In 2027, LE CARREFOUR DE L’AGRI becomes LE FORUM. While the name is changing, the momentum remains the same: inspiring conferences, corporate events, networking sessions and exclusive gatherings at the Pavilion 5.

Building on their success at the former SIA’PRO in 2025 and 2026, the conferences hosted by Marie-Laure Hustache, Pierre Compère and Alain Savary will now take place at the Agora, alternating with presentations from exhibitors and partners.

These sessions, which attract a large number of professionals from across the agricultural sector, will now be open to all Show visitors. This editorial programme will help strengthen the appeal of the FORUM and drive increased visitor traffic to the heart of this dedicated space.

In 2026, LE CARREFOUR DE L’AGRI hosted a wide range of conferences, as well as the third edition of the GAIA Hackathon on artificial intelligence in agriculture, organised in partnership with La Ferme Digitale and OSFarm.

Highlights
