PAYSALIA–ROCALIA 2025: REINVENTING THE LANDSCAPES OF TOMORROW

From 2 to 4 December 2025, Paysalia–Rocalia will bring together at Eurexpo Lyon the entire ecosystem of landscape, natural stone and urban planning professionals. Driven by a strong momentum of innovation and transmission of know-how, this ambitious edition reaffirms the duo’s leading role within the living-environment industries. It also provides a powerful demonstration of GL events’ ability to design, organise and operate complete, immersive and coherent event formats.

 

AN EDITION FOCUSED ON THE SECTOR’S MAJOR CHALLENGES

Across three days featuring more than a hundred conferences, workshops, debates and demonstrations, Paysalia–Rocalia sheds light on the key transformations shaping the industry: biodiversity, climate adaptation, urban greening, economic models, resource management, employment and training.

Visitors were able to discover the most promising projects and innovations in highly anticipated areas: the Carré des Jardiniers, showcasing the creative excellence of four finalists; the Innovation Booster and Paysalia Innovations Awards, highlighting breakthrough solutions; and the WorldSkills Arena, which has become a true platform of expression for young talents in landscaping, stonework and marble craftsmanship.

The show’s key spaces were fully planted and landscaped, enhancing immersion and reinforcing the inspiring atmosphere of this edition. This renewed scenography responded directly to visitor expectations and turned the event into a collective space for imagining the landscapes and cities of tomorrow.

 

TWO GL EVENTS–POWERED SHOWS: A DEMONSTRATION OF OUR INTEGRATED MODEL

Paysalia and Rocalia are organised by the Greentech+ division of GL events Exhibitions and hosted at Eurexpo Lyon, part of the GL events Venues network. The 2025 edition illustrates how the Group’s expertise seamlessly complements one another.

GL events Exhibitions designed and orchestrated the entire programme, thematic villages and all innovation- and training-focused features. GL events Venues ensured venue operations, visitor services, crowd management, catering, and the configuration of VIP areas and conference spaces.

GL events Live, responsible for the full range of event infrastructures, played a decisive role: creating bespoke structures, directional signage, scenography for shared spaces, hall layouts, packaged stands and technical installations.

This cross-functional mobilisation highlights the strength of the GL events model: delivering a fully integrated value chain, from editorial design and event production to on-site operations, all within a single, coordinated ecosystem.

 

For the Group, this edition is a testament to the complementarity of our métiers. The integration of our divisions enables us to provide exhibitors and visitors with a seamless, premium experience while ensuring full operational control. This coherence strengthens GL events’ value proposition to industries and local authorities, especially at a time when sustainability, innovation and adaptability are becoming defining priorities.
