Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Attending Get Nord 2026 on 2026-11-19 to 2026-11-21 in Hamburg lets buyers and specifiers benchmark suppliers, see live demonstrations, and compress months of vendor meetings into one focused trade visit — worthwhile when your category roadmap aligns with the official exhibitor profile.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Digital buyer journeys
Professionals expect pre-show agendas, product finders, and meeting tools; suppliers align demos and literature to short on-stand decision cycles.
Sustainability in procurement
Energy use, recyclable materials, and carbon reporting increasingly appear in RFPs and exhibitor scorecards across industrial trade fairs.
Automation and labour efficiency
Visitors benchmark machinery, software, and services that reduce downtime, staffing pressure, and total cost of ownership.
Regional supply-chain resilience
Buyers diversify suppliers across Europe, MENA, and Asia while favouring vendors with local service, spare parts, and training.
Hybrid engagement models
Live demonstrations remain decisive, but follow-up webinars, digital catalogues, and year-round supplier portals extend the commercial window after the show.
Electrical and SHK buyers typically plan GET NORD alongside other European building-services fairs to compare product ranges, service coverage and pricing across markets, and to consolidate supplier relationships into a single annual buying cycle.
Pre-show (8–12 weeks out)
Book Hamburg accommodation, secure stand meetings and, for non-EU visitors, lodge the Schengen business visa application.
Show week (19–21 November 2026)
Hall walk-throughs across the electrical and SHK segments, forum sessions, live demos and supplier negotiations.
Post-show
Consolidate quotations, delivery and freight terms, and schedule follow-up technical visits with shortlisted suppliers.
Peer events are established European and international building-services trade fairs; confirm exact dates and locations on each organiser website before booking travel.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Friday 20 November 2026 (middle day of the three-day run)
GET NORD runs Thursday to Saturday, with Saturday offering the shortest opening hours and a stronger pull towards local trade and craft visitors. Friday gives a full show day with every hall, the forum programme and demonstration areas running at capacity, exhibitor technical teams fully staffed and enough time for same-day follow-up meetings before you travel home. Thursday works equally well for buyers who need first-mover access to new products, but Friday offers the best balance of programme depth, quieter meeting slots and travel flexibility.
