The Artibat trade show was created in 1988 by the CAPEB (Confédération de l'Artisanat et des Petites Entreprises du Bâtiment) Pays de la Loire. Initially based in Nantes at the Beaujoire Exhibition Centre, the show moved to Rennes in 2010 to benefit from better infrastructures for its events: As the show is only held every two years, and to keep pace with its steady growth, exhibitors needed to be offered a venue that lived up to their expectations. In Rennes, this meant 75,000 m2 of exhibition space (70% of which is covered) and 30,000 parking spaces. In 2008, following the success of the 2006 edition, the show attempted to split into two events, one dedicated to structural work and the other to finishing work. This split was abandoned for the 2010 show, as it did not meet the expectations of the public. The show has established itself as a major meeting place for craftsmen, architects, builders and manufacturers in the sector. Today, with more than 1,000 exhibitors from all over Europe, the show is structured around five main areas of activity: structural work, finishing work, technical packages, equipment and large-scale materials, and offers more than 65,000m2 of exhibition space to more than 40,000 trade visitors.
For exhibitors, showcasing their expertise and know-how means equipping their stands with giant LED screens and transparent LED floors available for hire from a-loc Audiovisuel.
Edition 2025
Artibat 2025 will be held for the 19th time (according to our timeline) from 22 to 23 October 2025 at the Parc des Expositions de Rennes Aéroport, la Haie Gautrais, in Bruz.
Every two years since 1988, and since 2010 in Rennes, the show has organised its exhibition around 5 main themes, which this year will occupy respectively:
* Structural work, 14,000 m2
* Finishing work, 16,000 m2
* Technical Packages, 8,600 m2
* Equipment, 6,400 m2
* Major Equipment, 20,000 m2
As a key trade show in the Pays de la Loire Loire region, with a European audience, exhibitors will be keen to stand out from the crowd by hiring modern, high-performance equipment, such as LED flooring and a wall of very fine pitch LEDs, from their partner a-Loc Audiovisuel.
