Le Meet
The places of exhibitions. Le Meet de Toulouse.
Toulouse Exhibition Center and Convention Center
The MEETT Toulouse, also known as the Parc des Expositions et Center de Conventions de Toulouse, is one of the largest exhibition and conference centers in France.
It was inaugurated in November 2020 and immediately attracted attention due to its modern infrastructure and facilities.
We operate throughout the year on this site as part of our furniture rental business.
Historical
The MEETT was built on the site of the former Toulouse exhibition center, which had been built in the 1980s. Over the years, the fairgrounds had grown and hosted many major events, but it had become outdated and needed an upgrade. In 2012, the local authorities decided to build a new exhibition and conference center, which was to be larger, more modern and more functional than the old exhibition center.
The construction of the MEETT began in 2017 and cost nearly 313 million euros.
The exhibition and conference center was inaugurated in November 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many planned events had to be postponed.
Direction
The MEETT Toulouse is managed by the Société Anonyme d’Economie Mixte Locale Toulouse Evénements, which is owned equally by the city of Toulouse and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Toulouse. The company is managed by a board of directors made up of representatives of both parties.
Important fairs
The MEETT has already hosted several important trade shows since its opening, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In November 2020, the exhibition and conference center hosted the Salon de l’Immobilier de Toulouse, which attracted more than 7,000 visitors. In December 2020, MEETT hosted the Occitanie Pyrénées-Méditerranée Agricultural Show, which was organized in partnership with the region’s Chamber of Agriculture.
In March 2021, the MEETT hosted the Toulouse Game Show, which is one of the biggest video game events in France. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the show managed to attract over 23,000 visitors and offered online talks for fans who were unable to attend in person.
The MEETT also hosted the Salon de la Moto de Toulouse in April 2021, which was organized by Moto Journal magazine and attracted thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts.

The MEETT is an exhibition and conference center that offers modern and functional facilities for events of all sizes.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges for the exhibition and conference centre, these have been overcome and a promising future is opening up for the events sector in the region.
The MEETT remains a destination of choice for professional events, trade fairs and international conferences.
