Presentations at Duikvaker 2027: 80+ speakers across 5 theatres

Alongside 200+ exhibitors and a buzzing show floor, the presentations have been a staple of Duikvaker for years. On 5, 6 and 7 February 2027, more than 80 speakers will once again take the stage, spread across five theatres at Expo Houten.

What to expect
Each presentation runs 25 to 30 minutes — short enough to catch several in a single day, long enough to do a topic justice. Subjects are as varied as ever: underwater photography, wreck diving, technical diving, dive medicine, travel destinations, ecology. In addition to Dutch-language speakers, the programme also includes presentations in English and German. The language is listed in advance for every session.

DuikeninBeeld themed tables return
A firm fixture for the past few years: the themed tables at the DuikeninBeeld stand. A chance for a direct conversation with experts in a more intimate setting, covering underwater photography, equipment maintenance, sustainable diving — everything you rarely get the chance to ask about in a theatre environment.

Limited programme on Friday evening
New for 2027 is the Friday Evening edition, running from 18:00 to 21:00. That evening, we are deliberately keeping the number of presentations to a minimum — three hours goes quickly, and we want visitors to have plenty of time to explore the show floor and visit the stands. The full programme runs on Saturday and Sunday.

Free with your Duikvaker ticket
All presentations are free for visitors with a Duikvaker ticket. No separate registration, no extra charge — just walk in whenever a topic catches your eye.

Programme announced in September
