The 16th edition of the "Rencontres du GIFEC" were held in Lyon at the Intercontinental - Hôtel Dieu. Gifec thus reaffirms its commitment to remain an essential and privileged forum for the profession.
This event took place in a prestigious setting and brought together quality speakers, all the distributors of industrial supplies and all the manufacturers who are members of Gifec.
The event ended at 11:30 pm with a convivial and gourmet cocktail reception.
Well-known speakers will lead the evening on the following themes:
What is Europe's industrial future?
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, was an emblematic part of Lyon's architectural heritage, with its 800 years of history. Totally renovated in 2019 by designer Jean-Philippe Nuel, we were happy to let you rediscover it on this occasion.
See you soon.
The presidents, Serge Teyssier & Eric Pasquier
