Nplm: What is new in this edition which celebrates 10 years of workspace expo paris 2023?

Laurent BOTTON (LB): This year, we are approaching the 10th edition of the Workspace Expo. This anniversary date marks the return of the event, to its historic location, Pavilion 1 and on the usual dates.

Nplm: looking back over these 10 years, how has the show evolved?

LB: During this decade, Workspace Expo has reflected the evolution of workspaces. First, the Espace Tendances du salon, the first version of which announced "the office as at home" or the transposition of private interior design codes to the professional place. Then the exhibitors, always more numerous and international who came and come to present their novelties, and define the new orientations of the market.

During the last two post-covid editions, Workspace Expo notably presented the emergence and then the strengthening of the flex office, or the unassigned office, with in parallel the appearance of the notion of hospitality for employees.

Nplm: This 10th edition promises to be dense in all registers, explain to us?

LB: For this 10th edition, the exhibition is still growing with an increased number of exhibitors from all over Europe. They will be more than 300.
