New journey, same passion: the Paris International Agricultural Show reinvents itself
The upcoming demolition of Pavilions 2 and 3 has prompted organizers to rethink France’s leading trade show—without compromising on visitor satisfaction, comfort, safety, or security!
New layout for #SIA!
The third and final phase of the modernization works at the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Center will alter the organization of the Paris International Agricultural Show (SIA) for three editions, from 2026 to 2028. Its organizers are turning this new configuration into an opportunity to rethink France’s leading trade show.
With a redesigned visitor route, the international pavilions and the regional pavilions of France will be grouped together to form a large “Products” hub, occupying the entire Pavilion 7 alongside the General Agricultural Competition for Products and Wines.
This means that discovery, tasting, and promotion of products from mainland France, the French overseas territories, and from around the world will all take place in the same area. A new route will showcase the diversity of offerings to both curious visitors and the juries of the General Agricultural Competition. Producers’ know-how will be brought together! The livestock sectors will retain their spaces in Pavilions 1 and 6, continuing to serve as gateways to the Show. Logistics remain unchanged for these exhibitors, preserving important landmarks for regular visitors, even as new dynamics emerge.
Pavilion 4 will host plant-based sectors and offer a garden and pet supplies section, with the excellence of dog and cat breeds participating in the General Agricultural Competition at its heart, alongside the Show’s Educational Farm. A winning combination! Logically, SIA’PRO—the trade show for agricultural technologies and solutions—along with the Services and Agricultural Professions area, will move closer together to complement one another. They will be housed in Pavilion 5, near the main entrance to the venue. This proximity creates a coherent offering for rural professionals, public authorities, and anyone aspiring to join the sector. This unified location will simplify movement and facilitate business meetings. SIA’PRO will also have its own dedicated entrance via Gate B, while remaining accessible to all visitors. A brand-new experience! Pavilion 2.2 will host a special event designed to highlight the uniqueness of the 2026 edition.
