Haacht, November 24, 2022 - The champagne corks are popping at Sylvester these days. A few days after the event agency was named SME of the year Flemish Brabant & Brussels, they won a prestigious Golden BEA Award during the presentation of the BEA Awards. The victory gets even more shine because it is the second year in a row that Sylvester has won this coveted prize.

“Winning an award in one week for our business approach, and a second for our core activities, is a huge recognition for all the sustained effort and drive of our team.” said a proud CEO Geert Vanoverschelde.


The BEA Awards reward the best event projects every year. In front of an audience of 1,000 professionals from the B2B events sector, Sylvester was declared the winner by the jury in the category “Best Institutional Event” for the Reopening of the Antwerp City Hall at Avenue by Antwerp Expo.

On the warmest June 18 since the measurements in Uccle, the event agency organized an unforgettable and colorful folk festival that will be remembered for a long time by the 25,000 attendees and the more than 250,000 viewers who followed everything live on the regional channel ATV. From 2 pm until after midnight, all kinds of acts, surprising animations and lots of music add the necessary luster to the reopening of the thoroughly renovated Antwerp Town Hall. Unique and challenging was that Sylvester deliberately chose not to work with a stage, but that the Town Hall itself was used as the backdrop for the event. The Reopening was a grand and connecting party for young and old, with the highlights being a spectacular light show, an emotional inauguration moment and a fantastic sing-along musical from the windows and balconies of the City Hall.


Sylvester has been a fixture in the event, video and TV world for many years. In the midst of the corona crisis, an extremely turbulent period for the events sector, the company managed to grow from 20 to 40 employees. This was partly due to the development of its own virtual event venue platform 'MEEPLE'. Internal research, strategic analysis and the creative cross-fertilization between their TV, video and event team ensure that Sylvester is a leader in organizing quality physical, online and hybrid events and that the company perfectly understands the new needs of customers and what trends prevail within the hybrid post-corona communication world.


For the employees of Sylvester - which was also nominated with their merger event of Port of Antwerp Bruges in the Business to Enterprise category - this second Golden BEA Award is an extra incentive to continue on the chosen path.
