Free registration for Festivak '26 Netherlands is now open!

Free registration for Festivak Netherlands is now open. More than 6,000 event professionals will gather on Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 November for the biggest edition of Festivak Netherlands ever, at the Brabanthallen 's-Hertogenbosch.


The events industry is facing major challenges. Costs are rising, safety is demanding more and more attention, and visitor expectations continue to grow. In this changing landscape, it is important to connect with one another, share experiences and see how other organisers and suppliers are responding to these developments.


Festivak is where the industry comes together to catch up, learn from one another and discover new solutions. Over two days, discover everything you need for your next event on one exhibition floor. From technology, stages, marquees, lighting & sound and catering to entertainment, furnishings, safety and logistics. More than 375 suppliers and partners will show what is possible for your next event on the exhibition floor. 



Everything under one roof

At Festivak, the entire supply chain is represented side by side. Discover new suppliers, compare solutions and find inspiration for future productions. Festivak is not a trade show where you just come to look. See concepts as they will appear at an event, try products for yourself and experience entertainment and activations live.


A ride on a Ferris wheel at a trade show? It could happen at Festivak. That is precisely what makes the show different: suppliers go all out and do not just show you what they do, they let you experience it.


The special Food, Fun & Entertainment areais all about experiences. This is where street theatre, illusions, acrobatics, food, talent agencies and attraction hire come together. Not just to watch, but above all to experience, taste and try things for yourself.



Current themes in the events industry

Current challenges facing the industry also have a place at Festivak. How do you keep innovating as costs continue to rise? How do you create more memorable experiences without compromising on safety? And what role can smart technology and innovation play in making events more efficient, safer and more appealing?


On the exhibition floor, discover solutions and suppliers addressing these issues. At the same time, 40+ industry professionals will share their practical experience, decisions and lessons in the conference programme. The first speakers have now been announced. They include Peter Sanders, founder of Paaspop and CEO of This is Live Group, Herman Zondag, director of AFAS Theater, and Tessa Looijen, Strategic Brand Marketeer at bol.



Experience Festivak Together

The events industry only comes together on this scale once a year. After a busy event season, Festivak is where you meet again. That is why Festivak invites visitors to explore the exhibition floor with colleagues. You can compare ideas straight away, talk to suppliers and take inspiration away for your next events.


As is tradition, the first day of the show ends with the Festivak Netwerk-event from 19.00 to 20.45 on the central exhibition terrace. The perfect opportunity to catch up, make new contacts and round off the day together. Then, at 21.00, a spectacular finale awaits: one of the largest drone shows ever held in the Netherlands.


Festivak Netherlands 2026 takes place on Wednesday 18 November from 11.00 to 19.00 and Thursday 19 November from 11.00 to 17.00 at the Brabanthallen ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Admission is free for event professionals.


Free registration is now open. Register, find out more and view the programme.
