Several major tech events held in France have already published their dates for 2027. As of 12 November 2026, nine events display a precise schedule on their official website, from Forum InCyber in Lille in March to Paris Games Week at the end of October, with VivaTech from 16 to 19 June as the highlight. June alone brings together three major events: it is best to book early.
First half: cybersecurity, immersive tech and the ecological transition
- Forum InCyber Europe, Lille, 9 to 11 March 2027. The International Cybersecurity Forum returns to Lille Grand Palais. It presents itself as the European event for digital trust and now extends its brand to Canada, Japan and the United States. It is aimed at information systems security managers, public administrations and solution vendors.
- Laval Virtual, Laval, 7 to 9 April 2027. The immersive technologies show, held since 1999, announces its twenty-ninth edition. Its website highlights around 200 exhibitors, 5,000 visitors and 80 speakers over three days, focused on extended reality.
- ChangeNOW, Paris, 26 to 28 April 2027. The summit devoted to solutions for the planet is held at the Grand Palais. Its organisers claim 40,000 participants, 1,400 investors and visitors from 140 countries: a useful stop for young climate tech companies looking for customers and funding.
June, the busiest month
- Paris Air Show (Salon du Bourget), 14 to 20 June 2027. The international aeronautics and space show has set its dates on its website. It is mainly of interest to manufacturers and young companies in aeronautics and space.
- VivaTech, Paris, 16 to 19 June 2027. The show co-organised by Publicis Groupe and the Les Echos-Le Parisien group is held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, as indicated by its website and by the Swiss export promotion agency S-GE, which is preparing a national pavilion there. The official page displays 200,000 participants, 4,500 exhibitors, more than 15,000 start-ups and 165 countries represented, figures that serve more as a showcase than as a detailed assessment.
- Cannes Lions, Cannes, 21 to 25 June 2027. The international festival of creativity is held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès and hands out renowned advertising awards. It is primarily of interest to marketing and communications professionals.
The overlap between VivaTech and the end of the Paris Air Show forces companies present at both to split their teams.
Second half: blockchain, connected industry and video games
- Signal Week, Paris, 6 and 7 July 2027. The former Paris Blockchain Week is changing its name: its website announces the 2027 edition at the Carrousel du Louvre, with the stated ambition of bridging traditional finance and digital assets. The 2026 edition claimed more than 10,000 participants, more than 320 speakers and more than 360 journalists.
- SIDO, Lyon, 15 and 16 September 2027. The thirteenth edition is held at Eurexpo. The show brings together the internet of things, AI, robotics and extended reality, and says it welcomed 8,015 professionals and 300 exhibitors in 2026.
- Paris Games Week, Paris, 28 to 31 October 2027. The website banner announces these dates at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. A word of caution, however: the rest of the page still describes the 2026 edition, and the detailed announcement is not yet online.
Events whose 2027 dates are still to be confirmed
Several eagerly awaited events had not yet published verifiable 2027 dates as of 12 November. The Paris FinTech Forum website only describes its 2026 programme, and the Tech Show Paris website only presents the 18 and 19 November 2026 edition. Other events whose official website we were unable to consult are not included in this calendar until their dates are confirmed at the source.
One precaution applies to all of them: organisers may adjust venues and times. Before booking transport and accommodation, check the official page again, especially for events whose 2027 edition has only just been announced.
