This year's DealMaker Europe will be taking place at The Brewery, in the heart of London. The Brewery occupies the site of the former Whitbread brewery which shut its doors in 1976, leaving behind a premier event venue with historic roots.

Travelling to the Brewery by public transport is quick and easy. The venue is close to Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Barbican stations, and served by at least 10 bus routes. There are no car parking facilities on site at The Brewery. The nearest public NCP car park can be found at The Barbican.
