Paris, September 22, 2026 – For several years, there has been a steady stream of promises surrounding the cloud, artificial intelligence, and automation. In 2026, companies are entering a new phase: they must now determine what they can actually deploy, secure, finance, and maintain over the long term. 

It is against this backdrop that Tech Show Paris will open the doors to its 10th edition on November 18 and 19, 2026, at Porte de Versailles in Paris. 

With just a few weeks to go before the event, registration is now open, and the conference program is now available online. 

From Experimentation to Proof: In 2026, Tech Enters the Era of Trade-offs 

The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence today requires decisions that go far beyond simply choosing a technology. 

A technically promising project may not generate enough value. A high-performance solution may become too costly when scaled up. An architecture may create new dependencies or complicate regulatory compliance. And every new digital use case now raises questions about computing capacity, security, energy, and resilience. 

For technology decision-makers, the challenge is therefore no longer just to innovate, but to make trade-offs. 

ROI, sovereignty, cybersecurity, regulation, cost control, sustainability, and the ability to maintain systems over the long term will thus be at the heart of the 2026 edition. 

Tech Show Paris aims to make these two days a forum where strategies are tested against operational realities, with a strong emphasis on lessons learned and real-world implementations. 

AI, Sovereignty, and Cybersecurity: A Program to Inform Decision-Making 

The 2026 conference program will bring together decision-makers and experts from companies such as Google, BPCE SI, Renault Group, ENGIE, AWS, AstraZeneca, La Poste Groupe, Crédit Agricole, Air France, RATP, and VINCI Energies. 

Among the announced speakers are Fathia Gas, Director of Innovation & the OneGenAI Program at La Poste Group; Aldrick Zappellini, Chief Data & AI Officer of the Crédit Agricole Group; Guillaume Maréchal, CISO of La Poste Group; Ibrahiman Ndiaye, CTO of the RATP Group’s Fabrique Digitale; and Khadija Tighanimine, Head of Business Unit at VINCI Energies. 

Over the course of two days, the conferences will explore topics such as companies’ ability to scale up AI, Europe’s position in the global technology race, the evolution of cyberthreats, and the infrastructure needed to support the explosive growth of digital usage.

In light of the explosive growth in demand for computing capacity and the constraints related to energy, land, and financing, this roundtable discussion will examine the transformations taking place in an industry that has become strategic for the entire digital economy. 

Behind AI Lies a Physical Reality: Capacity, Energy, and Infrastructure 

One of the central themes of this year's event will be precisely to reconnect digital transformation with the infrastructure that makes it possible. 

More powerful AI requires greater computing capacity. This growth, in turn, leads to increased demand for energy, cooling, and infrastructure capable of handling rising workloads. 

Data Center World Paris and Cloud & AI Infrastructure Paris will examine how these ambitions measure up against the realities on the ground. 

Among the scheduled discussions, the roundtable titled “What If the Power Grid Said No?” will directly examine the physical limits that digital growth may face. 

Because technological sovereignty is not limited to where data is stored. It also requires us to consider the infrastructure, the available resources, the providers on whom we depend, and our ability to sustain these choices over the long term. 

Five Domains for Connecting Decisions That Have Become Interdependent 

For its 10th edition, Tech Show Paris will once again bring together five complementary events covering the various aspects of technological transformation: 

Cloud & AI Infrastructure Paris, dedicated to cloud architectures and the infrastructure required for new applications of AI; 

DevOps Live Paris, focusing on DevOps, DevSecOps, platform engineering, automation, and software deployment; 

Cloud & Cyber Security Expo Paris, focused on cybersecurity, compliance, governance, and resilience; 

Data & AI Leaders Summit Paris, dedicated to data, AI governance, and the transition from experimentation to value-creating applications; 

Data Center World Paris, dedicated to the physical infrastructure essential to the functioning of the digital economy. 

This structure reflects a reality that has become undeniable: none of these decisions can now be made in isolation. 

Industrializing AI requires reliable data and a suitable infrastructure. Scaling up requires capacity. This growth must be secure and well-governed, while remaining economically and energetically sustainable. 

The 10th edition is also transforming the Tech Show Paris experience 

To mark its 10th anniversary, Tech Show Paris will feature a new two-story layout at Paris Porte de Versailles and will expand its programming designed to foster dialogue among decision-makers, experts, and companies. 

Among the main highlights of the 2026 edition: 

Eight conference theaters, featuring programs focused on the major technological and operational challenges facing the market; 

The Executive Club, featuring roundtable discussions among peers and technical workshops, designed to foster more direct exchanges on common issues between senior decision-makers and experts in a dedicated setting;  

The Immersive Hub Data Center, an immersive experience focused on critical scenarios and infrastructure resilience; 

Two VIP areas: the VIP Lounge at Tech Show Paris and the VIP Lounge at Data Centre World Paris; 

A space dedicated to startups, to give emerging players in the ecosystem greater visibility; 

The Cybersecurity Awards, which will highlight initiatives and solutions focused on innovation, resilience, and new cybersecurity challenges; 

Women & Diversity in Tech, featuring presentations and networking sessions focused on diversity and a more inclusive tech industry; 

Connect at Tech Show Paris to identify the right contacts in advance, plan your schedule, and organize your meetings during the event. 

The goal: to enable participants to do more than just attend a program; rather, to help them design a personalized path tailored to their challenges, goals, and priorities. 

A tech ecosystem that is already up and running 

In 2025, Tech Show Paris welcomed more than 7,900 unique visitors, more than 310 exhibitors, and more than 340 speakers. 

More than 1,600 meetings were also arranged between visitors and exhibitors, confirming the event’s commitment to prioritizing the quality of these interactions and access to decision-makers. 

With eight weeks to go before the 2026 event, the ecosystem is already fully engaged. 

Registered professionals include representatives from La Banque Postale, AXA, SFR, Pfizer, Air France, and the Ministry of Regional Planning, along with numerous decision-makers from major corporations, institutions, and technology-using companies.  

The exhibition space, for its part, will reflect the diversity of Tech Show Paris’s five themes. Notable participants include Nokia, Google Chrome for Enterprise, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Thales, EDF, Free Pro, NinjaOne, Datadog, VINCI Energies, Vertiv, and Total Energies, with expertise ranging from the cloud and infrastructure to cybersecurity, DevOps, data, and critical environments. 

This diversity of stakeholders is at the heart of the mission of this 10th edition: to bring together in one place those who make technology decisions, those who implement them, and those who develop the solutions needed for their deployment. 

“After a decade of rapid technological advancement, we are entering a phase of maturity. Companies are no longer just looking to understand what AI, the cloud, or data make possible—they need to determine what they can actually deploy, secure, and maintain over the long term. For this 10th edition, we want Tech Show Paris to be the place where these choices are discussed based on real-world experiences and where the entire technology ecosystem can come together.”
