Your stand at SIAL Paris 2028
SIAL Paris is one of the world’s largest food trade shows: entire halls of exhibitors and buyers from every continent looking for tomorrow’s products. To stand out, a stand must offer tastings, reassure on quality and host dozens of meetings a day. The 2028 edition, from 22 to 26 October, will run across two sites as one single event: Paris Nord Villepinte and Paris-Le Bourget.
