What Réseau Oudinot does

Réseau Oudinot is a Paris-based non-profit association (Loi 1901) founded in 2004 that operates a professional network for experienced executives, managers, and directors, with a particular focus on TPE/PME leaders. The organization runs 200+ events and workshops per year, organized across 30+ specialized commissions covering functional and sectoral topics. Its flagship offering is the Rencontres Annuelles, an annual gathering that drew 250+ attendees at its 21st edition in October 2025 and is scheduled for its 22nd edition on October 14, 2026, with economist Patrick Artus as keynote. Complementary formats include themed workshops (e.g., ChatGPT, LinkedIn) and the Speed Networking Franco-Allemand cross-border matchmaking format launched in 2023.

The core commercial products are the Oudinot 360° partnership program and membership/event fees, with non-member tickets for the Annual Rencontres priced at 65€. Distribution is reinforced through bilateral partnerships with five French chambers of commerce — Franco-British, Franco-Canadian, Franco-German, Franco-Spanish, and Franco-Irish — collectively providing access to more than 3,000 companies. Additional institutional partners (e.g., XpertZon) are integrated via Oudinot 360°.

The organization employs 16 staff in Paris and operates on a community-association cost structure funded primarily through individual membership dues, event fees, and institutional partner contributions. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or financial disclosures are present in the available data.
