How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

Learning Technologies France was born in 2018, following CloserStill Media's acquisition of the iLearning Forum in 2017, as the French spin-off of the London trade show Learning Technologies, the European benchmark for workplace learning. The trade show settled at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles with an annual rhythm in January and grew in scale around its co-location with HR Technologies France, which today brings together more than 16,000 training and HR professionals. The 2027 edition, on 20 and 21 January, extends this positioning by placing AI applied to training at the centre of the programme. The final figures and the 2027 programme will be published as the trade show approaches.
