Where the future begins
HortiContact, the leading trade fair for the Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector, will take place on 25 and 26 February 2026 at Evenementenhal Gorinchem. HortiContact will focus on Cultivation Technology & Plant Health, Digitisation & Robotisation, and Personnel & Training. These main themes will be explored in a number of themed pavilions, by the exhibitors, and in the knowledge programme.
As a visitor to HortiContact, you will come into contact with experts, suppliers, knowledge partners and colleagues from the sector. It is the perfect opportunity to gain valuable insights and knowledge and to find out about the latest news from the sector. The networking terraces on the exhibition floor will also be back this year, and visitors will once again be able to vote for the best innovation in the Innovation Zone.
First Edition of the National Horti Symposium
During the first edition of the annual National Horti Symposium on March 6, 2024, at HortiContact, we addressed the most crucial question in the sector: how is the sector managing its energy risks, and what strategies does this lead to?
Dick Veerman, founder of Foodlog, acted as the moderator and led the discussion in a thought-provoking and interactive manner. Researcher Remco de Boer from Studio Energie updated us on energy and climate issues. Bouke Arends, mayor of Westland, explained the role of local governments. Additionally, Puck Van Holstein, CEO of World Horti Center, shared her vision for the future.
The National Horti Symposium takes place on Wednesday, March 6. Reception is at 10:00 AM, and the program starts at 10:30 AM. From 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM, there will be an opportunity to network over a lunch buffet, followed by a visit to the trade show. When ordering your ticket for HortiContact, you can register for the National Horti Symposium free of charge. Act quickly, as there is a limited number of seats available for the symposium.
