Climate House can host seminars, conferences, workshops, cocktails, product launches, press conferences, award ceremonies and company evenings for 35 to 150 guests. It is a community house for companies working on the ecological transition, at 39 rue du Caire in the Sentier district of Paris, in the 2nd arrondissement. Five rooms can be hired privately, and the team designs the event with the organiser.
Seminars and company events
The house offers five rooms on several floors. Business events are the core of the offer: seminars, conferences, workshops, cocktails, launches, press conferences, prize ceremonies and company evenings. The team starts from the organiser's intention and builds the program with them, drawing on the community of entrepreneurs, experts and creative people based in the building.
Several services can be added. The team can arrange speakers from the community, graphic facilitation and set design, and artists. It also coordinates sound, lighting, photo and video production with outside providers. Organisers can ask for a measurement of the carbon footprint of the event, and invitations can be relayed to the house's newsletter, which the official site puts at 12,000 subscribers.

Catering
Catering is handled through partner caterers selected for a seasonal, local and responsible approach. The official site names a list of them, among them Les Cuistots Migrateurs, La Boulangerie du Sentier, Le Recho and Meet My Mama. The team coordinates the caterer on the organiser's behalf. The house also works with Plantation, a rooftop urban farm near Paris, for events held there.
History and setting
The house is also a coworking and community space of around 2,000 square meters, with permanent and nomad residents, so events take place in a working building rather than a hotel. The official site describes more than 600 events held in the house and a yearly program of public talks on climate, biodiversity, energy, food, mobility and finance. The setting suits companies that want their event to match a sustainability agenda.
Getting there
The house is at 39 rue du Caire and 46 rue Dussoubs, 75002 Paris. The nearest metro stations are Strasbourg-Saint-Denis and Sentier. An Indigo car park is at 40 rue Dussoubs. The Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord are within a short trip by metro for guests arriving by train.
