In 2026, the Mondial du Bâtiment will become the Paris Builders Show. Beyond a name change, the Paris Builders Show embodies a new ambition: offering the only international event in France capable of bringing together all industry players around a forward-looking, collective and operational vision.
A true global summit for the building industry, the Paris Builders Show brings together the broadest and most complementary range of expertise, solutions and opportunities for discussion through its iconic trade shows BATIMAT, IDÉOBAIN and INTERCLIMA which are now joined by the RENODAYS Forum.
Organised in Paris from 28th September to 1st October 2026, and covering 5 halls of the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre, the Paris Builders Show expects more than 135,000 French and international participants.
“Faced with profound changes in the sector and new global economic challenges, the Paris Builders Show is now establishing itself as a unique venue for meetings, convergences and exchanges, with a distinctly international dimension. More than just an association of trade shows, it is a genuine community commitment designed to support building professionals in transforming their business models. Under the theme “Building in Motion”, the 2026 edition will be structured around three strategic axes that will be reflected in an exceptional programme featuring over 500 talks. This event is designed to be a major platform for acceleration featuring many unprecedented highlights, including the major political debate ahead of the presidential election. A decisive moment to place the challenges facing our industry at the heart of the national debate.” – Jean-Philippe Guillon, Director of Paris Builders Show.
A unique experience in the world, structured around four pillars
Envisaged as a catalyst for solutions and an accelerator for transformations in the building industry of today and tomorrow, the Paris Builders Show offers a comprehensive experience tailored for professionals, structured around four fundamental pillars:
● The Community
Paris Builders Show places the builders’ community at the heart of its DNA. The event fosters networking, the sharing of experiences, and cooperation among all stakeholders involved in building construction and renovation through formats designed to form connections: Builders Cafés in each exhibition hall, informal events, collaborative workshops, thematic forums and highlights dedicated to networking. The integration of RENODAYS strengthens this community dynamic around the major challenges of renovation.
● Performance
The performance pillar is reflected in the emphasis on concrete and effective solutions that enhance the environmental, economic and operational performance of projects. Paris Builders Show also supports the business performance of exhibitors and visitors through targeted itineraries, high-value content and initiatives that encourage meaningful connections.
● Inspiration
A source of inspiration for the entire profession, the Paris Builders Show offers rich and engaging event programming: over 500 conferences on the theme of building in motion, live demonstrations, Innovation Awards, thematic routes and forward-looking talks. The event sheds light on emerging trends and fosters new narratives to imagine the future of building.
● International
The international pillar is a key structuring axis of the Paris Builders Show 2026. The event affirms its global ambition through a bilingual exhibition experience, international conferences, dedicated visitor routes and an international tour, “the Builders Roadshow”, designed to promote the entire event internationally and strengthen exchanges and cooperation among French and international players.
Strengthened international ambition
This international dimension enriches the BATIMAT, IDÉOBAIN, INTERCLIMA trade shows and the RENODAYS Forum with a dual objective:
- For exhibitors: easier access to key international players, the ability to test markets and find partners, distributors and suppliers.
- For visitors: access to diverse and rich content, available in a bilingual version, with specific visitor routes and two days of international conferences.
To support this ambition, the Paris Builders Show teams will embark on an international tour called “the Builders Roadshow”, which will take place from February to May 2026 and pass through Italy, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Tunisia, Morocco…
More than just a presentation, this approach involves genuine field work. By meeting local industry professionals to exchange ideas and understand their specific challenges, the Paris Builders Show community is built well before the doors open in Paris. The objective is twofold: to identify the most inspiring international initiatives and to invite these experts to Paris to compare their visions with those of other markets. This dialogue will take place during round tables dedicated in particular to comprehensive renovation in Europe and sustainable construction outside Europe.
At the heart of the event, the International Club (Pavilion 7.3) stands out as the preferred meeting point for international visitors. This spacious and welcoming area, spanning over 200 square metres, is primarily designed to offer visitors a personalised welcome and foster networking among the numerous delegations in attendance. Also open to exhibitors, the Club offers a dedicated speaking programme, transforming this meeting place into a true hub for strategic exchanges.
RENODAYS joins Paris Builders Show for two days (28th and 29th September) and becomes an annual event
Renovation is emerging as a major challenge for the building sector. By integrating the RENODAYS Forum and making it an annual event, Paris Builders Show 2026 affirms its commitment to giving this strategic market its rightful place.
By placing residents at the heart of each project, RENODAYS promotes a vision of renovation that is social, innovative and strategic, capable of creating long-term value while adapting to new ways of life. To achieve this, it will address a variety of topics, including: energy performance; comfort in living and working spaces; quality of use and health in buildings; adaptation of housing and spaces; property value and management; digital technology, data and circularity.
The RENODAYS Forum will rely on interactive speaking formats with high added value (workshops, masterclasses, Renotalks, renovation café) and will gather around fifty exhibitors in the heart of Pavilion 7.1 on 28th and 29th September.
Note that European issues will also be addressed following the meetings and conferences organised during the Builders Roadshow.
Rethinking, Restoring, Reinventing: Buildings in motion, serving the future
Paris Builders Show 2026 is establishing itself as the catalyst for a renewed vision: that of a “building in motion”. More than just a structure, construction becomes a living flow that evolves with its environment and its users. This cross-functional vision is based on three strategic pillars to guide the industry towards sustainable and agile transformation.
● Rethinking
Rethinking construction in line with the new challenges of the sector: digitalisation, data-driven management, evolution of construction methods, transformation of professions, responsibilities and governance.
● Restoring
Restoring existing structures by making renovation a central lever for performance and sustainability. Energy renovation, circular economy, reuse, preservation and transmission of heritage are key themes of this focus area, reinforced by the integration of the RENODAYS Forum.
● Reinventing
Reinventing building models, uses and narratives of the building through committed architecture, responsible design and new ways of living, in line with societal, cultural and generational expectations.

A press-dating event will be held on 2nd July in Paris to allow the finalists to present their solutions to the media in advance.
At the exhibitions, interactive kiosks will showcase innovations and new products across all the pavilions through video pitches, downloadable descriptions and more. The awards ceremony is scheduled for 28th September at the event.
Conviviality takes centre stage
While the Paris Builders Show is a place for information and training, it is also a friendly space where participants have ample opportunity to meet and exchange ideas in more informal settings. It is in this spirit that the Builders Cafés, featured at each show, have been designed to encourage networking and coworking.
Visitors and exhibitors also have a wide range of food and drink options available at open-air cafés and food trucks, both inside and outside the exhibition areas, where they can refresh and continue their discussions.
Many institutions, organisations and media outlets also take advantage of these four days to celebrate anniversaries, meet their members and organise their meetings.
And to make it easier for visitors to attend events, BATIMAT and INTERCLIMA are renewing their group train travel programme from major provincial cities for more than 2,000 visitors.
