On the day of the event, a shuttle service will be provided for all participants between Gare du Midi and The EGG. The meeting point for the shuttle is Rue de l'Instruction 156, and will be marked with EIT flags on the spot. The service will be active from 8:45 to 10:15 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

From Trône, you can directly enter the metro and take line 2 (in the direction of ‘Simonis’) or 6 (in the direction of ‘Roi Baudouin’).
