Venue information
Ghent in Belgium is “Europe’s best kept secret” with its “Authentic” inhabitants: multilingual, open “quirky” locals with a long tradition of hospitality. Some say the city’s size – big enough to be a city, small enough to be a village – is what makes it so unique.
Throughout Ghent’s history, medical sciences have always been closely connected to the city. This presence can still be felt today with conference venues which used to be hospitals (like Het Pand) and today’s Ghent University Hospital.
Nightlife is a mix of fabulous cafés, bars, restaurants and cultural offerings. Famous for its beers, artisanal chocolatiers, its excellent cuisine (with over 500 restaurants), abundance of pubs (over 600).
