Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp

A Room With a Zoo

“A room with a ZOO”, the Flanders Meeting and Convention Center Antwerp (FMCCA).

Location

Antwerp

Capacity

up to 1,800 pax

An unforgettable venue with wildlife at its heart

Nestled within the historic Antwerp Zoo, the Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp (FMCCA) offers over 25.000 m² of flexible meeting space, 30+ rooms, and capacity for up to 2.700 participants. All just a short walk from Antwerp Central Station. It blends architectural grandeur with cutting-edge event facilities to create an unparalleled conference experience.

Why FMCCA Stands Out

Unique ZOO setting
FMCCA is the only convention center in the world built within a zoo, offering completely immersive experiences: from breakout sessions near flamingos to dinners in the aquarium surrounded by sharks and tropical fish.
Iconic historical ambiance meets modern design
The venue seamlessly connects the Art Nouveau rich Historic Wing with the contemporary Carnot Wing and the acoustically acclaimed Queen Elisabeth Hall, home to symphonic concerts with nearly 2.000 seats.
Accessible location
Situated next to Antwerp Central Station and minutes from Brussels Airport, FMCCA enables effortless international access via high-speed trains and major airports.
Built-in sustainability
Operated by the ZOO Foundation, every euro spent at the center supports animal welfare, scientific research, and conservation, elevating your event’s societal impact.
