Bruges, December 4, 2024 – During the Belgian Event Awards (BEA), Sylvester received no fewer than one gold award and one silver award.

Gold went to Telenet's ONSTAGE staff party in the Business-to-Employee category. ONSTAGE brought a fresh perspective on the classic staff party, by literally bringing Telenet's backstage on stage and celebrating their employees after a challenging year.

The FTI Slotfestival in collaboration with CityCubes took home silver in the category Institutional Events. The Slotfestival, which took place in the Sportpaleis, aimed to bring technology and innovation to a broad audience in a digestible way. Sylvester and CityCubes together created a unique atmosphere of connection and energy, with a strong focus on interaction and involvement for young and old.

“These BEAs are yet another recognition of our drive and expertise to realize impactful connecting events,” says CEO Geert Vanoverschelde proudly. “It proves once again that focusing on experience and innovation with events and video really works. It contributes to the well-being of employees, to strengthening relationships, to creating an unforgettable collective momentum.”

Congratulations to all the other winners too – Belgium clearly has a very strong events sector.
