Sustainable, high-quality events

In 2022 we launched “Bordeaux Bienvenue", a 360° initiative aimed at guaranteeing sustainable, high-quality conditions for professional events on a large scale. The idea is to simplify the process of organising professional events, optimising the experience for participants and forging links with territorial stakeholders for an events strategy which is more forward-thinking and more respectful of the local economic and social environment.

For events matching the scheme’s criteria, Bordeaux Bienvenue offers a number of potential advantages such as guaranteed availability and prices for accommodation thanks to our hotel charter, or free use of public transport, or special signs and banners around the city, at the station and at the airport, as well as essential advice on venues and contacts with local politicians etc.

“Bordeaux Bienvenue” is also the name of a collective encompassing all of the institutional and professional actors involved in events organization in and around Bordeaux, united by a commitment to welcoming participants in the best possible conditions.
