How much it costs to exhibit

Exhibitor rates not published: quote on request from GL Events. As Eurobois is a specialist timber-sector trade show with a strong international component (31% international exhibitors in 2024), the per-m² ranges are likely to sit between regional trade shows (Nordbat, Artibat) and national trade shows (Batimat).

Policy & CSR initiatives

CSR is at the heart of Eurobois's positioning: timber is a low-carbon construction material, and the 2026 programme highlights the reuse of timber materials and RE 2020 compliance (source: architecturebois.fr). Sustainable forest management certifications (PEFC, FSC) are a structuring argument for exhibitors in the sector.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

Steady growth over 2 editions: 29,363 visitors in 2024 → 30,500 in 2026 (sources: architecturebois.fr, batiweb.com), i.e. +3.9%. Number of exhibitors rising: 523 (2024) → 600 brands (2026). The 2024 edition marked a step change in segment broadening (architecture +139%): Eurobois is shifting from a "furniture machine-tools" trade show to a "timber construction and specification" trade show. To watch for 2028: confirmation of this broadened positioning.
