ICC.gent – We close to grow

In the autumn of 2028, ICC.gent will open a new chapter in the vibrant heart of Ghent. What is being created here is more than a renovated convention center. It will be a future-oriented meeting place where innovation, sustainability, and accessibility converge, with deep respect for the rich heritage that makes this location so special.

Our promise, “We close to grow,” explains exactly why we have embarked on this transformation. By temporarily closing our doors today, we are creating the space to reopen tomorrow stronger, smarter, and more sustainable. It is a conscious choice to invest in a place that not only grows with the world but also helps it move forward. For everyone who knows and values ICC.gent, we are building a future that inspires.

With this e-book, we take you behind the scenes of our renewal. You will discover our vision, see how modern comfort and historical character reinforce each other, and how sustainability forms the common thread in every decision. At the same time, we invite you to become part of this story. As a visitor, organizer, local resident, or partner, you will have the opportunity to contribute your ideas, experience the journey, and grow with us.

ICC.gent will be more than a convention center. It will be a vibrant hub where ideas take root, people connect, and new possibilities emerge. A place that strengthens Ghent and welcomes everyone who wants to move forward.

Welcome to our transition.
A story of daring to close, in order to reopen stronger.
