THE 2012 edition of EFTTEX will be held in Paris, it has been announced. The Villepinte Exhibition Centre will host the event on June 3rd, 4th and 5th.
The show returns to Paris from June 1st to 3rd after an absence of 24 years, winning favour as a result of its excellent travel connections and the suitability of the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre.


Despite the fact that Paris hotel prices exceed those of the other cities in contention, the EFTTA Board agreed this was outweighed by the obvious advantages of Paris.
“There are direct flights from all over the world into Charles de Gaulle Airport, including from all main US cities,” said EFTTA’s General Manager Janet Doyle. “It’s as good as Amsterdam in that respect.


“One of the consistent pieces of feedback we get from members is the importance of direct connections, so it was important to address this.


“The show will be accommodated in one hall which has only four pillars and that makes planning and selling it a lot easier.


“Nuremburg is also a fantastic venue and city, but EFTTEX has been there twice in the last 12 years. It has not been to Paris since 1983, only the second year of the show.

Furthermore, it has not been in France since 2000.”
The Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre is a 25-minute train journey from Gare du Nord and five minutes from Charles de Gaulle by train and 15 minutes by car. Average hotel prices range from €75 to €350 for two-star to four-star rooms.
