UNIMEV: the benchmark organization for event professions in France

UNIMEV (Union Française des Métiers de l’Événement) is the sole representative organization for the entire event industry in France. It federates more than 400 companies covering the sector's entire value chain:

Organizers of trade shows and public exhibitions
Managers of exhibition parks and convention centers
Technical and logistical service providers
Designers of booths and event spaces
Design and scenography agencies

Based on four key missions — study, develop, train, and act — UNIMEV actively contributes to the competitiveness, structuring, and international influence of the French event sector.

Thanks to its market studies, sector observatories, and advocacy work with public authorities, UNIMEV serves as a strategic pillar for the evolution of events in France.

Why Expace is joining UNIMEV

As a specialist in the design and creation of professional and event spaces — custom booths, showrooms, corners, temporary and permanent layouts — Expace naturally operates at the heart of the event ecosystem.

Our membership in UNIMEV meets several strategic objectives:

Join a national network of excellence

Joining UNIMEV means becoming part of a dynamic network of professionals who share high standards of quality, innovation, and performance.

Access market studies and sector data

The economic studies, regulatory monitoring, and trend analyses published by UNIMEV make it possible to anticipate developments in the event market and adapt our offerings accordingly.

Participate in reflections on innovation and CSR

The committees dedicated to corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainable development, and ethics echo Expace's commitments. We wish to actively contribute to the responsible transformation of the sector.

Being a member of UNIMEV helps strengthen the voice of event space designers before public and professional institutions.

Co-create the standards of tomorrow

By participating in professional groups and cross-functional committees, Expace intends to contribute to the development of best practices and standards that will structure tomorrow's events.

The French event industry: a major economic driver

The event sector represents a strategic economic driver for France.

Every year:

Nearly 2,800 conventions are organized across the country
Over 23 million visitor entries are registered at trade shows and exhibitions
Thousands of businesses deploy their expertise in event design, production, and logistics

According to the first Event Observatory launched by UNIMEV, the dynamics of trade shows and public events confirm a solid recovery and structural transformation of the sector.

This evolution is accompanied by new challenges:

Hybridization of formats (in-person / digital)
Reduction of environmental footprint
Scenographic and immersive innovation
Optimized visitor experience

As a specialist player in professional and event space design, Expace is fully integrated into these transformations.

Expace and UNIMEV: building the events of tomorrow

For Expace, this membership goes beyond a simple institutional framework. It reflects a clear ambition: to actively contribute to more innovative, more responsible, and sustainably high-performing events.

Our expertise in space design, scenography, and technical realization positions us as a key partner for brands and organizers wishing to:

Enhance their brand image
Optimize their impact at trade shows
Create differentiating immersive experiences
Integrate eco-friendly practices

The values promoted by UNIMEV — excellence, professionalism, innovation, and responsibility — are fully aligned with our strategic vision.

Membership supporting our development and that of our clients

Its legitimacy within the French event industry
Its ability to anticipate sector trends
Its network of qualified partners
Its CSR commitment within a structured collective framework
