Trade fairs dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) are emerging as the new trend in Paris, succeeding blockchain conferences. While the French capital has recently established itself as a hub for blockchain technologies, AI is now taking center stage. Companies and enthusiasts are flocking to discover the latest innovations, debate ethical implications, and explore the economic opportunities offered by AI. With a series of events planned in the coming months, Paris could very well become the nerve center of AI in Europe, attracting both experts and the curious.
The success of the R.AI.SE fair
The first edition of the R.AI.SE fair was a resounding success, attracting numerous companies from the artificial intelligence sector. Round tables featuring major industry players, financiers, manufacturers, public institutions, and tech giants highlighted the growing importance of generative AI in the professional world.
Chain of Events and NFT Paris respond to the enthusiasm
In response to the enthusiasm generated by generative AI, event organizers have decided to create fairs dedicated to this theme. Chain of Events announced the organization of an entire week dedicated to generative AI in July 2025, with the iconic Louvre as the venue. Meanwhile, NFT Paris has created XYZ Paris, a one-day fair that will take place at Station F in September. The idea is to bring together marketing and/or innovation directors who play a cross-functional role in their companies but may not always have the time to keep up with the latest developments in this ever-evolving technology.
Concrete and useful events
Fairs dedicated to generative AI aim to be concrete and useful. In addition to discussions and conferences, these events will offer workshops allowing participants to discover and delve into new uses of AI. This pragmatic approach attracts numerous brands, platforms, financiers, and artists who are eager to understand the concrete applications of this technology.
The success of artificial intelligence
Generative artificial intelligence, thanks to interfaces like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion, is experiencing increasing success. This technology has made blockchain seem outdated, with use cases often still poorly understood or deemed too abstract. The public interest, even among initiated individuals, is increasingly turning towards AI, to the extent that some events, like Vivatech, dedicate only a single round table to blockchain over several days.
In conclusion, fairs dedicated to generative AI are becoming the next big trend in Paris, following blockchain conferences. Industry players are increasingly interested in this technology, and event organizers are responding to this demand by offering concrete and useful fairs to discover and explore the applications of generative AI.
