Why Ghent?
The perfect city to organise your association conference.
There’s no better place to acquire and share knowledge than Ghent.
Belgium’s conference hotspot excels, both on a national and on an international level, in sectors ranging from art to agro, food, technology and biotech. Ghent is home to various educational institutions, research centres and knowledge clusters and is simply a nice place to organise a conference: hospitable, charming, historical, sustainable and innovative. In short, a city on a human scale.
Few places combine history so effortlessly with innovation, authenticity with practicality, pleasure with business. A wide range of venues – from small, cosy venues to multi-hall event locations – welcome you to host your conference. Its abundance of catering, bars and restaurants fulfils any hunger, and its rich cultural heritage and calendar make Ghent, by day and night, so much more than just a meeting place.
