Return to the event

The 16th edition of the “Rencontres du GIFEC” was held in Lyon at the Intercontinental – Hôtel Dieu. Gifec thus reaffirms its commitment to remaining a necessary and privileged place of exchange for the profession.

This event brought together more than 180 people in a prestigious setting: quality speakers, all industrial supplies distributors and all Gifec member manufacturers.

The evening ended at 11:30 p.m. following a convivial and gourmet cocktail dinner.
Renowned speakers hosted this evening around the themes:

What industrial Europe tomorrow?

What will be our choice of performance: economic, technological, ecological or human?

 

The Grand Hôtel-Dieu, before becoming one of the most beautiful hotels in the city of Lyon, is an emblematic place of Lyon's architectural heritage steeped in 800 years of history. Completely renovated in 2019 by designer Jean-Philippe Nuel, we were happy to have you rediscover it on this occasion.

See you soon for new meetings,

The presidents, Serge Teyssier & Eric Pasquier
