NEWCAP Event Center hosts conventions, congresses, trade shows, seminars and receptions for up to 800 people on 1,200 square meters spread over two levels. It stands at 3 quai de Grenelle in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, on the banks of the Seine and a short walk from the Eiffel Tower.
Seminars and company events
The venue is organized around modularity. The space divides into as many as 16 separate rooms, so a day of workshops with breakout groups and a plenary session can run under one roof. The official site shows layouts for conferences of 300 and of 500 people, as well as seminar, exhibition and congress set-ups. It states that more than 350 events take place each year, among them meetings, conventions, trade shows, product presentations, lunches, cocktails and medical or international congresses.
The audiovisual equipment was renewed in 2022 and includes eight projectors of 10,000 lumens, 85-inch screens and a transmission system between the two levels. The venue also mentions 4K projection, studio-quality sound and high-speed internet. A technical director follows each booking from the first request. Lounge areas, with a table football game, give small groups a place to talk between sessions.
Rooms and capacities
The whole site accepts up to 800 guests. One level is a 550 m² open floor with daylight, which suits a general session, a trade show or a standing reception. A 600 m² area is set aside for exhibitions and product presentations. It is served by a freight lift rated at 13.5 tonnes, with direct access to the exhibition hall, so vehicles, stands and heavy equipment can be brought in without long carries.
Because the rooms are divisible, organizers can start with the full floor for a keynote and then split into workshop rooms for the afternoon. The venue does not publish names for each room on the pages we reviewed, so ask for the floor plan when you request a quote.
Catering
Food is produced on site by chef Vincent Thiessé and his team. The offer covers seated and standing buffet formulas, lunches and cocktails with savory and sweet pieces, built around fresh ingredients. For a change of scene at midday, the venue proposes a lunch on a boat called Gustave, moored a few minutes away on the left bank at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
History and setting
The venue is certified ISO 20121 for sustainable event management. Its position on the Seine, facing the Eiffel Tower, gives guests a view of the river from the building.
Getting there
The nearest metro station is Bir-Hakeim on line 6. RER line C stops at Champ de Mars - Tour Eiffel, and bus lines 72 and 82 serve the area. Several hotels stand close by, including Pullman Tour Eiffel, Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel, Yooma and Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel, which helps when guests travel from outside Paris for a congress.
