Destination Dijon For your event

Choosing Dijon means offering your participants far more than just a venue to gather: it’s a complete experience in the heart of Burgundy, combining outstanding craftsmanship, heritage, gastronomy and the art of living. By drawing on the expertise of the Convention Bureau, you’ll benefit from a local partner – free of charge – to turn your project into a successful event.

A connected destination, at the heart of Europe

A city on a human scale, Dijon enjoys a strategic location in Europe: just 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris and Lyon, and 2 hours from Lausanne by TGV. This ease of access makes it simple for your conference delegates to reach the city, whether they are travelling from France or abroad.

Once here, the city is easy to explore on foot, by bike or by tram. These eco-friendly transport options make it simple to get between meeting venues, accommodation, restaurants and activities, whilst supporting a sustainable approach. From the station, the public transport network provides quick access to the main venues, including the Palais des Congrès, which is just 7 minutes away. The pedestrianised city centre encourages short, pleasant journeys. Taxis, bicycles and other sustainable transport options round off the offering for a seamless experience.

Facilities suitable for all your formats

Dijon has a robust accommodation capacity, supported by more than 4,700 rooms and major facilities capable of hosting everything from international conferences to seminars, conventions, trade fairs and corporate events.

These facilities enable the city to host events of all sizes, whilst offering participants a modern, functional and inspiring setting.

Programmes of excellence that make sense

Dijon, Burgundy, is strengthening its position as a venue for major conferences by capitalising on its areas of excellence: healthcare, agri-food, wine production, ecology and the food transition.

Organising your event in Dijon therefore gives real meaning to your programme: the content can naturally be enriched with visits, meetings, demonstrations or experiences linked to these themes. This is a real asset for scientific, professional or institutional conferences seeking to ground their discussions in a region with specialist expertise.
