When we met at the beginning of this year at Infra Relatiedagen in Evenementenhal Hardenberg, we could not have predicted what the world looks like now. Hopefully it is going well for you! We are again looking forward with great confidence, supported among other things by the further relaxations from the government.
We also see confidence among both visitors and exhibitors of Infra Relatiedagen. Our most recent visitor survey (June 2020) shows that 95.8% of visitors are positive and intend to visit a safe, successful edition. We also notice a huge commitment from exhibitors, they do not want to be absent at Infra Relatiedagen in 2021. For example, Heijmans states: "Infra Relatiedagen is a fine way to receive our clients from municipalities, provinces and water boards in a pleasant and informal way and to spar with them about developments in the market."
Above you can see the floor plan of Infra Relatiedagen 2021. We are very proud to announce that the floor plan is already sold out for over 70%. With names such as Hans van Driel, KWS Infra, Heijmans Infra, Provincie Overijssel, Wavin Nederland, Tobroco, Quattro Expertise, BAM Infra, Aannemingsmaatschappij van Gelder, Kijlstra and Strukton Civiel this brings the total to no less than 245 exhibitors. For the complete list of participants so far, please refer to www.infrarelatiedagen.nl.
For 22 years, Infra Relatiedagen has offered the opportunity to meet over 16,000 professionals from the ground, road and hydraulic engineering sector. We find that especially the relaxed atmosphere, made possible by our full-service formula, is one of the great success factors. It is one of the scarce moments for a GWW-er in the public sector to have a beer or a bite to eat with relations in a relaxed way. Both visitors and exhibitors really come for this relaxed atmosphere. We read this frequently in our visitor and exhibitor surveys. Exhibiting in an approachable, hospitable environment, networking while enjoying a bite to eat and a drink, that is only possible at Infra Relatiedagen.
In addition, exhibitors meet both end decision makers and also end users of new equipment and machinery, for example, at Infra Relatiedagen. Truly a great time for exhibitors to gather face-to-face feedback on the latest equipment. Thus, the platform provides all the facilities to boost the industry professional's network.
Have you already seen the #werkenindeinfra campaign? A campaign we have launched for and by the infrastructure sector, with the aim of positively highlighting the sector as an employer. The campaign started several months ago with a short mood video made in collaboration with our exhibitors to put the infrasector in the spotlight as an employer. By now, hopefully you have seen more great videos and photos come by. We have been inundated with fantastic submissions. These many responses do indicate how unique the sector is; the commitment, the will to do everything together and the sector that grants each other something. All the more the sector deserves this warm greeting!
It is still possible to make your submission. We challenge everyone to join us in expanding this action even further! Contribute in this way and show how much fun working in the infrastructure is, because that should be seen, perhaps now more than ever. Will you help us?
