During the Real Estate Expedition, you come into contact with all kinds of companies from the real estate sector. But at NVM, you don’t just step into a booth — you step into the profession. Because what does it actually mean to be a real estate agent or valuer? At NVM, you’ll discover just how diverse the work is. From guiding people in the purchase of their dream home to advising entrepreneurs on the perfect location. From estimating property value to tackling complex issues involving land, leasehold and redevelopment. In this session, you’ll get to know the profession in an interactive way. No long presentations — just real stories from young professionals who have only recently been in your shoes. They’ll show you what their day-to-day work involves, share their experiences, and demonstrate why the profession is so enjoyable, challenging and varied. You’ll be getting stuck into practical decisions yourself and discover where your interests lie. Because the best place for you? You’ll find out by doing. Drop by, ask your questions and be surprised. Maybe this is where your future begins!

Not a man of one company, but a man of movements. His strength? Not shouting from the sidelines, but starting new companies himself that set the market in motion and challenge existing systems. That's how the jury of the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 describes winner Michel Baars. 'Michel gives direction to our entire construction and real estate sector.'

For three days, the real estate sector stood shoulder to shoulder at RAI Amsterdam. With a record number of visitors, a packed programme and plenty of energy, PROVADA 2026 was an edition to remember. Below, we look back at the highlights — and at the end you'll find the photos and aftermovie to relive it all.

At PROVADA 2026, the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 was presented to Michel Baars. The award is presented annually to an individual who realises sustainable change within the built environment through vision, courage and decisiveness. This year's presentation marks the award's fifth edition.
