Meet & Connect FORMATplus Lyon 2025: Driving Collaboration and Future Growth
On 25th and 26th September 2025, the Meet & Connect FORMATplus event in Lyon once again proved to be a strong platform for exchange, inspiration and collaboration within the network. Over the course of two intensive days, participants engaged in valuable discussions, shared ideas and strengthened their partnerships.
The event began on the evening prior to the official programme with an informal activity, offering an excellent opportunity for participants to connect and build relationships in a relaxed and dynamic atmosphere.
The official programme continued the following day with a short catalogue training session, introducing the new FORMATplus catalogue 2025–2027 and highlighting its key features. This provided a strong foundation for the subsequent discussions and exchanges.
The main Meet & Connect FORMAT France took place at the Novotel Lyon Bron Eurexpo, offering an ideal setting for professional exchange, new impulses and product presentations. A particular highlight was the direct dialogue between FORMAT members and contract suppliers, representing a wide range of product categories included in the new catalogue. This interaction plays a key role in driving innovation and strengthening sales activities across the network.
With 27 brand / supplier stands presenting their products and concepts, and more than 90 participants from the French FORMATplus group, the event generated numerous ideas and insights. Together, partners are developing solutions for future challenges and further strengthening collaboration across markets.
The successful event once again demonstrated the importance of personal exchange, strong partnerships and a shared vision for sustainable growth.
We look forward to further strengthening our activities with our European suppliers and continuing to drive collaboration within the French FORMATplus network together with our partners.
