Espace Pierre Bachelet can host events of up to 3,000 people in Dammarie-les-Lys, in Seine-et-Marne. It is a convention center with two modular halls that can be rented together or separately, 4,300 m² at most. The official site names trade shows, concerts and seminars among the uses, and invites organisers to request a hire quote for their event.
Seminars and company events The larger hall, called the EPB, is a show hall of 1,400 m² with a 500 m² stage area. Seating is arranged on a telescopic stand and a floor of armchairs, giving 1,000 seats in the smaller layout and 1,600 in the larger one. Standing, the hall holds 3,000 people, and 2,000 in a mixed seated and standing concert layout. A video projector, a screen and a lectern are available on request, and the hall has sound, lighting and video equipment. A technical team is provided, along with a list of the equipment kit on site.
The venue also has smaller sub-committee rooms available on request, and a cinema room, so a plenary session can be paired with breakout meetings. The site shows past events such as a car and motorbike show, a gaming and pop culture show, a conference filmed on the stage and a choral event with 380 singers and an orchestra.
Weddings and receptions Weddings are not mentioned. The reception hall, L’Annexe, is set up for large banquets and cocktails, which suits galas, company dinners and large celebrations.
