High-end interior fittings and decorative finishes set an agenda for buyers concentrated on turnkey luxury projects. In late November Cannes hosts three days of targeted meetings where suppliers meet accredited buyers in prearranged sessions.
Dates and venue
Interior & Exterior Design Meetings 2026 runs from 24 to 26 November at the Palais des Festivals de Cannes. The event schedule is designed around pre-booked one-to-one meetings held at exhibitor stands.
Exhibitor profile and product focus
The exhibition is dedicated to decoration and furniture for luxury and ultra-luxury projects. The 2026 edition brings together 80 exhibitors offering solutions for interior fit-out, hospitality contract and premium decorative finishes. Attendees include buyers accredited with validated projects.
Business format and digital ecosystem
The show’s core format is 15-minute One to One meetings on the exhibitor stand. The organizer combines a proprietary digital platform from Weyou Group with human qualification processes. The platform provides AI matching, real-time analytics and an integrated CRM for lead tracking.
Published operational figures indicate 150 hosted buyers, exhibitor rebooking above 70 percent in the month after the event and exhibitor and buyer ratings of 4.49 and 4.90 out of 5 respectively. The organizer reports measured ROI between X7 and X15 over an 18-month horizon.
How to prepare B2B prospecting for the show
-
Target concrete projects. The event is built around buyers with validated briefs; prepare a concise project pack with plans, timelines and indicative budgets to share during 15-minute slots.
-
Book meetings with clear outcomes. Reserve sessions for two objectives: quick catalogue and case presentations, and technical meetings to confirm lead times, production and installation logistics. Use the Weyou platform to coordinate timings.
-
Bring compact samples and technical documentation. Show material samples, technical sheets and photographic evidence of installed projects to accelerate decision making during short meetings.
-
Capture and follow up. Record each meeting in the integrated CRM and assign a follow-up action with a deadline and responsible person to convert interest into orders or pilot projects.
