IT conferences & tech events in Paris (2026) — Calendar

If scale matters

Anchor on VivaTech, Jun 17–20

Europe's biggest tech & startup show at Porte de Versailles — 10th anniversary edition. The floor and the after-hours are the reason to go; talks are background ^[1]^[2]^[25].

If depth matters

Pick Devoxx France, Apr 22–24

240 talks, ~4,600 devs, Palais des Congrès. The seriously-technical alternative — Java leans heaviest but every stack shows up ^[3]^[4].

If May 28–31 is fixed

There's a conference gap.

No headline event lands on the anchor weekend. Bridge with AI Tinkerers evenings or Station F's rolling programme — or shift +3 weeks to VivaTech ^[21]^[26].

VivaTech

Paris Expo Porte de Versailles · M12

10th anniversary edition. Founders, corporates, investors, public sector — all on one floor. Closer to a trade-show-meets-keynote-festival than a developer conference. Best paired with a Michelin dinner because the show ends early enough most evenings ^[1]^[2]^[25].

Devoxx France

Palais des Congrès, Porte Maillot · M1 / RER C

14th edition · 240 talks · ~4,600 attendees · French and English. The seriously-technical alternative to VivaTech — Java leans heaviest but every stack shows up. Hotels near Porte Maillot fill fast ^[3]^[4].

No headline event

No conference falls on the anchor weekend — but two community grades fill the room.

The fillers are community-grade, not destination-grade. Useful for an evening; not a reason to book the trip.

Station F · Events

Rolling event calendar across the campus's Open Platform, Google Office, Junior Stage and Central Room. Evenings on May 27-28 and Jun 1-2 visible on the public schedule ^[26].

AI Tinkerers Paris

Ran Conversational DevOps & AI Infrastructure on May 21. Next sessions land roughly monthly, demo-only, free, technical screening ^[21].

If the weekend is flexible: shift +3 weeks to VivaTech (Jun 17–20). Same Porte de Versailles 15e arrondissement; same early-evening close; same Michelin-dinner pairing math ^[1].
