The Palais des Congrès de Paris, operated by Viparis, stands at Porte Maillot on the western edge of the 17th arrondissement. It is the capital's reference venue for corporate conventions, general assemblies and international congresses, with several auditoriums, a large exhibition level and a direct link to the hotels and transport hub of Porte Maillot.
The Grand Amphithéâtre seats 3,723 in full configuration and 1,813 in half-capacity mode, with a stage of about 1,200 m². The Blue Amphitheatre seats 826. Level 1 offers 9,140 m² of exhibition space across four halls, and Level 2 a further 5,140 m² in one hall, alongside conference rooms ranging from 95 to 1,128 seats on Level 1 and from 120 to 380 seats on Level 2.
For an international delegation, the practical advantage is the single-site format: plenary, breakout rooms, catering and exhibition under one roof, with Paris hotels and the Champs-Élysées within reach by metro or on foot. Dates are heavily booked in autumn and spring; early reservation is advised.

Direct access from Porte Maillot (metro line 1, RER C and E, tramway T3b). Roissy–Charles de Gaulle is roughly 45 minutes by car outside peak hours; the Champs-Élysées and La Défense are a few minutes away.
