Description
The Parc des Expositions de l'Eurométropole de Metz is located in the Grigy / Grange-aux-Bois district, 6 km south of the city centre. Opened in 1977, it occupies a 50-hectare site, including 21,000 sqm of indoor space spread across 3 halls and 2 mezzanines, organised around an 800 sqm entrance gallery.
The site is operated by GL Events, through the SASU GL Events Parc des Expositions de Metz Métropole, under the commercial brand Metz Événements (also referred to as Metz Expo Événements). The venue hosts around 50 events per year and 800,000 visitors annually.
The site combines consumer trade fair / public show activity with business tourism, in keeping with the events ecosystem of Metz Métropole: the Centre des Congrès Robert Schuman and the Centre de Congrès du Technopôle, both also operated by GL Events.
