De Vooruit houses four beautiful halls, a foyer and eight smaller rooms, all fully equipped with the necessary multimedia technologies and wireless internet. Each room offers unique opportunities for conferences, seminars and other business events.
The Balzaal (Ballroom) is the perfect backdrop for stylish receptions or dinners in an elegant setting. In turn, the Domzaal (Cathedral Hall), with its impressive high ceiling, is ideal for inspiring keynote speeches or panel discussions. The Concertzaal (Concert Hall), with a capacity of up to 600 people, provides an imposing space for large-scale conferences. The Foyer Theaterzaal (Foyer Theatre Room), overlooking the water, is an attractive venue for networking receptions, dinners or meetings and provides access to the terrace when the weather is favourable. The Theaterzaal, with its period features and theatre seating design, is the ideal setting for presentations and conferences.
It is also worth noting that De Vooruit offers several smaller meeting rooms that can be booked by mutual agreement.
With a combination of historic charm and modern facilities, De Vooruit offers an inspiring setting for any professional event.
Planning a major conference? The rooms of De Vooruit can be perfectly combined with those of De Krook and Het Wintercircus, both located close to the venue.ring

VIERNULVIER offers different catering arrangements for your conference, provided by external caterers. On the other hand, the indoor VIERNULVIER Café, with its beautiful terrace, is the place to go for a well-deserved coffee break or drink after your conference. The café serves dishes prepared entirely according to the LEF principle: Local, Ecological and Fair trade.
