La Maison de la Conversation rents its spaces for seminars, workshops, conferences, exhibitions and off-sites, for up to 300 people. The venue sits in Paris 18e, near Porte de Clignancourt, and offers seven modular spaces on 525 m². It is a third place for social innovation, and company events held here support its inclusion projects.
Seminars and company events
The venue states that its spaces are fully modular and equipped for company events. The formats listed on its hire page are seminars, workshops, conferences, exhibitions and off-sites. Several rooms can be combined, so a plenary session, breakout workshops and a reception can run in the same building. The team positions the venue for organizations that want their event to fit a social responsibility strategy. Among the organizations quoted on the hire page are the MAIF, SNCF Réseau, GRTgaz and HEC. The venue also runs its own formats, such as a conversation-based conference called CONVX, and it held a summer university on social ties on August 28, 2025, with 100 participants.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages do not offer weddings. The hire page focuses on company events, so this venue is not presented as a wedding location.
Rooms and capacities
The hire page lists the following spaces. The Grande salle measures 90 m² and takes 90 to 120 people. The Salle de jeu measures 70 m² and takes 80 to 100 people. The Salle d'immersion measures 70 m² and takes 85 to 100 people. The Salle d'écoute measures 35 m² and takes 20 to 30 people, which suits small committees. The studio measures 35 m² on the hire page and takes 40 people. Together the seven spaces cover 525 m² and the whole venue can host up to 300 people. The venue also describes an immersive room format for training sessions.
Accommodation
There is no accommodation on site. The venue is in a dense part of Paris, where hotels are available nearby.
Catering
The official pages do not describe a catering offer for private events. A café is part of the project, and its opening was announced on the site as coming soon. Ask the team how food and drinks are handled for your date.
History and setting
The venue stands in the Porte Montmartre priority district of Paris 18e. It was created as a place for inclusive conversation between people who would not otherwise meet, with a program of events, training and a free studio open to residents. It also won the City of Paris participatory budget for an urban installation called La Rue de la Conversation.
