The Venue

The Brewery
52 Chiswell St
London EC1Y 4SA, UK

This year's DealMaker Europe will be returning to 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.

“…we left the event with nothing short of at least 10 hot client prospects and as a relatively new player to the affiliate industry, RevLifter achieved amazing brand awareness. We also enjoyed connecting with Rakuten employees at various seniority levels and from around the world. A job well done Rakuten and looking forward to future events!"
- Simon Bird, Co-Founder at RevLifter

"DealMaker Europe is a great place to meet up with publisher and advertiser prospects, as well as catching up with our Rakuten Advertising friends. We won business directly from attending the event last year so it was a no-brainer for us to be involved again! We're looking forward to it!"

- Drew Cameron, Sales Director, Hello Partner
