About SIAL Paris
A food innovation exhibition, bringing together food industry professionals from around the globe to showcase products and innovations.
SIAL Paris 2028
SIAL Paris returns on 22–26 October 2028. For the first time the show is spread across two sites: its historic home at Paris Nord Villepinte and the Paris Le Bourget site.
What it is
SIAL Paris is a biennial international food industry trade show organised by Comexposium. It brings together producers, distributors, restaurateurs and importers-exporters, and entry is reserved for food industry professionals: buyers, distributors, importers, manufacturers, restaurateurs, journalists, start-ups and innovation stakeholders.
How the two sites work
- One badge covers both. A single badge gives access to all exhibition areas and events at both locations.
- Getting between them. The organiser says the sites are 15 minutes apart, with a free shuttle every 20 minutes; Paris Le Bourget is also reached by Line 17 of the Grand Paris Express.
- Paris Le Bourget hosts the Beverages, Hot Drinks, Wine & Spirituous, Fine Food, Frozen Food, and Catering & Snacking sectors, plus SIAL StrEat Lab, SIAL Start-up, Tutto Pizza and the VIP, Press and Top Buyers areas.
- Paris Nord Villepinte hosts the SIAL Innovation area in hall 6, with a showcase of the winners at Le Bourget.
- Exhibitor list. The 2028 list is not yet published; the organiser says it will go online and be updated in the run-up to the show.
