, if you have items to donate, please let Sara or Shan know on info@tapaemea.com.

I look forward to welcoming you all personally in Brussels, where I am sure you will have a worthwhile time and enjoy meeting old acquaintances, making new contacts and hearing from a diverse and interesting set of speakers.
