ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
From 3 to 6 February 2026, Poznań will become the premier meeting place for specialists seeking modern technologies, robust materials, and design inspiration. This unique convergence of three powerful events opens up new horizons for promotion and growth for stone industry companies, enabling them to reach a broad spectrum of professionals – from architects and urban planners, to contractors, investors, and developers.
The integration of the STONE, BUDMA, and INTERMASZ fairs represents the most significant potential the stone industry has received in recent years. The shared exhibition space will ensure a threefold increase in visitor traffic, and consequently, a real opportunity to boost sales, establish B2B contacts, and position stone as the material of first choice for contemporary architecture.
BUDMA means access to thousands of architects, designers, and contracting firms seeking structural, façade, and finishing solutions. INTERMASZ is an opportunity to explore the latest machinery, equipment, and technologies that enhance the efficiency of stoneworking operations.
Tools, Demonstrations, Championships - Practical Knowledge
STONE 2026 remains a place where stone can not only be seen but also experienced in action. Visitors can look forward to:
- Live demonstrations showcasing stone cutting, processing, and installation.
- Premieres of the latest tools and equipment.
- Practical consultations with engineers and technicians.
- Championships and competitions for professionals – the only events of their kind in Poland where masters of the craft can compete, inspire, and enhance their qualifications.
ARCHI-STRADA 2026 & the D&A Design and Architecture Forum
A key component of this year's edition is ARCHI-STRADA 2026 – a space created for architects, designers, urban planners, and building material manufacturers. This is precisely where the latest products, trends, and innovations shaping the architecture of the future are presented.
For stonemasons, this is a unique opportunity to:
- Position stone as a premium material.
- Inspire designers to use stone boldly in new projects.
- Participate in discussions on aesthetics, durability, and responsible design.
- Build relationships with architectural studios and contracting firms.
Within the ARCHI-STRADA zone, the Design and Architecture Forum D&A (3–4 February 2026) will take place – one of the most prestigious events in Poland, gathering distinguished specialists from the country and abroad. Previous edition speakers included, among others: Asko Takala, Mateusz Mastalski, and Robert Konieczny.
In 2026, the Special Guest will be Carl Bäckstrand, architect and Deputy CEO of White Arkitekter – one of the most renowned architectural studios in Europe. This is a tremendous opportunity to present stone within the context of global design trends.
