The Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales (acronym SMCL) is a major annual event in France dedicated to the public sector. It is organized by the Moniteur group in partnership with the AMF (the Association of Mayors of France), which holds its annual congress simultaneously.
Created at the turn of the 21st century (first edition in 2000), the SMCL has become over the years the reference event for local elected officials: mayors, municipal councilors, representatives of public organizations, etc.

More than 1000 exhibitors, 60,000 visitors, mostly elected officials, go there every year. The SMCL is organized around 9 sectors of activity covering the main areas of territorial management. Among the sectors of activity explored, we mainly find:
- The Energy Transition : Faced with climate challenges, the show offers solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of communities.
- The Smart City : Growing urbanization has highlighted the need for digital tools to optimize city management.
- Sustainable Mobility : Questions of transport and mobility have become central, with debates around eco-mobility and infrastructure.
- Social Cohesion : The fight against inequalities and the promotion of living together are key issues discussed during recent editions.
- Cybersecurity : in order to inform communities, and help them fight effectively against these attacks of which they are often victims.
An Innovation Prize competition rewards the best solutions intended for local authorities.
To highlight the solutions offered to local authorities and town halls, exhibitors will wish to rent recent equipment: LED screens, touch terminals, giant display screen, as well as all the sound systems to liven up their stand: HF microphone, speakers, amplifier.
