Our activities and special programs for General Attendees

Explore our exhibitors in the Grand Palais nave, attend conferences, discover impactful artworks—there’s something for everyone, including kids through the Families for Change program. And the Impact Job Fair will help you find your next meaningful job or training. 

Attend any Conference!

Visitors were inspired by a rich program of conferences and met pioneers of change. Whether they came from the corporate world, civil society, politics, or local communities, we were committed to representing the full spectrum of societal actors on stage.

Discover numerous Solutions for the planet in the nave of the Grand Palais.

ChangeNOW 2026 gathered the most promising innovations and showcased 1,000 concrete solutions across diverse themes: Biodiversity, Changing Habits, Circular Economy, Cities, Education, Energy, Fashion, Food and agriculture, Health, Inclusion, Mobility, Ocean & water…

Families!

Our Family Program successfully engaged kids and parents through 10+ essential topics, from ocean protection to AI. Highlights included a giant treasure hunt with Science & Vie, inspiring talks by eco-adventurers, and creative artivism workshops. It was a unique opportunity for families and companies to explore the transition together.

ChangeNOW’s Impact Job Fair was back at the Grand Palais! Thank you to all the talents and companies who joined us to make the ecological transition the heart of their careers.

Artistic Experience!

More than 15 artistic capsules were on display at the Grand Palais. Our volunteers were happy to explain the message behind each piece. You also discovered live artistic performances on stage, including dance, singing, and many other surprises!

Wednesday was dedicated to the 1.5°C Challenge, an interactive journey featuring concrete solutions, inspiring talks, and collective intelligence sessions between leaders and youth.
