DACH FORUM (15-16.01.2026)

5th Congress and Expo for Roofers, Tinsmiths and Carpenters ROOF FORUM

Roof Expo reports sky-high results. The 2026 Roof of the Forum at Targi Kielce is now history

With its record-breaking attendance, thousands of professionals, hundreds of live shows and masters of the craft in action. Roof Forum 2026 at Targi Kielce confirmed its position as the most important event for the roofing industry in Poland and one of the key ones in Europe. The fifth expo in the series was the largest, most dynamic, and most unforgettable.

The record-breaking number of attendees and the largest edition of Roof Forum

The Roof Forum 2026 went down in history as the largest edition of the event, featuring nearly 200 exhibitors from 9 countries. Over two days, Targi Kielce welcomed more than 19,000 specialists from Poland and around the world, representing an increase of over 1,000 attendees compared to last year. The six exhibition halls and the outdoor area were filled with manufacturers' expo stands, demonstrations, and talks that ran from the opening until the trade fair's closing.

Crafts in the spotlight – Craft Zone at the Roof Forum

The heart of the event - the Craft Zone, organised by the "Wiecha" Guild, brought together the best roofers, sheet metal workers, and carpenters from Poland and across Europe, and presented both traditional and modern work techniques. Practice, precision and experience met new technologies, and the zone attracted crowds of participants for two days, becoming a place of learning, inspiration and intergenerational knowledge exchange.

Hundreds of live shows and technological premieres for the 2026 season

The Targi Kielce Roof Forum focused on practice, with hundreds of live demonstrations, tool testing, and roof system installation. Participants were able to see new products in real working conditions. There was great interest in product launches for the 2026 season, including the new Aron snap seam from Regamet, which was featured at the official premiere hosted by Dorota Gardias. Kielce Expo has once again become the venue for the debut of solutions that will soon appear on rooftops across Poland.

Masters of roofing and carpentry – exciting competitions

Huge excitement was a part of the industry competitions - - the Blachotrapez Competition Arena with its Blachotrapez Roofing Championship brought together the best roofers in the country who competed for the main prize. Zdzisław Jarosz was declared the winner and received the main prize in the competition organised by the Strategic Sponsor of the Roof Forum expo - Blachotrapez, i.e., the Volkswagen Transporter T7. The competition that proved equally spectacular was the Masters Roof for the carpenters - the title master went to Marcin Płotka. Both competitions confirmed the highest level of Polish roofing craftsmanship.

Adam Małysz and the stars at the Roof Forum

The presence of Adam Małysz - the Blachotrapez brand ambassador, was a strong magnet for visitors. The legend of Polish sports actively supported the competition finalists and presented awards. Group photos and conversations will remain in the participants' memories for a long time. The featured guests of the event included, among others, Robert Burneika, Joanna Jabłczyńska, Karol Bielecki, and Polish speedway representatives, whose presence further raised the event's profile.

Knowledge and expert debate on the industry's future

Roof Forum 2026 was also a platform for discussions about the future of the industry. Lectures and panel discussions focused on new technologies, regulatory changes, energy efficiency and labour market challenges. Experts, manufacturers and contractors jointly analysed market development directions, emphasising the growing role of innovation and quality of workmanship.

The Roof Forum 2026 – the bar goes even higher

The fifth Roof Forum at Targi Kielce was record-breaking in every respect – scale, attendance and level of excitement. Two intense days showed that the roofing industry is strong, integrated and ready for new challenges.
