Best Trade Shows in Belgium

112 tracked shows, ranked by exhibitor count

Belgium is a compact, trade-intensive economy whose central location and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges make it a major European logistics gateway. Chemicals and pharmaceuticals lead its exports, and Antwerp is the world's foremost centre for rough and polished diamond trading. Brussels is the main fair city: Brussels Expo, the country's largest exhibition centre at roughly 115,000 square metres, hosts Batibouw — Belgium's largest construction and renovation fair — and the contemporary-art fair Art Brussels. Regional venues include Flanders Expo in Ghent and Kortrijk Xpo, the latter known for specialist industrial and food-technology shows.

The Event Scout catalog currently lists 112 trade shows in Belgium with editions in 2026 & 2027. Together they host an estimated 15,757 exhibitors, led by MATEXPO (an estimated 1,052 exhibitors). Sizeable exhibitor lists are already indexed for 57 of them — MATEXPO (1,052 companies), Velofollies (704), Bedankt voor uw bezoek aan AutoTechnica 2026 (653). Events run across 24 cities including Brussels, Gent and Antwerp. The tracked calendar opens with Brafa Art Fair (25 Apr – 4 Oct 2026).
