Networking
speed-dating

A highlight of the Échelle Un Festival, the client-architect speed dating sessions are back for the 2026 edition of the festival, held in the heart of the Chapelle des Récollets in Paris’s 10th arrondissement

The speed dating sessions are designed to be a friendly occasion in keeping with the festival’s spirit: an opportunity to exchange ideas, build a network and forge links with project owners interested in the emerging architectural scene.

Each young practice must pre-register in advance. Slots may be allocated subject to availability of places and project owners (a waiting list may be established). Practices will have 10 minutes per session to discuss with the project owners assigned to them.
