Global Industrie 2026: The must-attend event for the French industrial sector

•

April

2026

Over the years, Global Industrie has established itself as France’s largest industrial event. It brings together more than 60,000 professionals and 2,500 exhibitors to explore the key themes shaping the industry of tomorrow.

Every year, the trade show serves as a strategic hub for all stakeholders in the industry. Decision-makers, engineers, buyers, startups, and institutional representatives come together there with a shared goal: to build an innovative, competitive, and responsible industry.

Supporting an event of this scale presents a major operational and technological challenge. Managing a continuous flow of tens of thousands of attendees over four days, ensuring the reliability of real-time data across all venues, and providing a seamless experience from the first click to entry into the exhibition hall: these are all requirements that call for a comprehensive, proven, and fully integrated system.

For the 2026 edition, GL events has entrusted Mediactive Events with managing the entire visitor and exhibitor experience.
