More than 28 suppliers from all over France will come to London this month to take part in a workshop, France for You, at the London Renaissance St Pancras Hotel.

Event buyers are invited to come along on 29 March for short pre-scheduled appointments, allowing them to meet the 'crème de la crème' of the French events industry in one afternoon.

“We have invested £5,000 into a specially designed user-friendly online platform, through which visitors can see the list of exhibitors, their description and make a meeting,” said Fidan Agalarowa, head of business tourism & travel trade, Atout France. “The workshop is organised during the afternoon, so event planners can be out of the office only half a day and make up to 12 meetings in the sumptuous surroundings of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel.”

She added: “The networking evening will be held in the famous Hansom Hall and we have prepared a lot of surprises. For example, a new interactive Disney Park visit by Disney Business Solutions, or the Cannes' Walk of Fame, a wine tasting from Rhone-Alpes or a beer tasting from North of France.”

There will also be a prize draw offering the chance to win a stay at five different hotels. Exhibitors span hotels, DMCs and convention bureaux, including the Cannes Convention Bureau, Saint-Tropez Tourisme, Marseille Congres Convention Bureau, So Toulouse Convention Bureau, Only Lyon, Nord France Convention Bureau and Le Touquet Paris-Plage Tourism.

The event starts at 2.30pm. To register contact Julie Mayeras via email: julie.mayeras@atout-france.fr or telephone: 0207 061 6607.
