Leuven welcomes your conference
Your premier destination for health, high-tech and creativity
Leuven is a centuries-old city which has remained young at heart. It is home to KU Leuven, one of Europe’s oldest and most innovative universities. This makes Leuven a place of knowledge from where high-tech companies, established in the lap of this great university, conquer the world.
Leuven is also the beer capital of the world. It is the birthplace of the world-famous Stella Artois beer and home to the headquarters of AB InBev, the world’s largest brewer. Giving your delegates a taste of Belgian beer is also a great way of introducing them to UNESCO cultural heritage, as our beer has been recognised as intangible world heritage.
Speaking about heritage. Leuven has unique venues in historical surroundings and provides the perfect setting for your conference. Your delegates can stay in one of the many modern or more historical hotels in the city. In short, Leuven has everything you need to make your conference a real success.
