Your stand at Paris Games Week 2026
Paris Games Week is France’s biggest video game show: every autumn, publishers, hardware makers and brands welcome hundreds of thousands of players at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, with a record 317,000 visitors in 2019. Stands are real attractions, with queues, giant screens, esports stages and play areas. Your stand must absorb the crowds while offering an experience people want to share.

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
Can you integrate gaming stations and an esports stage?
Yes. We design the gaming stations, stage, screens and control room, with the power supply, cabling and ventilation they need, in line with the show’s rules.
How do you manage queues on the stand?
We design queues built into the stand, with content to watch while waiting and a separate exit, to keep the flow smooth and safe.
