Your stand at TRUSTECH 2026
Launched as CARTES Secure Connexions and renamed in 2016, TRUSTECH brings payment and identification technology to Paris: cards, terminals, biometrics, digital identity and fraud prevention. Comexposium runs it in Pavilion 5.2 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, from 1 to 3 December 2026. In 2025, 197 exhibitors, 82% of them from outside France, welcomed 7,700 participants from 104 countries. Your buyers here are banks, governments and operators, so the stand has to say security as clearly as it says innovation.

The challenges
Making your stand a success at TRUSTECH
Our advice
At TRUSTECH, bare space only starts at 24 m²: below that, an equipped stand is compulsory. For an architecture that truly reflects your brand, think from 36 m² upwards, with a demo counter at the front and a closed room at the back for sensitive meetings. Bare-stand plans have to be submitted to the organiser, so build that step into your design schedule.
- 01Explaining invisible technology (a chip, a protocol, a fraud engine) with a demo people grasp in a minute
- 02Hosting banks and public bodies in a space where the conversation stays confidential
- 03Addressing a largely international audience, with a team and materials designed in English first

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
When is TRUSTECH 2026?
TRUSTECH 2026 takes place from 1 to 3 December 2026 (Paris Expo Porte de Versailles). Dates checked on the organiser’s official website on 9 November 2026.
How much does a stand at TRUSTECH cost?
Design, build, installation and dismantling included, allow €18k to €48k excl. VAT for a 36 m² stand, €25k to €70k excl. VAT for a 54 m² stand and €44k to €128k excl. VAT for a 100 m² stand. Floor space, charged per m² by the organiser, and its technical services (electricity, rigging) come on top.
From what size can we build our own stand at TRUSTECH?
According to the organiser’s published offer, bare space is available from 24 m². From 9 to 23.9 m², an equipped package is compulsory: on those stands we can work on signage, furniture and screens, within the rules.
How can we demonstrate a payment or identity flow without exposing data?
We keep demo stations out of the aisle traffic and work with the dummy data sets you provide. Sensitive screens face the inside of the stand and network cables run through the furniture.
Is TRUSTECH the former CARTES show?
Yes. The event started as CARTES Secure Connexions and took the TRUSTECH name in 2016. It remains focused on payment and identification, with two conference rooms (Pay Room and ID Room), an Innovation Stage and Innovation Awards.
