Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales 2026

Cooler housing, reused urban sites and simpler public transport payments: explore practical choices facing local authorities at the Paris exhibition.

About this event

A town’s next investment can affect how people live for decades. At the Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales, elected representatives and local-government teams can examine concrete responses to challenges in housing, mobility and public services, alongside suppliers and professional organisations. The 2026 programme includes a session on adapting social housing to heatwaves and a presentation on the redevelopment of a former military site in Verdun. Other discussions examine contactless payments on public transport and the use of artificial intelligence in local areas. These are useful starting points for comparing approaches: what a project changes for residents, how it fits a place and which expertise it requires. The exhibition extends across energy, climate, biodiversity, culture, leisure and events. Visitors can combine programme sessions with conversations about the equipment and services behind local projects, keeping their own community’s priorities at the centre of the visit. Admission is free for professional visitors with a badge. Register through the official badge platform; badges are also available at the reception desks. The separate Congrès des Maires requires its own accreditation. Exhibitor pricing and participation details are available from the organiser.
