About this event

Running an event business involves more than delivering great services. Finding clients, managing finances, building visibility and choosing the right digital tools are everyday challenges for independent professionals. Salon SME 2026 brings entrepreneurs and small-business owners together in Paris on 13–14 October for conferences, workshops and practical advice on developing their businesses. Planète micro-entreprise, part of Ideal Connaissances, organises the event. The published programme includes conferences, workshops and expert advice on electronic invoicing, financing, personal branding, digital communication and business development. An independent supplier can choose sessions relevant to a current challenge, compare support solutions and meet other founders with similar concerns. The event also welcomes business creators and people preparing to become independent. Visitor admission is free with advance registration for independent professionals, small-business leaders, business creators and organisations supporting entrepreneurship. Download your badge in advance; on-site badge printing is unavailable. Exhibitor participation details are available from the organiser. Opening hours are 09:00–18:00 on both days, Paris local time. The salon takes place on level 3 of the Palais des Congrès, 2 Place de la Porte Maillot.
