Decision-makers with identified projects
Strategic buyers pre-qualified by our teams and carrying live projects.
The concept
A trade show designed as a premium conversation engine, not a static showcase.
Hotel & Restaurant Meetings brings together strategic decision-makers with projects that have been verified and validated by the Weyou Group teams.
The concept is built around 15-minute One to One meetings, requested by Top Decision-Makers from suppliers able to address their needs with relevant and innovative solutions in a 100% business-focused format.
These meetings take place directly on exhibitors’ stands, while also giving them the opportunity to engage with additional decision-makers available on site and interested in their offer.
Since 2009, Hotel & Restaurant Meetings has established itself as the must-attend event for premium hospitality and foodservice, held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès de Cannes to generate concrete business opportunities.
The One to One model combines a targeted agenda, premium attendee selection, a strong concentration of key players and digital tools that deliver a smooth, measurable experience before, during and after the event.

The Weyou Group website highlights an in-house digital backbone: one real-time interconnected platform, a matchmaking engine refined since 2009, a dedicated mobile app and performance measurement tools. On Hotel & Restaurant Meetings, that becomes a clear commercial asset for exhibitors and Top Decision-Makers alike.
Weyou Gestion, the proprietary CRM command centre
A single digital platform connected to Weyou events and applications in real time to manage exhibitors, Top Decision-Makers, visitors, incoming requests and operational follow-up from one place.
Algorithmic matchmaking for One to One meetings
The engine continuously improved since 2009 builds tailored agendas from both sides’ stated needs so time is concentrated on meetings with real commercial relevance.
Digital agendas via the dedicated mobile app
Weyou App brings together the meeting agenda, exhibitor and buyer messaging, notifications, practical information and live logistics to optimise participation during the event.
Analytics, reporting and ROI visibility
Weyou Analytics tracks activity, meeting quality, commercial reach, completed appointments and before-during-after performance to make participation value immediately readable.
AI embedded to speed up prospecting
Automated prospecting, data analysis, lead qualification and agenda optimisation use AI as an acceleration layer to improve targeting relevance and execution speed.
Digital agendas, scan tracking and automated comms
Availability management, on-site scan tracking, real-time follow-up, WhatsApp reminders, email campaigns and notifications all sit in the same operational flow to keep activation fluid and measurable.
