Made in Hainaut 2026 Fair

Background of the event

The Made in Hainaut Trade Show is a major economic event held every two years at the Porte du Hainaut. The event brings together businesses, institutions, economic partners, and visitors to promote the local economy.

Following an initial collaboration focused on visitor registration and on-site sign-in, AppCraft was asked to participate in this new edition to support acomplete overhaul of the event’s digital platform.

The goal was to create a modern, scalable, and easily manageable website while simplifying the visitor experience and optimizing on-site operations.
