Prepare for your visit and your booth at SMCL 2026
Why exhibit at the Salon des Maires in 2026?
Local authorities are the leading public investors in France. Exhibiting at the SMCL means positioning yourself at the heart of public procurement and regional transition.
The must-attend event for elected officials and public purchasers
With tens of thousands of visitors (mayors, chief executive officers, regional elected officials), the SMCL is a unique networking opportunity.
It is the place where tomorrow’s calls for tenders are prepared. A booth designed by R2 Stand, with clear institutional signage visible from afar, allows you to stand out in the crowded halls of the Porte de Versailles and attract elected officials from your catchment area.
Take advantage of the trade show to unveil your “Connected Territories” solutions.
Security, waste management, smart street lighting: elected officials are looking for concrete solutions. Your booth must be educational.
R2 Stand incorporates physical models, interactive screens, and touchscreen tables to explain the added value of your technologies to non-experts in simple terms, thereby facilitating the work of your sales representatives.
Stand out with a space for republican conviviality
At the Salon des Maires, we take the time to discuss local issues and projects over coffee or regional products.
R2 Stand designs warm, open, and comfortable reception areas. We transform your booth into a “village square,” conducive to the exchanges of trust necessary for signing framework agreements.

R2 Stand experts answer your questions for the SMCL
Can a catering/cocktail area be incorporated into the booth?
Yes, it is even strongly recommended at the Trade Show for Mayors.
We design back offices (hidden kitchens) equipped with refrigerators, water points, and storage space so that you can organize regional cocktail parties or institutional breakfasts in perfectly hygienic conditions.
How do I organize mini-conferences on my site?
We can create an “Agora” or “Open Theater” area on your booth, with a presentation screen, a sound system that won’t disturb your neighbors, and modular seating to present your case studies to visiting elected officials.
Do you manage the storage of large amounts of documentation?
At SMCL, we still distribute a large number of institutional brochures.
We incorporate reception desks with large storage spaces and lockable storage areas to ensure that your booth always remains tidy.
When will the next trade show for mayors (SMCL) take place?
The trade show will be held from November 24 to 26, 2026, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, alongside the AMF Congress.
It is recommended that you start planning your booth design before the summer.
Eco-design for sustainable territories
The ecological transition is the major challenge facing local authorities today. Your booth should be the first proof of this. R2 Stand integrates eco-design at the heart of your SMCL project: bio-based materials (certified wood), elimination of single-use plastics, recyclable carpets, 100% LED lighting, and modular design for future reuse. Embody your environmental values in front of the mayors of France.
