Dates, venue and access in Aix‑en‑Provence
The event runs Saturday 21 November 2026 from 9h to 17h at the Arena du Pays d’Aix. The listed address is 1955 Rue Claude Nicolas Ledoux, 13290 Aix-en-Provence. Exhibitors will be available online from Thursday 5 November 2026, enabling advance planning of visits.
Registration is free and nominative. Each visitor must register to receive an email invitation and can add companions via their personal account. The organizer supports a digital invitation and integration with mobile wallet on Android and iOS.
Program, conferences and exhibitors
The event site lists conferences hosted by the editorial team of L’Etudiant. Sessions cover practical topics related to Parcoursup, work-study options, preparatory classes and business schools among other subjects. Conference access is free and designed for interaction; sessions last around 45 minutes.
The exhibitors list becomes available two weeks before the fair and is updated until opening day. That makes it possible to prioritize which stands to visit and to prepare targeted meetings.
Key figures and network resources
Public information from the organizer shows the scale of the Salons L’Etudiant network: 125 salons, 997,533 visitors and 850 conferences across the program. Parcoursup is referenced with more than 26,000 formations available, a figure that reflects the range of options applicants handle.
How to prepare B2B prospecting at the fair
If you represent a university, training center or recruitment service, focus on concrete, measurable actions.
- Set slot-based objectives. Assign team members specific study programs and time blocks for interviews.
- Prepare concise program dossiers with admission criteria, career outcomes and Parcoursup steps. Have print copies and a PDF ready for immediate sending.
- Use the online exhibitor listings available before the event to schedule meetings and prioritize prospects.
- Identify the conferences relevant to your target segments and draft brief questions or talking points for Q&A; sessions run about 45 minutes.
- Manage digital invitations proactively and ask companions to book meetings to smooth stand traffic.
Turn each encounter into a short conversion funnel with a clear next action: send follow-up material, schedule a campus visit or confirm application steps.
Practical information for families and students
Access requires registration to obtain a nominative invitation. The platform allows adding companions from the personal account. Arrive about ten minutes before conferences, which are free to attend and typically last 45 minutes. Presenting the invitation on a smartphone is acceptable and encouraged for environmental reasons.
For the full program, exhibitor list and to register, consult the official event site at http://salon-de-l-etudiant-aix-en-provence.salon.letudiant.fr and complete your invitation via the “S’inscrire au salon” section.
For institutions, the challenge after the fair is to transform contacts into formal applications. Use the pre-event online tools to build an agenda and operate short follow-ups that convert interest into registrations or concrete admissions steps.
