L'Usine Deguerry hosts seminars, conferences, business meetings, product launches, team dinners and cocktails, with up to 150 guests in conference layout and up to 200 at a standing reception. The venue is a former 19th-century cardboard factory at 12 rue Deguerry, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, converted into a modular event space with five areas.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells seminars and conferences in a bright main space, standing receptions, and corporate dinners served at a single long table. It also hosts galas, creative workshops, exhibitions, showrooms, pop-up stores, castings, fittings, fashion shows and photo or film shoots. The whole factory or a single space can be booked.
Sound, lighting and Wi-Fi are provided. The team handles the event from planning to coordination, with a director of events, a development director and two sales managers listed on the site.
For a seminar day, the Espace Séminaire takes the working sessions, La Verrière gives a daylit setting for the plenary or the lunch, and Le Club in the basement can host the evening drinks.
Rooms and capacities
The venue gives overall figures rather than room-by-room capacities: up to 150 guests in conference layout and up to 200 for a cocktail or standing reception. For dinners, it offers a single-table format; ask for the number of seats.
La Verrière: the main room, with a high ceiling and a large glass roof that brings in daylight.
Espace Séminaire: a modular and spacious room for meetings or receptions.
Le Club: a basement room with a hushed atmosphere, for private evenings and after-parties.
La Boutique: a street-facing space for pop-up stores and product launches.
Galerie Suspendue: a mezzanine for exhibitions and showrooms.
Catering
The venue works with partner suppliers rather than an in-house kitchen. Food is provided by Olivier Théron Food Event Paris, which prepares made-to-measure menus. Furniture for every layout comes through a partnership with Solutions Événements, and cocktails, with or without alcohol, come from Night Hawks. Ask the team whether other caterers can be brought in.
History and setting
The building was a cardboard factory in the 19th century. The conversion kept its industrial structure: stone walls, wooden roof frames and the original metal frame, with a large glass roof flooding the main room with natural light. The raw materials give a neutral backdrop that works for a brand launch as well as for a board dinner, and the street-facing shop window is useful for events that want to be seen from outside.
The site is in the heart of the 11th arrondissement, a lively residential district close to Oberkampf and Parmentier, with transport and services nearby. Fashion houses, agencies and wedding planners are among its clients, according to the venue.
Getting there
Rue Deguerry is a short street in the north of the 11th arrondissement, close to avenue Parmentier. Several metro stations are within a few minutes' walk, including Goncourt on line 11 and Parmentier on line 3, and République is a little farther. Ask the team for the delivery access and the nearest car park when you plan the set-up.
