Types of exhibitors and audience
Exhibitors primarily include higher education institutions and vocational training centres. Expect universities, technical schools, private institutions, and providers focused on alternance and internships. The target audience is students choosing their next stage of education and their families; there is also content aimed at candidates seeking alternance placements.
Conferences and focal topics
L’Etudiant’s editorial team hosts a series of 45-minute sessions that cover practical matters such as Parcoursup procedures, alternance, BTS and BUT programmes, preparatory classes and business schools. Conferences encourage interaction between journalists, speakers and the audience. Access to these sessions is free according to the event information.
Key figures for the salon network
The Salons de L’Etudiant network publishes aggregated figures for its activity: 125 salons organized, 997,533 visitors and 850 conferences in total. These numbers reflect the scale of the editorial and operational effort across the network.
Practical tips for exhibitors and recruitment teams
- Bring clear materials on admissions timelines and Parcoursup procedures; visitors look for precise guidance.
- Prepare a short conversation script with common questions to quickly identify genuinely interested candidates.
- Provide datasheets on alternance and internship opportunities; these pathways are decisive for many young people.
- Allow time for informal meetings and for capturing contact details; the organiser permits adding accompanying guests and digital management of invitations.
Visitor practicalities
Registration is online and each invitation is nominative and free. You can present the invitation on your smartphone or add it to your mobile wallet. Conferences do not require prior booking; arriving early helps secure a seat in preferred sessions and reviewing the exhibitor list when published will help plan the route through the fair.
