Flanders Expo, Convention and entertainment center in Sint-Denijs-Westrem, Ghent, Belgium

Flanders Expo is a large exhibition and event center composed of multiple interconnected halls that accommodate various types of gatherings. The facility provides modern spaces where trade shows, concerts, sporting events, and other functions can take place simultaneously.

Flanders Expo grew out of two successful editions of Flanders Technology International in 1983 and 1985, which showed Ghent needed a modern trade-fair complex. The NV Flanders Expo was founded in 1985, with capital one third from government and two thirds from industry, and the halls were built on the grounds of the recently closed Sint-Denijs-Westrem airfield. They opened officially in May 1987 with the third Flanders Technology. Marc Mortier led the complex from 1986 to 2002.

Flanders Expo hosts I Love Techno each autumn, Europe's largest indoor techno festival, which drew 60,000 visitors in a single evening. The halls also held the Gentse Floraliën flower show for a period, and the BILT Gent construction fair, formerly the BIS fair, is held here. The name comes from Flanders Technology International, the trade fair that opened the complex in May 1987.

The center is accessible by public transportation and has ample parking available for visitors. It is advisable to check opening hours and access requirements in advance depending on the scheduled event.

Flanders Expo stands on the grounds of the former Sint-Denijs-Westrem airfield, which had just closed when the complex was built. The site was chosen after the 1983 and 1985 editions of Flanders Technology International showed Ghent needed a modern trade-fair complex. The NV Flanders Expo was founded in 1985, with one third of the capital from government and two thirds from industry.
