Vrac Tech 2026 in Douai: bulk materials trade show

Vrac Tech is France's only trade show entirely dedicated to industrial bulk materials. The 2026 edition, the 10th, takes over Douai in the heart of the Hauts-de-France industrial hub on 17, 18 and 19 November. Three days to explore, test and compare technical solutions for transferring, storing, metering or securing bulk materials. The show brings together more than 300 exhibitors and brands covering the entire supply chain: processing, conveying, storage and handling, measurement and control, filling and packaging, safety and environment, maintenance and logistics. With 85% of visitors arriving with a specific purchase plan, Vrac Tech stands as the annual meeting point for manufacturers, suppliers and decision-makers in the sector. Beyond the exhibition floor, the programme features conferences and interactive workshops, the Vrac Tech Innovation Competition, guided themed tours (ATEX and Data Processing & AI) and the AI Fresco, a 20-minute collaborative workshop to grasp the real applications of artificial intelligence in industry. Its intimate format is known for the quality of discussions and the specialised technical advice on offer. For attendees travelling to Douai, the Parc des Expositions du Rivage Gayant has direct links to Lille and the rest of the region. Booking accommodation near the venue early is key to making the most of the three days, as local hotel capacity is concentrated around the town centre and main access roads.
