What Les Echos Le Parisien Evénements does

Les Echos Le Parisien Evénements is the events division of LVMH-owned Groupe Les Echos-Le Parisien, organized through two SAS entities (LES ECHOS LE PARISIEN MEDIAS and LES ECHOS SOLUTIONS, each with €40,000 share capital) headquartered at 10 boulevard de Grenelle, Paris. The company produces around ten annual thematic conferences, forums, think tanks, and salons — including Go Entrepreneurs (45,000 attendees in 2024), Inclusiv'Day (inclusion), Investir Day (individual investors), Médias en Seine (media industry), Think Tank RH (HR), Think Tank Economie Santé (health economics), Common Good Summit (CSR), Grand Océan, and Forum National des Associations & Fondations — drawing more than 20,000 participants, 650 speakers, and 300 partners per year.

The underlying technology platform is a video-centric content operation: the company produces over 1,000 video pieces per year (conferences, think tank restitutions, studio interviews, salon coverage) and distributes them through a Replay Platform that supports on-demand access across multiple themes and French regions (Ile-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Pays de la Loire, Normandy, PACA). Distribution is amplified through the parent group's 34 media brands including Les Echos, Le Parisien, Investir, Boursier, Radio Classique, and Mieux Vivre Votre Argent, reaching 25 million French readers monthly.

Revenue is generated through three streams: per-attendee event registration fees (one-time license, paid in euros excluding 20% VAT), B2B corporate sponsorship and partnership packages (stands, speaking slots, branding) sold through a dedicated Direction du Développement & Partenariats sales team, and media content licensing through the parent group's channels. GTM combines enterprise field sales for sponsorships, self-serve online registration for individual attendees, and event-driven demand generation leveraging the group's editorial reach. The events division operates with approximately 64 employees within the broader 1,600-employee media group.
