Trade shows in Paris in September 2026 are mainly concentrated at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles: Who’s Next from the 5th to the 7th, followed by IFTM, NRF, and Big Data & AI Paris in mid-September, and then Batimat starting on the 28th. For this type of trip, choosing a comfortable hotel close to the event venue is essential. From Beaugrenelle, the Esteem Tour Eiffel offers easy access to Porte de Versailles while still being ideally located for exploring Paris after a day at the trade show.
From Saturday, September 5, through Monday, September 7, 2026, Who’s Next kicks off the event schedule in Hall 1 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Under a single badge, the event brings together fashion buyers as well as Bijorhca, Interfilière Paris, and Shoppe Object Paris.
The doors are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday. Admission is restricted to fashion industry professionals; badges can be requested online before the event.

NRF Retail’s Big Show Europe takes place on the same dates as IFTM, in Halls 4 and 6 at Paris Expo. The event is strictly for retail and distribution professionals, which makes it particularly important to request your pass in advance.

An Opening Party, taking place from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., will extend the first day’s festivities. If you’re attending the party, our taxi or motorcycle taxi reservation service can help you arrange your return trip without having to worry about catching a late connection.
Big Data & AI Paris will take place on Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, 2026, once again at Porte de Versailles. The trade show, which focuses on the professional applications of data, artificial intelligence, and analytics, is refocusing its 2026 edition on corporate decision-makers.
Both days run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The program distinguishes between conferences accessible with a Full Pass or a VIP Pass, while also offering workshops and startup presentations open to all pass holders. For teams attending multiple conferences, our business corner, free Wi-Fi, and printing service at the reception desk meet their preparation needs between days.

Exhibitors can enter the venue starting at 7 a.m. on Monday, the 28th, and at 8 a.m. on the following three days.
