About this event
Paris during VivaTech is one of the best places in the world to meet people building ambitious companies, backing bold ideas, and shaping what comes next in tech. This Endeavor delegation is designed to make that moment more useful: not just by getting you into the mix, but by connecting you with a community that values substance, perspective, and real relationships. If you want more than a crowded conference schedule and a stack of quick introductions, this gathering offers a more intentional way to experience VivaTech. It brings people together in person around shared curiosity, strong networks, and the kind of conversations that can lead to partnerships, insight, and momentum long after the week in Paris ends. About the Event This is an in-person Endeavor delegation taking place alongside VivaTech in Paris. At its core, it is a community-driven meetup for people who want to engage with the broader energy of the week while spending time with a more focused group of peers, founders, operators, and ecosystem leaders. Rather than treating VivaTech as a series of isolated sessions, this delegation creates a layer of connection around the conference experience. It is a chance to gather with others who are navigating similar questions, opportunities, and challenges across entrepreneurship, growth, technology, and global community-building. The format is social and network-oriented, with an emphasis on high-quality interaction. Expect a setting that makes it easier to move beyond surface-level introductions and into more meaningful exchanges about markets, scaling, innovation, and what different people are seeing across their regions and sectors. For attendees already planning to be in Paris for VivaTech, this delegation can become a valuable anchor point in a busy week. For those looking to meet the right people rather than simply more people, it offers a more curated-feeling environment within the larger event ecosystem. What to Expect You should expect a meetup-style experience centered on conversation, introductions, and community. The value here comes from who is in the room, how the group connects, and the shared context of being at VivaTech during one of the most active weeks on the European tech calendar. The flow will likely feel more dynamic than formal. Instead of a long, passive program, the emphasis is on helping attendees engage directly with one another and make the most of being together in person. What the experience may include: Informal networking with other delegation participants Introductions across founders, operators, investors, and ecosystem builders Conversation about trends, opportunities, and priorities emerging during VivaTech Space to compare notes on what people are seeing across markets and sectors A social setting that supports follow-up conversations and relationship-building Because the event takes place during VivaTech, attendees can also use it as a strategic touchpoint within a larger week of meetings and sessions. It is a practical way to pause, reconnect, and meet others who are also thinking seriously about how to use their time in Paris well. There is also a strong community element built into the format. This is not only about exchanging business cards or making one-off intros; it is about spending time with people who understand the pace and complexity of building and supporting companies, and who appreciate thoughtful peer connection. Why Attend The biggest reason to attend is signal. During a major event like VivaTech, it can be hard to tell which rooms, conversations, and introductions will actually matter. An Endeavor delegation helps cut through that noise by bringing together people who are likely to add context, insight, and long-term value to your network. You will also gain efficiency. In a city full of side events, this meetup gives you a clear opportunity to spend time with a relevant group in one place, without needing to engineer every connection from scratch. That matters if your calendar is packed and your attention is limited. Attending can be especially useful if you are looking to: Meet peers with international perspective Build stronger relationships within the tech and entrepreneurship ecosystem Exchange ideas in a more focused environment than the main conference floor Identify potential collaborators, partners, or future introductions Stay plugged into the broader conversation happening around VivaTech There is value here even if you already have a full conference agenda. Some of the most useful moments during major industry gatherings happen at the edges: in smaller groups, in candid discussions, and in settings where people can speak more openly about what they are building, testing, and learning. This delegation is built for exactly that kind of interaction. Practical Details This event will take place in person in Paris, France on Wednesday, June 17 at 3:00 PM GMT+2. As part of VivaTech week, it is best approached as a live, on-the-ground meetup designed to fit into a broader conference trip. Because the event is in person, plan to attend ready to introduce yourself, share what you are working on, and make time for conversation. If you are coming from the main conference or other meetings, it is worth arriving with a clear sense of who you hope to meet and what topics you are most interested in discussing. A few practical ways to get the most out of it: Keep your schedule around the event flexible enough for real conversations Be ready with a concise introduction to your work or company Think about the kinds of people you want to connect with during VivaTech week Prepare to follow up quickly with relevant contacts after the meetup Paris will be especially active during VivaTech, so give yourself enough time to navigate between meetings and venues. If you are looking for a well-timed, community-centered moment within a high-volume week, this delegation offers a smart place to show up.
