NEZA CONNECT
VivaTech 2027
Paris, France | 15 – 22 June 2027 | 7 nights
VivaTech is Europe's biggest stage for startups and tech — and it happens in Paris, which means your conference badge comes with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop. This is the trip where you pitch by day and stroll the Seine by night, with your Neza Connect crew right there for both.
The Conference
Viva Technology (VivaTech) is Europe's largest startup and tech event, confirmed for 16–19 June 2027 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles — bringing together founders, investors, and the world's biggest tech companies for four days of product launches, funding announcements and deal-making. For East African founders and tech leaders, it's one of the most concentrated doses of European tech capital and attention available anywhere.
Conference entrance fee is not included in this package. Delegate passes are booked directly with the organiser — choose your pass type and register here: vivatechnology.com/register →
Your Day-by-Day
DAY 1 Tue 15 Jun
Touchdown in Paris
Fly via Istanbul into Paris, landing in the evening. A private transfer takes you to Eklo Hotels Paris Porte de Versailles, practically on top of the venue. Settle in, then a welcome dinner with the Neza Connect group — the rooftop restaurant's Eiffel Tower views setting the tone for the week ahead.
DAY 2 Wed 16 Jun
VivaTech Opens
A three-minute walk to Paris Expo for VivaTech's opening day — founders, investors and the world's biggest tech names filling the halls. Spend the day on the exhibition floor and in the keynotes, collecting contacts as you go. This evening, dinner as a group, comparing notes on the day's biggest launches.
DAY 3 Thu 17 Jun
Deeper Into VivaTech
Day two brings the deal-room energy — investor meetings, side conversations, and the startups worth watching. Tonight, a Seine River cruise with a three-course dinner — Paris's landmarks lit up as you glide past, a proper way to close out a heavy conference day.
DAY 4 Fri 18 Jun
VivaTech Continues
Another full day of keynotes and networking on the VivaTech floor. Tonight, the group explores the Marais district for dinner — cobblestone streets, easy conversation, some of the city's best late-night energy.
DAY 5 Sat 19 Jun
VivaTech Closes
The final day of VivaTech — closing keynotes and last conversations before delegates scatter home across the globe. Tonight, the group celebrates with a farewell dinner, toasting a summit well attended.
DAY 6 Sun 20 Jun
Louvre & Mona Lisa
Badges off, into the art capital of the world. A guided tour of the Louvre with reserved access to the Mona Lisa — skip the crowds, take in one of the world's great museums properly. Dinner tonight in the Latin Quarter, a relaxed evening after a day of world-class art.
DAY 7 Mon 21 Jun
Eiffel Tower Summit
Dedicated reserved access to the Eiffel Tower's summit or second floor — Paris spread out beneath you from one of the most famous viewpoints on earth. Farewell dinner tonight, last stories from the week before everyone heads home.
DAY 8 Tue 22 Jun
Homeward Bound
Breakfast at leisure, then a transfer to the airport for your flights home via Istanbul — landing back with new European tech contacts and a week in one of the world's great cities.
Where You'll Stay
Eklo Hotels Paris Porte de Versailles
3-Star · Steps from the Venue
Eklo sits practically on top of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles — some pavilions are a 3-minute walk away, making this about as close as you can get to VivaTech without staying inside the venue itself. It's also a genuinely fun place to stay: eco-friendly, design-forward, and built for a social, convivial kind of trip.
Rooms are compact but well-designed, with dark warm tones for a calm reset after long conference days. The real draw is the 9th-floor French Kiss rooftop restaurant and bar — Eiffel Tower panoramas with DJ sets, karaoke and live music through the week, exactly the kind of evening energy that turns a work trip into something you'll talk about for months.
Porte de Versailles metro station is a five-minute walk, putting the rest of Paris — the Louvre, the Marais, the Seine — easily within reach for your free days.
✈ Distance to venue: approx. 200m–1 km from Paris Expo Porte de Versailles — some pavilions just a 3-minute walk away, effectively zero commute during VivaTech week.
