The Editor

In the heart of the Mauduit Salon, this free event requires registration and will welcome all women seeking professional growth, career changes, or inspiration. With over 60 engaged partners, 20 conferences and roundtables, and nearly 40 workshops, the 2025 edition promises a rich and varied content designed to meet the diverse realities of women's professional journeys.

A unique journey in 6 key steps

Exciting news this year: the creation of the Profession’L Journey, a guided path designed to support participants at every stage of their careers. This innovative approach beautifully reflects the philosophy of the event, which aims to assist women regardless of their situations or aspirations for growth. The six steps of this unique journey cover all professional challenges:
*Boosting your professional image to enhance your confidence and positioning,
*Exploring local opportunities and discovering a network of engaged players,
*Training and upgrading skills to keep moving forward,
*Creating your activity or business and realizing your ambitions,
*Balancing your professional and personal life, a central challenge for many,
*And finally, taking action to turn your projects into reality.

Inspiring and practical highlights

Among the 60 scheduled events, some conferences...They are set to be particularly inspiring:
*Marie Eloy (founder of Femmes des Territoires and Bouge ta Boîte, member of the High Council for Equality) will lead a conference titled “Will Women Save the World?” on Wednesday, October 8.
*Anne-Laure Nouvion, founder of the Academy of Neurons, will explore resilience and neuroscience, demonstrating how to turn a challenge into a growth lever.
*Catherine Barba, a key figure in French entrepreneurship, will share her insights on the theme: “The Secret to Convincing.”
These moments of exchange will be complemented by practical workshops, testimonials, and encounters with local players in training, employment, entrepreneurship, and coaching.

A Strong Territorial Anchor

The Pays de la Loire region was not chosen by chance. With a female employment rate of 93.7% among 25-54 year-olds (the highest in mainland France), this territory showcases the dynamism and diversity of women's professional journeys. By organizing its fair in Nantes, Profession’L fully integrates into this already thriving local ecosystem, providing a valuable space for all those who want to take a step forward.

A Commitment That Has Lasted Since 2012

Founded by Valentine Mulliez and Séverine Vanleene, the Profession’L Fair has been around for over 10 years and has established itself in several major French cities (Bordeaux, Lille, Nantes). Alongside its large events, the network fosters a community of nearly 30,000 followers on social media and develops Master Classes throughout the year.

With this new edition and its unique journey, the Profession’L Fair reaffirms its mission.n: make it easier for all women to advance in their careers and create a space of trust and opportunities to reveal their potential.
