It is with great excitement that we announce the long-awaited return of Us by Night. This groundbreaking event, which brings together creativity and nightlife, is back for its much-anticipated fifth edition. After an involuntary break due to the pandemic, the spectacle will take place from 26 to 28 September 2024 at the Waagnatie in Antwerp.

Us by Night is not just another conference; it is a unique experience that combines inspiring keynotes with a vibrant night market. This event throws out the traditional conference format and creates a vibrant nighttime experience. Rizon Parein, the visionary force behind Us by Night, sums it up as follows

"Us by Night is a unique nightlife experience. It is the place where creativity and nightlife come together, a safe haven for artists where collaboration and inspiration flourish."

Rizon is no stranger to the creative industry. He has been running his own studio as a 3D designer for more than 20 years. You may know him from his neon poster for the cult film Drive starring American actor Ryan Gosling. Or his iconic global campaigns for Nike. After new adventures in California and working at Meta (the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp), Parein is back in Belgium to breathe new life into Us by Night.

Antwerp as a creative hotspot

Us by Night is not only a global phenomenon, but also a crucial event for Belgium and specifically for the city of Antwerp. The event puts the city back in the spotlight as an epicentre of creativity and innovation. Both Belgian and international talents are given a platform here to present their work.

60 speakers and live artists & 3,500 visitors from almost 50 countries
Us by Night is a true melting pot of ideas and creativity. It offers a unique opportunity to network with key industry figures, making it an indispensable experience for anyone involved in creative disciplines.
