Educ@tech Expo 2026, the major event for digital education
A must-attend event at the end of the year, Educ@tech Expo brings the education community together to celebrate innovation. The 2025 edition welcomed 13,512 attendees, 281 stands and 2,373 business meetings.
A forward-looking theme
For 2026, the overarching theme is clear: ‘Choosing the Future: rethinking education in the age of artificial intelligence and digital transformation’. How can we learn and teach with AI? What role will humans play? How can we balance innovation and equity? The discussions promise to be thought-provoking.

- Plenary sessions and exhibitor talks
- The Educational Innovation Hub, dedicated to teachers’ practices
- Workshops and demonstrations
- The Equip École area, for school procurement
- An After-Work event on Wednesday 2 December, from 6 pm to 9 pm
The exhibition is for education professionals only. Visitor passes are free, subject to online registration.
Educ@tech Expo 2026: travelling to Paris by plane
Travelling by train or car from the Massif Central? It often takes 4 hours or more. By plane, the journey takes just a few minutes. Chalair operates direct flights from three regional towns to Paris-Orly, as shown on our route map.
- Brive-Vallée de la Dordogne – Paris-Orly (1 hour 15 minutes)
- Aurillac – Paris-Orly (1 hour 20 minutes)
- Castres-Mazamet – Paris-Orly (1 hour 35 minutes)
The benefits of flying with Chalair
- Time-saving: a morning flight, a full day at the trade fair, and an evening return. On the Aurillac–Paris-Orly route, for example, the first flight departs at 7.05 am and the last return flight leaves Orly at 8.05 pm.
- Small, friendly airports: quick check-in, nearby car parks, minimal waiting times.
- Comfort on board: ATR 42 aircraft with around 48 seats, offering personalised service.
- Local presence: a French airline, firmly rooted in the regions it serves.
This means you can come for just one day, or stay for all three days without wasting time on the road.
