On September 2nd, the Paris Ile-de-France CCI published the 2026 edition of its review of activity for exhibition and convention centres in the Greater Paris region. The figures show an acceleration across almost all indicators in a region that remains Europe's leading business infrastructure offering, with 24 sites and nearly 700,000 m\u00b2 of indoor exhibition space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trade fair sector experienced significant growth in 2025. The region hosted 362 trade fairs, bringing together 100,487 exhibiting companies, compared with 88,785 in 2023, and 7 million visitors, compared with 5.6 million two years earlier. These events generated \u20ac4.1 billion in economic impact, compared with \u20ac3.3 billion in 2023, and \u20ac18.2 billion in sales between exhibitors and visitors, excluding the aerospace and defence sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trend continued into the first half of 2026: the net floor space occupied by trade fairs in the \u00cele-de-France region increased by 7.4 % and the number of exhibitors by 8.6 % compared with the previous session, confirming the region\u2019s enduring appeal to organisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
