DEVELOPMENTS IN 2024, CONFIRMED IN 2026
New show days
In 2024, to improve visitor reception and simplify logistics for our exhibitors, the show's opening days have changed. In 2026, we will once again be open on Tuesday June 2 and Wednesday June 3, from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, and on Thursday June 4, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Visibility & sectoring
The growth of the Carrefour International du Bois in recent editions is an opportunity that we seized in 2024 to improve product visibility and the visitor experience. The show was therefore organized by major sectors* in new exhibition halls.
- Hall1 - Flooring
- Hall 2 - Panels
- Grand Palais & Mezzanine - Construction & Services
- Hall XXL - Sawmilling, Forestry, Timber Trade
* Sectors were assigned automatically when exhibitors chose their main activity in the nomenclature.
Stand size
From the outset, stands were limited to 36m2 per company. Visibility and product presentation requirements have changed to better meet exhibitors' needs, so a new maximum surface area of 54m2 was proposed for the 2024 edition. This will be the case again for the next edition in June 2026.
