How to decide between university, BTS or work-study pathways when Parcoursup deadlines approach? That practical dilemma frames the orientation agenda in Normandy this November and explains the focus of Salon de L’Etudiant du Havre 2026.
Dates and venue for Salon de L’Etudiant du Havre 2026
The one-day salon runs on Saturday 14 November 2026 in Le Havre at Carré des Docks, Hall 2. Opening hours are 9h to 17h and the address is 64 Quai de la Réunion, 76600 Le Havre. Exhibitor listings will be available online from Thursday 29 October 2026.
Offerings from exhibitors and the organizer
Run in partnership with the Académie de Normandie, the salon brings institutions that explain study pathways, application processes and professional alternatives. The editorial team of L’Etudiant provides briefings and guidance to complement the on-site sessions.
Key figures from the L’Etudiant network
The L’Etudiant salons operate at scale with 125 salons organized, 993250 visitors across the network and 850 conferences. Those numbers illustrate the editorial project’s reach and the operational context of the local show.
How to prepare prospecting and contacts in Le Havre
For institutions and training providers aiming to recruit, set three priorities before the day: target student profiles, clarify program messages for degrees and vocational offers, and define post-event follow-up. Use the online exhibitor list available from 29 October to arrange meetings in advance. Bring concise program fact sheets and a digital capture method to collect leads on site.
Conference format and practical sessions
Journalists from L’Etudiant moderate conference sessions that cover Parcoursup, work-study and vocational routes. Attendance to the conferences is free and sessions last about 45 minutes with a question segment.
Registration and visitor logistics
Registration requires completing the salon form; each invitation is free, nominative and mandatory. Visitors can add companions via their personal area and use a digital invitation stored in a mobile wallet.
The landscape of higher education access continues to evolve and orientation events remain a practical forum for clarifying options. For registration and official details consult the event website at http://salon-de-l-etudiant-le-havre.salon.letudiant.fr
