Take a fresh look at what the Flanders region of Belgium can offer you and your delegates. Join us in Leuven – a city where heritage meets innovation, and where world-leading knowledge, hospitality, and sustainability combine to deliver truly meaningful events.

Just 15 minutes from Brussels Airport, Leuven is a compact, walkable, and vibrant university city that’s fast becoming one of Europe’s most forward-thinking destinations for international association conferences.

Leuven is home to cutting-edge institutions and research-driven initiatives – from biotech spin-offs to digital health centres like IMEC. We’ll show you how these ecosystems can be integrated into your events through local partnerships, speakers, site visits, and shared purpose.

As part of your visit, you’ll be invited to our Flanders’ Legacy Makers event on Thursday evening – a thought-provoking gathering of the region’s network of experts, academics, innovators, and civic leaders. A keynote session will be followed by a networking reception, giving you the chance to connect with people committed to creating real-world impacts through conferences​.

As well as weaving in the rich heritage of the university and dedicated exhibitions for the 600th anniversary of KU Leuven​, you’ll discover Leuven’s diverse options for hosting international association events - from heritage venues to modern convention spaces, including new and upcoming developments and openings. Plus, you'll be able to soak in the festive atmosphere of the city's famous Christmas Market, all while getting to know the people and places that can come together to host your future events.
