The sports and business meeting in Rouen is making a comeback. Organized by Rouen Métropole Basket, Patrice Begay, founder of JALPB Conseil, and Jeanne Lemoine, captain of the event, it will take place on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, starting from 3:30 pm at Kindarena in Rouen.
Last year, the event brought together over 1,200 participants. Conferences, networking sessions, and a basketball match will set the pace for the afternoon and evening. The main theme is clearly focused on innovation, organizational transformation, and the role of people in performance.
Fifteen executives have been invited to the 2026 edition from various sectors. Among the top speakers are Thomas Derichebourg, CEO of the Derichebourg Group, Awa Sagna, CEO of Peulh Fulani, Jacques-Olivier Abiteboul, CEO of JJA Group, and Pascal Houdayer, CEO of Boiron Laboratories. Normandy will also be represented by Olivier Legrand, CEO of Revima Normandie en Seine-Maritime, Samuel Brigantino, CEO of Glass Express in Eure, as well as Florent Poirier and Marie Poirier-Fauvin, CEO and director of Paul Marius.
The lineup will be complemented by Alexandra Bricout, CEO of Numeum Normandie, the “Fantastic Climate” advocates for ecological transition, and Auriane Mallo-Breton, a double Olympic fencing medalist at the Paris Olympic Games. These profiles illustrate the connections between sport, societal commitment, and economic leadership.
Participation in conferences and networking sessions is free. A premium option is available for extending discussions with speakers over a cocktail and enjoying the Rouen Métropole Basket match against Roanne in VIP conditions.
