Past Editions

2021 Edition 

Despite legitimate concerns regarding the pandemic, EPHJ welcomed a significant number of visitors. Exhibitors were pleased both by the number of visitors and their quality. In terms of exhibitor numbers, organisers knew that they would not reach the numbers from previous editions. The exhibition grounds featured an open plan structure with wide aisles to make movement easier while maintaining social distance. Overall organisation was pleasing, with attendants accepting the constraints of the safety measures with good humour. The edition featured many roundtable discussions. One of the topics was the increasing pressure on subcontractors regarding sustainability, traceability and environmental protection. 

2022 Edition

EPHJ 2022 took place as a live event between 14.06.2022 and 17.06.2022. It was held at Palexpo amidst the absence of Covid-19 safety measure due to the removal of the domestic restrictions. The event received over 700 exhibitors from 14 countries and 18,000 visitors (33% increased compared to 2021).
