VisitGent

Ghent Convention Bureau (GentCongres) is the official convention bureau of the city of Ghent, supporting organisers who are planning conferences and other business events in the city. Its professional advice and practical guidance are offered free of charge, from the early search for a suitable location through to event promotion. The team can assist with the bidding process, arrange site visits and help coordinate conference organisation.

Organisers can use the venue search service and connect with local providers across a broad range of needs, including meeting and event venues, accommodation, food and drink, logistics, professional congress organisers, agencies, guides and experiences on the water. Support is also available for social programmes and other services that help make an event successful.

GhentCongres presents Ghent as a conference destination where historic venues and cultural attractions sit alongside universities, research centres, restaurants and hotels within walking distance. The bureau highlights the city’s sustainability, safety and accessibility from Brussels Airport, and helps event planners explore what Ghent can offer for conferences, meetings and related gatherings.
