Flanders Expo

Flanders Expo offers a total covered area of 54,000 m2 and is thus the 40th largest exhibition complex in the world and the second largest in Belgium. With its exceptional location and immense car parks it can cope with tens of thousands of visitors simultaneously. The complex consists of eight halls. Hall 1, the largest hall lies in the middle. On the east and west sides there are 3 identical smaller side halls (halls 2, 4, 6 and halls 3, 5, 7). Hall 8 is a later addition and is extremely well suited to sporting events, mega concerts and all sorts of happenings because of its exceptional dimensions. Due to a unique building technique all eight halls are free of supporting columns. There is an absolutely clear unimpeded view everywhere and all the floor space can be used flexibly. All the halls are linked. Halls 1, 2, 3 and 8 have a separate cloakroom and their infrastructure offers independent access so that different events can take place at the same time. Hall 1 has a large restaurant. Halls 4 and 5 have a bistro. In front of the halls lies the stylish front building. Visitors pass through an elegant garden with fountains before entering the building. The modular seminar rooms and a welcoming reception room lie on the ground floor. On the first floor the Forum extends over an area of 850 m². This magnificent room stands below the impressive glass dome that is the symbol of Flanders Expo. If you decide to use only the Forum your visitors enter directly via the main entrance.
