SEPEM Industries Nord 2028 in Douai: where to stay

SEPEM Industries Nord 2028 is the flagship industrial gathering for the Hauts-de-France manufacturing base. Over three days at the Parc des Expositions du Rivage Gayant in Douai, equipment makers, subcontractors and suppliers showcase machinery, processes and services designed for real production floors. The show blends live machine demonstrations with short-circuit supplier networks, technical panels and dedicated areas for digital transformation, sustainability and plant-side innovation. It is built for buyers who want to see, touch and compare solutions before committing capital. Professionals from machining, maintenance, automation, plastics and composites, quality and industrial logistics attend year after year. Many use the visit to source regional integrators and to track the trends that will shape manufacturing over the next cycle. If you're travelling from outside the region, book a hotel in Douai or nearby Arras early: local room demand spikes around the show dates.
