The Women in Exhibitions French Chapter was officially launched in 2024. As representatives of the French exhibition organizers, venues and service providers, we strive to highlight both successes and challenges, share inspiring knowledge, and encourage innovative initiatives.

In this capacity, we take great pride in collaborating with our counterparts from different regions and countries across the globe, including the DACH region, the Middle East, the Netherlands, North America and the United Kingdom in creating synergies and enhancing our global impact.

We are committed to creating opportunities for everyone to thrive, learn, and grow. Our goals are diverse:

• Mentoring
• Offering high-quality training
• Facilitating professional networking
• Promoting meaningful connections within our dynamic industry
• Enabling benchmarking and the dissemination of information, all to make our industry even greater
• Providing strong role models for the younger generation striving for management positions.

We adopt a comprehensive approach to achieve these connectivity and learning goals:

• Organizing formal and informal events aimed at fostering networking, creating synergies and interactions among members, and offering inspiring and practical content.
• Organizing conferences & talks, presentations, matchmaking sessions, breakfasts/after-work events, roundtable discussions, and sharing of experiences.
• Addressing topics related to personal development, skill development and career progression, with presentations of inspiring career paths and useful resources such as books or studies.

We aspire to become the benchmark network for women in the exhibition industry in France, bringing together individuals who believe in the power of sharing experience to drive professional development and promote excellence.
