As of 2023, the major international sporting events will be held in France. These sports, cultural and festive highlights are exceptional opportunities to organise your professional events. Make the choice of savoir-faire, expertise and attractiveness: France will welcome you with open arms.
France has a long history of hosting events and is a global leader in the planning and hosting of major international exhibitions, congresses, and tradeshows. Prior to the health crisis, Paris was the most appealing destination in the world for major international conventions. Many other French cities (including Lyon, Nice, Toulouse, Marseille-Aix, Bordeaux, Nantes, and Lille) are among the European and global leaders in this field. Our secret? Long-standing expertise, unrivalled service quality, and world-class tourist and transportation infrastructure.
Olympic Games, Rugby World Cup and many more: we welcome the world... and you!
Over the next few years, all eyes will be on France. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to demonstrate your global openness by hosting professional congresses, exhibitions, and tradeshows in the heart of the world's sporting and media scene:
