The end of the year is approaching, and with it a host of parties and convivial team meals. Later, with 2025 behind us, it will be the turn of New Year's greetings, with events that are more outward-looking, for customers or partners. \" The end-of-year festivities are also the start-of-year festivities. Our exceptional Parisian venues - the Salle Wagram, the 3 Mazarium at the Institut de France, the Palais des Congr\u00e8s de Paris-Saclay - get a second lease of life in January for launch parties designed to raise the profile of the brand. <\/em>\"Delphine Bouclon, Head of Business Development and Strategy at Ch\u00e2teauform'.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for companies, it's probably already far too late to worry about their organisations, and the professionals agree on one point: anticipation is key. \" Reservations for Christmas dinners and parties are usually made in September-October.<\/em>says Maxime Eduardo, co-founder of the events platform Naboo. After this period, the focus shifts to events in the first quarter of the following year, in particular the ski seminars.<\/em> \"Olivier Vieira, Sales & Marketing Director of the Sofitel Paris Baltimore Tour Eiffel, which this year launched an exclusive banquet offer for the festive season, also bears witness to this: \" Bookings begin in late September or early October, as space is in high demand for both December and January. <\/em>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good 2026 resolution for companies that missed the kick-off this year: Laurent Gabard, CEO of Rejolt, recommends taking \"the first step\". from September<\/em> \"You'll be able to take advantage of a wide choice of venues and attractive rates. But there's a long way to go between theory and practice, and procrastination sometimes - or always - wins out over anticipation. \" Companies often start very late<\/em>observes Laurent Gabard. For us, the events are spread evenly over the two months, with a number of them being postponed from December to January due to lack of space. <\/em>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
