Maison de la Chimie joins La CLÉMaison de la Chimie has chosen to join La CLÉ – the Collective of Event Venues, a dynamic network bringing together more than 230 seminar and event venues across France.
wHY LA CLÉ ?
Because we share the same values: professional excellence, a commitment to advancing the sector, and above all, a desire to create connections. La CLÉ is a non-profit association (under the 1901 French law) that works to unite venue managers around common projects, exchanges of best practices, and reflections on the major challenges facing the events industry.
By joining this caring and engaged community, we affirm our commitment to staying at the forefront of developments in our profession. Throughout the year, La CLÉ organizes inspiring gatherings—seminars, evening events, breakfasts—that foster collective reflection.
Commitment, accessibility, and cooperation between stakeholders: these strong themes championed by La CLÉ fully resonate with our priorities at La Maison de la Chimie. Together, we work to promote events that are more sustainable, more human-centered, and more accessible.
We are proud to be part of this collective adventure and look forward to contributing to the reflections and initiatives driven by La CLÉ.

We are proud to have contributed to this success through a demanding process, providing our expertise and suitable infrastructure.Among the flagship initiatives undertaken, aiming to organize a zero-waste, low-carbon event with a positive social impact:
• A 100% vegetarian cocktail, promoting local products thanks to Maison Lenôtre;
• Durable tableware, excluding any single-use items;
• A more environmentally friendly, intangible giveaway;
• A strong commitment to gender parity across all professions;
• A venue and content accessible to everyone;
