On the exhibition floor you’ll find employment stands manned by major industrial specialists, recruiters will give advice on available employment and experts will advise on building a professional network.

Outside the building you’ll find the International Festival Eindhoven with its international food, market, live music, displays of hand-made products and children’s entertainments. Thousands of expat workers will attend, and free tickets can be had on the organisers’ website. If you’re already living and working in Eindhoven, the event is a great way to enlarge your contact circle, meet now friends and find out all you need to known about your prospects as an expat in the Netherlands.
