This is where the Belgian event industry came together
Anyone walking through the Nekkerhal felt it immediately: the event sector is alive, vibrant and surprising. From innovative tools for planning and logistics to creative concepts for décor, experience and technology. At Festivak, everything and everyone from the event industry came together.
Visitors played shuffleboard at Monday, caught bananas at Kendor and were treated to laser shows, nitrogen balls and even a camel race. Practical solutions also had their place, from mobile car washes to glamping tents and sleeping units.
"Festivak is a trade fair where we can get tremendously creative. At the same time, you find the right people here to exchange ideas on how to fill our events."

Festivak Networking Event
After the first exhibition day, it was time for the annual Festivak Networking Event. The central fair terrace, attractively decorated by partner Total-e, was transformed into a cozy meeting place in the afternoon.
It was not only a successful end to the day, but also a good time to talk to existing relations and make new contacts in a laid-back atmosphere.
More than 40 Seminars
With 40 keynotes spread over two days, there was a robust program of content ready for visitors. Topical themes were amply covered. But there was also room for surprising perspectives.
