Touch down, drop your bags, and head straight to the Loft at the Marriott Rive Gauche. We're kicking off CTEC EMEA 2026 with a low-pressure, high-reward welcome reception designed to help you shake off the travel fog.

Consider this your home base to refuel with great food and drinks while catching up with colleagues before the main event begins. No agendas, no deep dives—just a chance to unwind, settle into Paris, and ease into the week ahead.

There is no better way to experience Paris than through its food and its people. For this year’s CTEC EMEA Networking Dinner, we’re trading the conference hall for the lively atmosphere of La Felicità, one of Paris’s most vibrant social dining destinations, to focus on what matters most—building meaningful connections.

Whether you’re catching up with old friends or meeting new collaborators, the evening is designed for effortless conversation over freshly prepared Italian favourites, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. Unwind, exchange ideas, and enjoy the vibrant energy of one of the city’s most unique gathering spaces, where memorable conversations and lasting connections come naturally.

Skip the formal presentations, embrace the spirit of Paris, and enjoy an evening where exceptional food, great company, and unforgettable networking take centre stage.

Step into a different era at our CTEC EMEA Social Event at the Musée des Arts Forains.

Tucked inside a 19th-century pavilion designed by one of Gustave Eiffel’s apprentices, this one-of-a-kind venue transforms the evening into a living, breathing vintage fairground.

Start with drinks among whimsical curiosities before moving into a fully immersive dining experience surrounded by antique attractions. From centenary merry-go-rounds to interactive games that test your skill (and maybe your dignity), this is not your standard conference dinner.

Expect great food, unexpected moments, and a setting that pulls you straight into the magic of 1900s Paris. Networking is better when it comes with a carousel ride.
