Assignment and realization hand in hand in Hardenberg

The Infra Relatiedagen have been the meeting place for the entire GWW sector for over 25 years. Also for the upcoming edition on February 10, 11 and 12, 2026, the eight halls of Evenementenhal Hardenberg are already almost sold out. For three days thousands of professionals will meet: from executives to project managers and clients. How will this year's program be designed for these diverse target groups?

“It's great that we attract such a diverse audience. That makes cooperation in the sector possible,” says Eline Kuijsters, Marketing Event Manager at organizer Easyfairs. “The professionals on the shop floor often have different insights than the clients. Especially now that the sector is facing major challenges, it is important that these parties continue to meet each other.”

Customized program
Infra Relatiedagen 2026 will have a renewed format. Kuijsters: “Visitors are all looking for knowledge, but each from a different phase of the project. That's why we make sure there's something for everyone: from maintenance issues for governments to new construction projects for contractors. With our new initiatives, we approach current topics from multiple angles.”

Deepening the Infra Theater
One such innovation is the Infra Theater, alongside the also-new Machine Festival. “Two very different parts, but together they show that we are there for the whole sector,” Kuijsters said. The Infra Theater offers ongoing sessions on topics such as maintenance and sustainability, provided by knowledge partners. “We wanted to make knowledge sharing more accessible: visitors can easily join inspiring presentations.”

Machine Festival: equipment central
In addition to knowledge and services, there is also a focus on the equipment that makes the projects possible. “Without excavators, rollers and wheel loaders there is no infrastructure,” says Kuijsters. “That's why the equipment and everyone involved in the execution will have their own place in Hall 7.” During the Machine Festival, innovations, safety and healthy working are the focus. “This is how we share knowledge with a practical target group, in an accessible way.” Infra Relatiedagen 2026 will take place at Feb. 10, 11 and 12, 2026 from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Evenementenhal Hardenberg.
