Information management faces 2026 with regulatory pressure and the industrialization of AI affecting document workflows and business processes. Against that backdrop, Documation 2026 takes place on April 8 and 9 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, bringing together vendors and decision makers to showcase solutions and practical deployments.
Practical details
Documation 2026 runs on April 8 and 9 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The organiser lists more than 100 exhibitors and a conference program produced in partnership with Archimag. This edition is presented as the 32nd edition of the show.
Exhibitor mix and audience profile
The event gathers software vendors, system integrators and digital workplace providers. Published figures for the previous edition show 5,290 professional visitors and 3,227 conference attendees. That mix indicates an audience composed mainly of project owners and buyers in document management, process automation and applied AI.
Program highlights and sector trends
The program covers nine trends identified for 2026, including the scaling of AI, heightened demands for digital sovereignty and transparency rules for AI. Operational topics such as electronic invoicing and the rollout of eIDAS 2.0 digital identity frameworks also feature in the agenda.
Contributions curated with Archimag emphasize practical cases and governance questions, pairing vendor demos with sessions on compliance and risk management.
Commercial prospecting and meeting strategy
For teams planning outreach at Documation 2026, focus on arranging targeted meetings with project holders and preparing concise, outcome-focused demos. Concrete steps to increase conversion:
- Use the official exhibitor and visitor tools to request meetings in advance.
- Design short demos that highlight compliance, governance and measurable benefits rather than exhaustive feature lists.
- Provide compact technical briefs and fast links so prospects can validate solutions after meetings.
The event promotes business rendezvous with project owners, easing the transition from demos to pilot projects.
