Best Trade Shows in the Netherlands

202 tracked shows, ranked by exhibitor count

The Netherlands punches above its size in exhibitions, aided by dense logistics, the Port of Rotterdam and an open, trade-oriented economy. It is the world's second-largest agricultural exporter, strong in horticulture, food, chemicals and high-tech machinery. Fairs concentrate in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam. RAI Amsterdam, with about 87,000 square metres, hosts IBC — a leading media and broadcast technology convention drawing visitors from over 170 countries — plus GreenTech for horticulture and Aquatech for the water sector; Jaarbeurs Utrecht and Rotterdam Ahoy are the other principal venues, serving technology, logistics and energy events.

202 trade shows in the Netherlands are currently tracked by Event Scout, with editions in 2026 & 2027. Together they host an estimated 27,045 exhibitors, led by VerzamelaarsJaarbeurs (an estimated 1,200 exhibitors). Sizeable exhibitor lists are already indexed for 74 of them — VIV Europe (891 companies), Metstrade (787), MRO Europe (631). Events run across 30 cities including Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The tracked calendar opens with Rock around the Jukebox Experience (3–4 Oct 2026).
