Types of education and organisations present
The fair covers a broad spectrum of offerings relevant to students and advisors. Key topics include preparations for Parcoursup with access to over 26 000 available courses, comparisons between university degrees and technical cycles, and information on work study and internships.
The event is organised in partnership with the Lyon academic region and leverages L’Etudiant’s editorial teams to structure participation by public institutions, private schools and vocational centres.
Conferences and practical sessions
Conferences at the Salon de L’Etudiant de Lyon 2027 are led by L’Etudiant journalists who address concrete steps such as the Parcoursup timetable, application file preparation and selection criteria. Sessions run around 45 minutes and encourage audience interaction.
Because conference access is free, arriving early helps secure a place and engage directly with speakers and panellists for follow up questions.
B2B prospecting and meeting strategy
If you represent an educational institution or training provider bring clear documentation on programmes, admission criteria and follow up contacts. Focus on setting short, measurable objectives such as collecting contact details from target programmes and scheduling post-show calls.
Review the exhibitor list when published and identify counterparts whose student profiles overlap with your offer. Prepare concise value propositions and next steps to convert on-stand conversations into qualified leads.
