Heavent Meetings : the One to One exhibition dedicated to Business Tourism and Events

Heavent Meetings brings together strategic decision-makers with verified and approved projects validated by our teams.

The concept is based on 15-minute One to One meetings requested by Top Decision-Makers with suppliers who concretely and innovatively meet their needs, in a 100% business-oriented format.

These meetings take place directly on the exhibitors’ stands, allowing them to also exchange with Top Decision-Makers who are available and genuinely interested in their solutions.

A unique business event in Cannes on 24, 25 and 26 March 2026

Since 2009, Heavent Meetings has established itself as the must-attend exhibition for business tourism and the event industry. Held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès de Cannes, this One to one Meetings event creates real business opportunities between exhibitors and qualified decision-makers.

A 100% ROI concept: the One to one model at the heart of the experience

The exhibition is based on an effective system: pre-scheduled business meetings lasting 15 minutes, between Top Decision Makers with verified projects and targeted exhibitors. Each agenda is personalised according to participants’ needs, thanks to a dedicated matchmaking algorithm developed by Weyou Group.

Premium targeting of Top Decision Makers and qualified exhibitors

The decision-makers come from major companies and key players in the event and MICE industry, both in France and internationally. Profiles include Event Directors, Communication Directors, Marketing Directors, Purchasing Managers, Logistics Managers, Technical Directors, and Project Managers.

A concentration of key players in the event and MICE industry

Heavent Meetings brings together leading suppliers from across the event ecosystem: hotels, convention centres, exhibition venues, event agencies, technical and service providers, digital solutions, entertainment, and innovations. It is the place where industry leaders come together to accelerate their business growth and discover new trends.

Strategic and effective networking

Exhibitors and Top Decision Makers meet in the hotels, at breakfast, and especially during two evening cocktail dinners held in remarkable venues designed to encourage informal and productive exchanges. This networking brings all participants together and helps build long-term business relationships.
The combination of two evening cocktails and one free evening significantly contributes to the event’s ROI. The selected venues foster connection, business and relationship-building, making Heavent Meetings one of the leading events in its market.

Technology, efficiency and experience serving performance

Weyou Group relies on advanced digital tools to ensure a seamless and measurable experience: a meeting management platform, a dedicated mobile application, and an Analytics system for performance tracking. Together, they ensure a measurable and ROI-driven approach.

A leading event in Europe

Recognised throughout the market, Heavent Meetings has become the benchmark event and MICE exhibition in Europe. It combines business efficiency, high-quality networking, and inspiration for all professionals in the sector.

In summary

100% Business, 100% Qualified participants, 100% Networking, 100% Time saving (Top Decision Makers invited), 100% Premium.
