The Legacy
The Legacy Edition
In 2026, Yves Gijrath will mark 25 years of building lasting encounters. What began as an idea has grown into a place where entrepreneurship, creativity, and personal presence converge. MASTERS EXPO is a key component of this anniversary year. From December 10th to 14th, The Legacy Edition will take place in Amsterdam, an edition born from experience, trust, and time. The longevity of this moment is already evident.
Dozens of leading companies and brands have signed up for this edition. Design teams are working on spatial plans, stand concepts, and installations. Behind the scenes, something that goes beyond a trade show floor is being built. The RAI will look different than ever before.
Not fuller, but more layered. Not louder, but more intense. Guests come from far and wide, not for a program, but for an experience. The opening day is called The Birthday Party. The VIP Day & Night is the heart of this edition. What happens there cannot be announced or repeated.
MASTERS EXPO '26 and MASTERS SUMMER EXPO are part of The Legacy: a series of moments, publications, and collaborations unfolding this year. Not everything is set in stone. That is precisely what makes it exciting. The Legacy Edition is neither a retrospective nor an summation. It is a rare crossroads in time, a moment when everything converges.
For brands and partners who sense when it's time to be present. Who understand that some editions aren't just attended, but attended.
