Visit Bruges Convention Bureau
Your next conference in Bruges?
In the heart of Europe, in burgundy Flanders, lies a charming, compact city on a human scale and yet with so much grandeur. The typical Bruges canals have connected the city to the sea for centuries. The city centre with winding medieval streets is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and exudes history. A city of counts and dukes, Flemish primitives and visionary urban renewal. Heritage and innovation embrace each other. Flanders Heritage Venues, state-of-the art congress centres, international knowledge institutions and expertise in mechatronics, ICT, healthcare, the port, tourism & culture, gastronomy and cycling offer countless opportunities for collaboration.
Bruges is easily and quickly accessible by train. Once arrived, all venues, hotels and sights are within walking distance of each other. A walk before your conference starts or relaxing with a drink on a terrace afterwards, enjoyment is never far away.
Did you know that satisfied conference organisers give our city a score of no less than 9.5/10? Conference participants also appreciate Bruges as a conference destination, with a high overall satisfaction rating of 8.9/10. Read all about it in this blog article.

As a conference city, Bruges focuses on association conferences in specific growth sectors: port and logistics with the link to the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, tourism and culture, healthcare from the presence of the AZ Sint-Jan and AZ Sint-Lucas hospitals, the ICT sector and the world of mechanical engineering and mechatronics, gastronomy and cycling.
