GL events

The company operates an integrated events ecosystem combining production services, exhibition organisation and venue operations. It creates value by offering turnkey solutions across the event lifecycle: consulting and design, technical production, logistics, exhibitor and visitor management, and long‑term venue management. By controlling both content (shows, exhibitions) and infrastructure (venues), it can cross‑sell services, optimise utilisation of its managed venues and build long‑term relationships with institutional and corporate clients.

Revenue is diversified across project‑based event production, recurring exhibition portfolios and multi‑year venue management concessions. The group monetises its expertise in large‑scale cultural, corporate and sporting events, leveraging on‑the‑ground teams worldwide and a network of venues to deliver complex events for paying organisers, exhibitors and public authorities, while also capturing ancillary income from ticketing, hospitality and on‑site services.

GL events is a French, Euronext‑listed global events group operating across three business units: Live (event production and services), Exhibitions (trade shows and public fairs), and Venues (convention and exhibition centres, arenas and similar facilities). It serves corporate, institutional, cultural and sports clients, as well as exhibitors and promoters, providing end‑to‑end event organisation, production and venue management.

The company generates revenue from project and service contracts for event production, from selling exhibitor space, sponsorship and tickets for exhibitions, and from venue management and concession agreements plus space rental and ancillary services such as catering, security and technical operations. Its customers are primarily businesses, public authorities, venue owners, event organisers and industry exhibitors; international activities account for a substantial share of revenue.
