The IamExpat Fair is returning to the Grote Kerk in The Hague on Saturday 7 November 2026, with more exhibitors than in previous editions. The event is designed for internationals and brings together organisations that provide practical help with careers, housing, education and other aspects of settling in the Netherlands. Visitors can speak directly with companies, recruiters, relocation specialists and community groups, and attend presentations or workshops. The fair is free to attend, though registration may be required. It offers a chance to gather information and make contacts in one place rather than searching online.
What this means if you are learning Dutch or new in the Netherlands
If you have recently arrived or are planning to move, events like this can save time. You can ask direct questions about job hunting, rental contracts, and Dutch bureaucracy, often in English. That said, it is still worth building your Dutch skills for daily life and formal situations. The fair is also a low-pressure way to meet other internationals and learn from their experiences. If you are in the area, it could be a useful step in your settlement journey.
