Flanders Expo contains eight halls. The central hall, Hall 1, is the largest, and offers a surface area of 19,152 m². To the left of this central hall are Halls 2, 4 and 6, and to the right, 3, 5 and 7. These identical halls all offer 4032 m² of surface area. Later Hall 8 was added, this is a square hall with a surface area of 10,735 m² and a height of 18 meters. This height and special interventions to improve acoustics make this hall suitable for mega-productions and musical events. In the front building there are rooms for seminars, conferences and receptions. On the second floor there is a large hall of 850m², the Forum.

The initiative to build Flanders Expo came after two successful editions of Flanders Technology International in 1983 and 1985, when it became clear that Ghent needed a modern exhibition complex. In 1985 the NV Flanders Expo was founded. The capital was provided by the government (one third) and industry (two thirds). The exhibition complex was built on the grounds of the recently closed Sint-Denijs-Westrem airfield. In May 1987, with the third edition of Flanders Technology, the exhibition halls were officially opened.

It was Marc Mortier who was in charge of the Ghent exhibition halls from their inception in 1986 as general manager/delegate. After a turbulent period of interim management, John Buyckx was appointed managing director in 2003. Since February 2009 John Buyckx is no longer Managing Director of Flanders Expo; this after a difference in vision with the owner, Artexis. Dirk Van Roy (ex-Roularta Media Group) has taken over Buyckx’ task at Flanders Expo. Early January 2021 Van Roy was recruited by Artexis to lead Artexis Belgium.
