For more than 25 years, the Infra Relatiedagen have been known as the meeting place for the entire GWW sector. For the upcoming edition on February 10, 11 and 12, 2026, the eight halls of Evenementenhal Hardenberg are already almost sold out. In three days, thousands of professionals from the sector will fill the aisles, from practical implementers to strategic project managers. How will the program be designed for these diverse target groups this edition?
“It's great that we attract such a diverse audience at the event, which makes collaboration in the sector possible,” said Eline Kuijsters, Marketing Event Manager at organizer Easyfairs. “The professionals on the project often have very different ideas and knowledge than the clients. With the challenges currently facing the sector, it's even more important that these parties continue to meet.”

Infra Relatiedagen 2026 is staging the program differently this edition than previous years. Kuijsters: “The visitors to Infra Relatiedagen are all looking for knowledge, but for different phases of a project. That is why we are setting up the program for this coming edition in such a way that there is something for everyone. Whether you work for the government and have a maintenance question or whether you have a number of new construction projects in the pipeline as a contractor. We try to approach current topics through different angles with our new initiatives.”

One such new initiative is the Infra Theater, alongside the also-new Machine Festival. “Two very different parts of the program, with which we want to show that we are there for the whole sector,” Kuijsters said. The Infra Theater is a completely new way of sharing knowledge at the event. Kuijsters: “In recent years we have organized symposia that took place alongside the exhibition floor, but we thought it was time for ongoing knowledge sharing on major topics such as maintenance and sustainability. The Infra Theater makes it easier for anyone who needs depth to join sessions. There are also several sessions from knowledge partners every day that are free to attend.”

At Infra Relatiedagen you will not only find useful services and innovative solutions, but also the large equipment that ultimately makes the projects possible. Kuijsters: “The realization of a project ultimately involves the equipment, which is why we are paying extra attention to this edition. Without excavators, rollers and wheel loaders, for example, that expansion of a freeway or new bridge would not happen. With the Machine Festival, which mainly takes place in Hall 7, the equipment and everyone involved in the realization of infrastructure projects will have their own home. “Here we present the latest innovations, but also developments in the field of safety and healthy working. In this way we want to share knowledge in an accessible way with a very practical target group,” Kuijsters concludes.
