EquipHotel 2026: A Major Event for the Hospitality and Restaurant Industries

From November 2 to 5, 2026, EquipHotel will kick off the month with one of Europe’s leading professional events dedicated to the hospitality and restaurant industries.

Held every two years, the trade show brings together professionals from across the hospitality sector. Investors, owners, operators, consultants and suppliers come to discover new solutions and developments shaping the industry.

Interior and exterior design, food service, wellness, technology, equipment and new professional practices are among the key topics explored during the event. Round tables, conferences, networking opportunities and exhibition areas also provide an opportunity to understand the trends currently transforming the hospitality and restaurant sectors.

The 2026 edition will take place in Pavilions 4, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, making Hôtel La Conversation a particularly convenient option for professionals attending the event.

RENT 2026: Where Real Estate Meets New Technology

While EquipHotel is still underway, another major professional event will arrive at Porte de Versailles.

On November 4 and 5, 2026, RENT – Real Estate & New Technologies – will bring together real estate and PropTech professionals in Pavilion 6.

Real estate agents, developers, property managers, investors, local authorities, start-ups and technology providers will meet to discuss the ongoing transformation of the industry.

A few days later, the focus shifts to technology with Tech Show Paris, taking place on November 18 and 19, 2026.

For its tenth anniversary, the event will bring together professionals driving major technological transformations within businesses at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.

Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, DevOps, data and data centre infrastructure will be at the heart of this edition. Tech Show Paris actually brings together five complementary events accessible with a single badge: Cloud & AI Infrastructure, DevOps Live, Cloud & Cyber Security, Data & AI Leaders Summit and Data Centre World.

CIOs, CTOs, cybersecurity professionals, data specialists, developers, cloud architects and technology project managers will be able to discover new solutions, attend expert talks and meet leading players from across the industry.

Salon des Maires 2026: Shaping the Future of Local Communities

November will conclude with another major event: the Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales, taking place from November 24 to 26, 2026 in Pavilion 7.

This edition will take place in the context of newly elected municipal teams and will bring together elected representatives, public-sector decision-makers, businesses, associations and institutional partners.

Under the theme “L’audace est locale”, the event will showcase solutions designed to help local authorities respond to the transformation of their communities. Housing, mobility, healthcare, the environment, education, culture, digital technology and security will be among the major topics addressed.

The Salon des Maires therefore provides an important meeting place for public-sector stakeholders and companies developing practical solutions for local communities. The event will run from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on November 24 and 25, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on November 26.

Why Stay Near Paris Expo Porte de Versailles?

Attending a professional trade show often means an early start, several hours spent walking through exhibition halls and sometimes continuing the day with meetings or networking events.

In this context, reducing travel time can make a real difference.

Hôtel La Conversation is located on rue des Favorites in Paris’s 15th arrondissement, close to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The exhibition centre can be reached in around ten minutes by tram and approximately twenty minutes on foot.

This location makes it easy to reach the trade shows in the morning while staying in a neighbourhood away from the immediate bustle of the exhibition centre.

After a full day of conferences, meetings and professional networking, guests can return to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of La Conversation. The hotel therefore offers a convenient base for both visitors and exhibitors looking to combine efficiency and comfort during their business trip.

Extend Your Paris Stay with a Third Night Free

A business trip can also be an opportunity to enjoy more of Paris. For stays between October 18 and April 30, Hôtel La Conversation offers guests the chance to stay for three nights while paying for only two, subject to the offer’s terms and availability.

This offer can be particularly attractive for visitors attending the November trade shows.

The additional night can give guests the opportunity to arrive the day before an event without rushing, extend their stay after several busy professional days or simply spend more time discovering the French capital.

From the 15th arrondissement, public transport provides easy access to many of Paris’s main neighbourhoods. After the excitement of Porte de Versailles, an extra night can transform a business trip into a more complete Parisian experience.

Plan Your Stay for the November 2026 Trade Shows in Paris

With EquipHotel from November 2 to 5, RENT on November 4 and 5, Tech Show Paris on November 18 and 19, and the Salon des Maires from November 24 to 26, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles will host some of the major professional events of autumn 2026.

For exhibitors and visitors alike, planning accommodation in advance can make these busy days easier to manage.

Thanks to its location in the 15th arrondissement and its proximity to Porte de Versailles, Hôtel La Conversation provides a convenient base for attending the major trade shows in November 2026 while enjoying a more relaxing stay in Paris.

And with the 3 nights for the price of 2 offer, valid for stays from October 18 to April 30, a few days of business in Paris can also become an opportunity to extend the conversation… and your stay.
