The companion animal care market focuses on Geneva from 6 to 8 November 2026. Exposition Féline Internationale de Genève 2026 combines international judging, a commercial village and specialist retail aimed at both professionals and cat owners.
Dates and venue at Palexpo
The show runs from 6 to 8 November 2026 at Palexpo. Activities include competitive judging by an international panel and a commercial area where brands display food, accessories and services for cats.
What appears at Exposition Féline Internationale de Genève
The exhibition features a broad range of cat breeds judged by international experts. Alongside the competitions, the village merchant hosts suppliers of nutrition, accessories and veterinary-related services. The event is organised in partnership with the Cat Club de Genève, which supports the presence of national and international participants.
Key figures for 2026
Each year the show welcomes roughly 370 cats, evaluated in more than 1,620 judgments. Those figures give a sense of the judging workload and the scale of activity across rings and the commercial area at Palexpo.
How to approach B2B prospecting in Geneva
For companies seeking distributors or retail clients, focus on product proof points that matter to clinics and specialist shops: clinical tolerability for diets, durability and safety for accessories, and service packages for veterinary practices. Prepare concise technical sheets and a portable demo kit to speed decisions at the stand. Use the competition schedule as an entry point for technical conversations with judges and breeders.
Schedule short meetings during setup and the first morning to avoid peak visitor hours. Provide samples or trial offers that allow immediate evaluation by shop buyers and vets. Clear, data-driven claims and short case summaries work better than broad marketing statements in this environment.
Organisation and contacts
The event is run in collaboration with the Cat Club de Genève and forms part of Les Automnales activities at Palexpo. The project lead cited in official communications is Audrey Durussel.
