Pre-Intermat

Three months before the exhibition comes an exclusive event !

Three  months ahead of the main event, Pre-INTERMAT provides an opportunity for specially invited international journalists to meet some 150 exhibitors for a preview of their exhibition ‘exclusives’ (innovations, new products and acquisitions, new international launches and more).

Over the years, this Paris gathering for journalists and exhibitors has become a must: a true INTERMAT highlight that takes place several months ahead of the exhibition's opening.

For the first time, these two days will provide those involved in the sector an opportunity to focus on innovation – a key factor in commercial competitiveness – with the official announcement of the INTERMAT Innovation Award winners.

Various friendly working meetings will be capped by the Pre-INTERMAT evening reception, to be held in one of the most beautiful private townhouses in Paris. Guests will dine amid a collection of rare and dazzling works of art.

Pre-INTERMAT 2009 will take place on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 January at the Toit de la Grande Arche - Paris La Defense.
