The World Impact Summit brings together public and private decision-makers around positive impact solutions. After seven editions in Bordeaux, the 8th edition was held on February 5 and 6, 2026, in Paris, at the Grande Halle de la Villette. The 2027 dates remain to be confirmed.

World Impact Summit: reconciling awareness and action

The summit brings together nine themes, including agriculture, energy, responsible AI, green industry, sustainable construction, the circular economy, and employment. It offers four content areas: a main plenary, a territorial plenary, sector-specific workshops, and a solutions space, the Agora. Admission is free.

The attendance figures for the 2026 edition (to be confirmed) can be consulted on the official website.

The Grande Halle de la Villette: an iconic venue in Paris

The Grande Halle de la Villette is a historic metal hall in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, accessible by metro and tramway. Its volume and heritage character impose precise installation rules.

Our workshops and offices in Paris and Lyon enable us to deliver and assemble quickly. For a protected hall, rigging, loads, and fire safety are validated in advance with the organizer.

Ecological transition stand: how we work

At a summit dedicated to impact, the stand itself must be consistent: reusable materials, modular structures, low-energy lighting, and limited printing. We design sustainable stands that are easy to reassemble from one edition to the next. Discover our energy, tech, and transition stand page and our custom-made stands.

Tips for exhibiting at World Impact Summit

• Tell about results: visitors expect concrete actions, not just commitments.

• Leverage workshops: a discussion space attracts public and private players.

• Confirm dates early: 2027 dates are to be confirmed: follow the organizer before launching the project.
