Best Trade Shows in Belgium

92 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 92 trade shows in Belgium with editions in 2026 & 2027. Together they host an estimated 12,393 exhibitors, led by MATEXPO (an estimated 1,053 exhibitors). Sizeable exhibitor lists are already indexed for 48 of them — MATEXPO (1,051 companies), Foire de Libramont (745), Velofollies (704). Events run across 20 cities including Brussels, Gent and Antwerp. The tracked calendar opens with KNOKKE ART FAIR (14–16 Aug 2026).
