Any registration after July 31, 2026, must be accompanied by the full amount due from the exhibitor.

Can we choose our location?

The trade fair organizer remains the decision maker on the location of the stands and operates according to the following process:

◗ Regional pavilions and international pavilions occupying several blocks are set up as a priority

◗ The following are then taken into account in the implementation work: the date of receipt of the complete file including payment, the technical prerogatives linked to the stand, the sectorization and the competition issues.

Requests for location, proximity or distance from other companies are possible, the organizer will do its best to take them into consideration but cannot commit to respecting them. However, remember to notify them. For any location that does not satisfy the exhibitor, the organizer will offer, to the extent possible, a maximum of 2 other choices.

Are there any group stands/pavilions?

Regional authorities are setting up collective pavilions. This allows you to benefit from excellent visibility and also to be supported throughout your preparation for the show. We can provide you with the contact information of the organization responsible for organizing your regional pavilion upon request.

Can we share a stand with other exhibitors?

It is entirely possible to share your stand with one or more companies. Each co-exhibitor must return a co-exhibitor registration form to the show organizer, along with certificates and product information. This will validate the co-exhibitor's commitment to the show and their compliance with Natexpo's internal regulations. A registration fee for each co-exhibitor must be paid by the main exhibitor or co-exhibitors.
