This former industrial site has not only been repurposed as an events venue, but is also home to various local businesses, creating a vibrant entrepreneurial environment in the process. Located on the outskirts of Ghent, the Eskimofabriek is easily accessible by car. What's more, the site is close to the port of Ghent

Available spaces 
The Eskimofabriek offers two multi-functional spaces, perfect for all types of conferences or meetings. The largest space, The 'Kleine Fabriek', has retained its authentic elements such as brick walls and cast iron fixtures, as a tangible reminder of the site's industrial past. The Cube, a compact and inspiring space, is ideal for meetings, brainstorming sessions and workshops.

The Eskimofabriek is more than an events venue. It is also a lively business village where businesses reinforce each other and innovation is all around, making it a vibrant setting for your conference.
