LILLE EVENTS

The act of 1901 type associate, Lille Events was created with the aim of being able to respond effectively to the increasing demands of companies and agencies of the business and event tourism market who wish to organise an event at the heart of the “hub” that today represents Lille and its region.

In a process of positioning and qualifying professionals in the business tourism sector, Lille Events brings together all the assets for the corporate event organiser: all trades and skills are gathered within the association. In addition, a quality charter, shared by all members of Lille Events, guarantees the best of the know-how of each of our professionals in each profession.

The Lille Events professionals are gathered in a voluntarist and structuring approach around the same objective: offer a quality and tailor-made service to meet all requests without fail.
