Open Source Experience positions itself as the leading business exhibition for open source in Europe. Next edition: December 9 and 10, 2026 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Hall 5.2.

Open Source Experience: sovereignty, resilience, and innovation

For its 6th edition, the exhibition brings together CIOs, public sector and local authority decision-makers, and companies of all sizes around open-source solutions. The organizer announces over 6,000 expected professionals, around 90 exhibitors, and 130 conferences and workshops.

Organized by Infopro Digital Trade Show, with the support of Systematic Paris-Region Open Source Hub, the exhibition focuses on digital sovereignty and the resilience of information systems.

Paris Porte de Versailles: an accessible hall in the heart of Paris

Hall 5.2 is located at Place de la Porte de Versailles, served by metro line 12 and tramways T2 and T3a. Access is simple for visitors from the Paris region.

The exhibition takes place in Paris: our Parisian teams and our Lyon workshops operate in close proximity. The venue rules impose delivery and assembly slots that must be respected.

Tech and software booth: our approach

At an open-source software exhibition, the booth must make expertise visible: demonstration screens, short conference areas, a reception counter, and meeting lounges for discussions with CIOs. Visit our energy, tech, and cybersecurity booth page and our custom-made booths. Designed and manufactured in France, assembled in Paris.
