The Touring Exhibitions Organisation (Teo), a one-stop resource platform for the international touring exhibitions community, has announced the 2027 Touring Exhibitions Pavilion, taking place from 12 to 14 January in Paris.
The event includes two days of networking, presentations, exhibition showcases, and social gatherings at the international Museum Connections trade fair, followed by a day of exploring exhibitions throughout the city.
The Pavilion unites museums, cultural institutions, exhibition producers, specialist providers, and touring professionals worldwide, providing a dedicated space to explore new projects, share ideas, and foster partnerships within the touring exhibitions sector.
Hosted by Teo at the heart of Museum Connections, the Pavilion will feature a large lounge and booth area, alongside a programme of presentations, meetings and networking opportunities tailored for the international touring exhibitions community.

A programme tailored for the touring exhibitions community
Attendees can explore a broad array of exhibitions touring internationally, covering art, science, natural history, design, history, world cultures, popular culture, and contemporary themes.
The event also offers a key platform for producers and hosts to connect directly and discuss potential collaborations.
A comprehensive schedule of conference sessions will explore current practices, emerging trends, and innovative approaches in touring exhibitions. Special presentations curated by Teo will showcase recent productions and experiences from organisations engaged in this field.
More details about the conference program will be provided later in the year.
Visitors can sign up to attend the Touring Exhibitions Pavilion and enjoy free entry to Museum Connections, along with updates on Pavilion activities and events.
The call for speakers for the touring exhibitions conference sessions will open on 1 September 2026. This opportunity is exclusively available to Teo members.
Additionally, a limited number of booths will be offered within the Pavilion for exhibition producers, hosting organisations, and specialist providers. These booths are reserved for Teo members.
Earlier this year, Teo hosted the 2026 edition of Teo Live, an annual online event that invites the international touring exhibition community to connect and explore the industry's latest trends, productions, and practices.
