Programme & community

Conference programme

The programme is built around keynotes and plenary conferences delivered by institutional partners, IDET & Workplace Magazine conferences, and workshops run by exhibitors (source: workspace-paris.com/programmes). In 2024, the 18 conferences and headline interviews played to a full house with more than 1,600 attendees (source: Weyou Group 2024 release).

In 2026, the "AUTREMENT" trends space, designed by architect Karl Petit, explored modular and adaptable spaces as an alternative to the traditional open-plan office (sources: workplacemagazine.fr, workinglife.fr).

One-to-one business meetings

Launched for the 2026 edition, the business meetings programme draws on Weyou Group's matchmaking platform: European Design & Build decision-makers with live projects are invited for two days of 15-minute face-to-face meetings with exhibitors (source: Weyou Group release, April 2025). The "Business meetings" page remains online on the 2027 edition's website, with no 2027 schedule published to date.

Preparing your visit

For the exhibitor

• 12 months out: book early. More than two thirds of the 2026 edition's floor space was already booked eleven months before opening (source: Weyou Group release, April 2025).
• 6 months out: choose your stand package and apply for an Expert Workshop slot.
• 3 months out: keep an eye on the "Business meetings" page on the official website and sign up for the one-to-one programme as soon as the 2027 schedule opens.
• 1 month out: arrange your team's presence for the Wednesday late-night opening (open until 9 pm).

For the decision-maker visitor

• Request your free badge online at workspace-paris.com (proof of professional activity required).
• Check the "Business meetings" page in advance: the one-to-one programme connects decision-makers with pre-selected suppliers based on projects (2027 schedule not published to date).
• Note the plenary conferences on the programme: they were playing to a full house in 2024.
• The Wednesday late-night opening allows for an end-of-day visit.

Policy & CSR initiatives

The organiser does not publish a dedicated CSR commitments page for the trade show to date.

Sustainability was nonetheless a stated focus of the 2026 edition: the "French Eco Waves" trail showcased made-in-France products, the reuse of materials and eco-construction, while the "Circular Pavilion" brought together 15 brands committed to reuse. Upcycled furniture is among the exhibition categories listed on the official exhibitor list (sources: ameublement.com, workinglife.fr, workspace-paris.com).

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

Attendance is rising steadily: +8% in 2024 to break the 20,500-visitor mark, then +2% in 2025 to 20,910 professionals. Internationalisation is the standout feature: near parity between French and foreign brands from 2024, then a majority of foreign brands in 2025 (168 out of 305).

The switch to the Workspace Paris name for the 2027 edition and the European business meetings programme launched in 2026 reflect Weyou Group's stated ambition: to become "the largest annual trade show in the sector in Europe" (source: 2025 results release).
