Eurexpo Lyon: 150,000 m² in Chassieu

On Boulevard de l’Europe in Chassieu, Lyon’s exhibition centre covers about 150,000 m², split into seven modular halls of 3,208 to 14,824 m². If you are driving a truck, forget the visitor entrances: exhibitors take the A46 (Rocade Est) to exit 9, then the Porte Est Exposants gate on Avenue Louis Blériot. The build-up and breakdown pass comes from the show organiser. Power, plumbing, compressed air, floor fixings and rigging are ordered on the venue’s technical sheets, and we fill those in for you.

Eurexpo’s calendar: mostly odd years

Sirha Lyon opens the year in January, BePOSITIVE follows in spring, Pollutec comes in October and Solutrans in November. All four are biennial and fall in odd years. Global Industrie runs every year, alternating between Eurexpo and Paris Nord Villepinte, and Natexpo comes to Lyon in even years. Exhibiting at more than one? Design a modular stand once and we reconfigure it from one hall to the next.

The Centre de Congrès at the Cité Internationale

At 50 quai Charles de Gaulle, on the banks of the Rhône, the Centre de Congrès has 24,000 m² of modular space, 8,400 m² of it for exhibitions, and three auditoriums seating 300, 900 and 3,000. Wealth management professionals meet there for Patrimonia every year, at the end of September or the start of October. Expect more compact stands than at Eurexpo. Three car parks sit a three-minute walk away, all limited to 1.90 m in height except P2, at 2.70 m. If your team comes by van, that detail matters.

Travel and hotels around Eurexpo

Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport is around twenty minutes from the venue; the Part-Dieu, Perrache and Saint-Exupéry TGV stations are 20 to 30 minutes away. Tram T5 stops at Eurexpo Lyon, and during major events a special shuttle bus leaves from Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie. For hotels, the venue counts 2,200 rooms within 8 km. At the Centre de Congrès, 500 rooms are on site and around a thousand within a ten-minute walk.

From our workshop to Chassieu

Eurexpo puts the drive from Paris at about 4 hours. Your stand leaves our workshop pre-assembled, checked and packed in the order it will go up. It comes in through the Porte Est Exposants gate on your slot, and the project manager who led the 3D design runs the build-up on site. For a machine or a heavy stand, we bring in the venue’s approved handling companies to unload, store the empty packaging and reload the truck. Once the show closes, the stand heads back to the workshop.
