The not-for-profit organisation Brussels Major Events was created in March 2012 to organise and manage the content of large-scale events for the city of Brussels. The social aims of the organisation are to make an active contribution to the development, promotion and cultural success of the city of Brussels on both a national and an international level, by taking into account urban, tourist, social and economic needs in all its activities. Brussels Major Events describes itself as a professional not-for-profit organisation, determined, motivated and continuously developing, and it promotes these values in its team and through the various events it offers.
