  • E-ticket
    1 week prior to the show, registered clients will receive an e-ticket by email to enable quick collection of entrance badges. Print this email containing a QR code. Scan the e-ticket at one of the self-service badge delivery points located at the Registration Hall, verify all personal information, and print the badge. You may also obtain your badge in person by presenting your e-ticket at a registration desk.
  • Your invoice
    Foreign participants are eligible for a refund on French Valued Added tax (VAT), under certain conditions. Remember to bring the original copies of your invoices with you at the market and learn how to claim your VAT refund.
