Dutch business culture is informal and direct, and meetings usually start on time. English is widely spoken, so a mix of Dutch and English works well at Credit Expo, but keep pitches concise and data-led.
Payments and tipping
Debit card and contactless payments are the norm in 's-Hertogenbosch and cash is accepted less often at smaller venues. Service charges are usually included, so tipping is optional; rounding up or leaving around 5-10 percent is appreciated for good service.
Meals and timing
Dinner often starts early by international standards, typically between 18:00 and 20:00, and lunch is often a quick sandwich or broodje. Reserve a table if you plan to eat in the city centre on the evening of the fair.
City orientation
The historic centre of 's-Hertogenbosch, known locally as Den Bosch, is compact and walkable, with St. John's Cathedral and the Binnendieze canals as landmarks. The 1931 Congrescentrum sits in the Brabanthallen area outside the old town and is best reached by bus, bike or taxi.
Weather and clothing
Early November is cool and often damp, so smart-casual business dress plus a waterproof outer layer is the practical choice for a day at the venue.
