Can you tell us a bit more about BEAM and the facilities you operate?

Bordeaux Events And More is our new identity, embodying our ambition to promote the Bordeaux brand, our clients, our partners and our events.

We can offer a comprehensive package of services for all events hosting between 20 and 50,000 people, thanks to the diversity and flexibility of our 5 emblematic facilities: Bordeaux Exhibition Centre, Palais 2 l'Atlantique, Bordeaux Congress Centre, Hangar 14 and the Cité Mondiale Congress Centre.

We design and deliver events on a local, national and international scale: the Foire de Bordeaux, Home, Salon du Jardin, Jumping International de Bordeaux, Bad+, Vinitech-Sifel, Exp’Hôtel…

We are also very serious about the social and environmental decisions we make. We want more impact, more memorable experiences and less ecological damage. We are ISO 20121 certified, and fully committed to making the events sector more environmentally responsible.

How does your collaboration with BCB work on a day-to-day basis?

We invite them to take part in our location scouting efforts, and we share their details with our clients so they know where to get the best information on “destination Bordeaux” as well as the latest “welcome packs,” including services such as welcome desks at the train station and the airport, free tram tickets etc.
