Stand builder in Nice
Nice holds its trade shows at the Palais des Expositions, on Parvis de l’Europe, and its congresses at OcéaNice, the congress centre in the harbour. We design stands, plenary sessions and evening events for both venues, and for the city’s hotels too. The sets are made in our Paris-region workshop and put up by our own crews.

Good to know
Exhibiting in Nice: what to know.
01
The Palais des Expositions de Nice
On Parvis de l’Europe, the Palais des Expositions has 17,000 m² of modular space. Its main hall alone is 11,000 m², one single space with no columns under a 21.50 m vault. The building used to form the Acropolis complex with the congress centre next door, which was demolished between 2023 and 2024; only the exhibition hall is left. With that much height, tall structures and rigging are on the table, within each show’s rules.
02
OcéaNice, the congress centre in the harbour
On Quai Amiral Infernet in the port of Nice, OcéaNice groups the Nicéa hall, the Lympia rooms, a roof terrace and outdoor quays in a modular building designed to be taken down entirely. A congress there often mixes exhibition, plenary and reception. We design compact stands for the hall and sets for the plenary, built within the venue’s slots, and we check availability with you before you commit to a date.
03
From the airport: tram, parking, hotels
Tram line 2 runs from Nice Côte d’Azur airport to the Port Lympia stop in 25 minutes with no change, a 5-minute walk from OcéaNice. The Garibaldi stop, on line 1, is under 10 minutes away on foot. For the Palais des Expositions, change at Garibaldi to line 1: about thirty minutes in all, according to the tourist office. No car needed between the plane and the venue. For vehicles, the Palais points to the Jean Bouin (1,900 spaces) and Promenade des Arts car parks. Building at night? Between 8 pm and 7 am, Jean Bouin can only be entered from Rue Jean Allègre, and vans are asked to use the intercom. Parking around OcéaNice is strictly regulated: the nearby Lympia car park has a 2.10 m height limit, and cruise ship operations in the port can change access. Nice has close to 11,700 rooms, 4,000 of them within a 20-minute walk of OcéaNice; near the airport, fifteen hotels are linked to the terminals by free shuttle.
04
Nice, Cannes, Monaco: one team
Nice Côte d’Azur is the airport for the Riviera’s trade shows: the Palais des Festivals in Cannes is less than 30 km away, the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco 25 km. Exhibiting in Cannes or Monaco and entertaining clients in Nice? One project manager looks after both the stand and the evening, and the sets come out of the same workshop.
05
Built near Paris, delivered in a day
Stands and sets are built and pre-assembled in our workshop near Paris, then delivered by road in a day. On site, our crews work alongside the project manager and coordinate the local suppliers, from the caterer to the venue’s technical teams. After the event, everything comes back to the workshop to be stored.

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
Does the Acropolis congress centre still exist?
No. The Acropolis congress centre was demolished between 2023 and 2024. Trade shows are still held at the Palais des Expositions, on Parvis de l’Europe, while congresses go to venues such as OcéaNice, in the harbour. We work in both, and in the city’s hotels.
Do you list trade shows in Nice?
Not in a calendar of their own: ours cover the major Riviera shows in Cannes and Monaco. In Nice, the Allianz Riviera stadium hosts two annual business shows: IBT Côte d’Azur, the B2B show for industry, construction and tech co-organised by the CCI Nice Côte d’Azur (4th edition on 17 November 2026), and Les Entreprenariales, UPE06’s show for local business leaders, whose 25th edition was held on 4 June 2026. Exhibiting there, or holding a congress at OcéaNice? Describe your event and allow 48 business hours for a reply.
Can you organise a corporate convention in Nice?
Yes, from around a hundred participants to more than 1,500: venue search, set design, plenary, technical production and the evening event, at OcéaNice, the Palais des Expositions or a hotel.
