VivaTech took up the challenge of creating a new hybrid model, combining premium in-person access with a fully immersive online experience while at the same time adapting to new ways of interacting.
"VivaTech is back in 2021 with a brand new hybrid format, the first of its kind. The experience, accessible in-person in Paris at Porte de Versailles, and online all over the world on our digital platform, was greatly appreciated by visitors and exhibitors alike. We have reinvented ourselves and redefined the codes of Europe's biggest tech and innovation event. We are particularly touched by the enthusiastic response from all the participants – it was so good to be together, at last. This new format further strengthens VivaTech for the years to come." said VivaTech's Managing Director Julie Ranty with Co-Directors Maurice Lévy and Pierre Louette.
VivaTech totally re-engineered its format in order to offer an online experience that goes beyond the simple retransmission of the live event or live news coverage.
