Second Home Expo is organized in Jaarbeurs Hall 12. Parking lot P2, address Truus van Lierlaan 2, 3527 KZ Utrecht is used for construction and dismantling (route click here).

Unfortunately, as an organization we have no influence on the parking policy at the Jaarbeurs. All rules and costs are determined and implemented by the venue.

There are 2 options for parking at P2 during construction. There is a loading and unloading zone right next to the hall, for exhibitors who want to unload a lot or heavy material. This zone is regulated via the Vehicle Registration System (VRS) because there is not enough parking space for all traffic. To guarantee access to this zone, we recommend a time slot reservation via DB Schenker (click here to make a reservation). This is possible from 4 weeks prior to 48 hours before start built up, all VRS information: NL click here – EN click here. Contact information DB Schenker +(31) 6 55 45 38 16 or traffic.nl@dbschenker.com.

From P2 you walk directly into the hall via the expedition bridge (EB) (walking distance about 50m) map click here. We advise exhibitors with less material to park directly at P2. A separate zone has been cordoned off for Second Home exhibitors. Access to the loading and unloading area is also possible without a time slot reservation, but based on availability and instructions on site. As a result, you may have to wait a while.

Important:

• Vehicles under 2.70 meters can load and unload for a maximum of 60 minutes
• Vehicles over 2.70 meters can load and unload for a maximum of 120 minutes
• If your loading and unloading time has expired, please move the vehicle to parking P2 or P4 by using route 200
• If vehicles are left in the loading and unloading zone for more than an hour, you will be charged € 120,- (to be paid directly at the barrier!)
• Unattached trailers and trailers cannot be left at Jaarbeurs. A tow-away regulation is in force for this
• Sunday build off 17-19h: ONLY access loading/unloading zone for exhibitors with vehicles under 2.70m, timeslot not necessary!
• Sunday build off 19-23h: vehicles above 2.70m have access to P2 from 19:00 (!!). Parking fee for earlier entry to Jaarbeursterrein € 80,- (system registers vehicle above 2.70m on exhibition day). It is not possible to leave the loading/unloading zone after 23:00, but it is possible to leave from P2 (loading/unloading zone is closed between 23:00 and 07:00).

Storage and reinstallation for your future participation at Second Home Expo is possible, when you are registered for upcoming shows. Just inform us which materials and we can inform you about the price.

If you want to use posters for standard stand construction, please use these WALL PANEL MEASUREMENTS. It’s not allowed to drill, nail or staple into the wall panels. And be aware of fixing material (for example glue or double sided tape) that causes any damage (or adhesive residue). Wall panels have to be left behind clean, cleaning costs (€ 39,00 per panel) will be charged!

We advise the TESA powerstrips to attach posters, to avoid damaging the wall panels. You can buy these stickers at the organizations office .

You can order prints via the webshop. To order a back wall visual for a truss construction, please contact your exhibition manager.

Together with the Jaarbeurs, we want to take a step towards sustainability and that includes a zero waste organization. This means that we are taking immediate steps, to separate waste better and to reduce the amount of waste.

During construction and dismantling, we kindly ask all suppliers, exhibitors and stand builders to dispose (packaging) materials and waste themselves. Containers will no longer be placed in the hall, but can be ordered through the organization (prices on request).

Environmental coaches are present in the hall during the construction and dismantling to approach exhibitors, suppliers and stand builders to talk about their waste and the correct way of transporting it. These environmental coaches make their rounds with foil bags so that we can also collect that value stream separately.

Abandoned waste is registered and treated per waste group. The processing costs + handling fee of € 150 will be invoiced directly to the exhibitor. You can order different (roll) containers per waste group (wood, residual waste, paper etc.) from only € 37.00.

We ask all exhibitors, suppliers and stand builders to cooperate in order to reduce waste as much as possible!
