Forum Teratec is the annual meeting for high-performance computing (HPC), digital simulation, artificial intelligence, big-data management and quantum computing, organised by the Teratec Association and run for its 21st edition in 2026 under the operational organisation of Infora Events (per forum-teratec.com and l'Informaticien, checked 21 September 2026). The forum brings major issues in these fields to what the organiser frames as an "industrial scale" discussion. ## When and where does Forum Teratec take place in 2026? The 2026 edition runs 20 to 21 October 2026. The venue is the Palais des Congres de Paris, Porte Maillot, the same venue used by Le Printemps des Etudes and Salon SME (both tracked elsewhere on EventsIndex). ## Who organises Forum Teratec? The Teratec Association is the organisation behind the forum; its operational organisation "is now entrusted to Infora Events" for 2026, per forum-teratec.com's own press release dated 6 May 2026, checked 21 September 2026. ## Who attends Forum Teratec? The organiser's 2026 figures are around 2,000 decision-makers, 70 exhibitors and 90 international speakers (per forum-teratec.com; unverifiable information, organiser figures not independently audited). The audience is decision-makers in HPC, digital simulation, AI, big data and quantum computing, spanning industry, research and public-sector actors. ## What's new at Forum Teratec in 2026? The most visible change on record is organisational: the forum's operational organisation moved to Infora Events for the 2026, 21st edition, per the organiser's own 6 May 2026 press release. No further dated comparison of programme content against the 2025 edition was found in this research pass. ## What's on the Forum Teratec 2026 programme? The forum covers major issues in HPC, digital simulation, artificial intelligence, big-data management and quantum computing (per forum-teratec.com and l'Informaticien, checked 21 September 2026). A full session-by-session agenda with named speakers beyond the 90-speaker organiser figure was not retrieved in this research pass. ## What session formats does Forum Teratec use? Documented formats: conference sessions and an exhibitor floor of around 70 exhibitors. No further structural detail (stage count, workshop tracks) was found in this research pass. ## What side events run alongside Forum Teratec? Not publicly disclosed. No separate satellite programme was found in the sources checked. ## How much do Forum Teratec tickets cost? Not publicly disclosed in the sources checked this session. ## How to become a speaker at Forum Teratec? Not publicly disclosed. No call-for-speakers page was found in the sources checked. ## How to become a sponsor or exhibitor at Forum Teratec? Not publicly disclosed with a specific contact in this research pass; exhibitor enquiries likely route through Infora Events as the 2026 operating organiser. ## Who sponsors Forum Teratec in 2026? Not publicly disclosed. No named sponsor list for 2026 was found in the sources checked. ## What types of companies are majority represented at Forum Teratec? No independently audited breakdown was found. The organiser's own framing points to HPC, AI, simulation and quantum-computing vendors and research institutions, alongside industry decision-makers evaluating these technologies. ## How do you get press accreditation for Forum Teratec? Not publicly disclosed. No press accreditation page was found in the sources checked. ## What press coverage has Forum Teratec received? Coverage found in this pass includes a dedicated feature from L'Informaticien on the 2026 edition's HPC, AI, simulation and quantum themes at industrial scale, alongside trade-listing and community entries (parisjetaime.com, alliancy.fr, imt-nord-europe.org, lehibou.com, eventseye.com), without an independent attendance audit. ## How reliable is the reported press coverage of Forum Teratec? Mixed. L'Informaticien is an established French IT trade publication and its 2026 piece engages with the forum's technical themes rather than simply restating a press release, but no independent count of the 2,000-decision-maker or 70-exhibitor figures was found. No media partner is recorded against this event in the database. ## Who should skip Forum Teratec? Buyers outside HPC, digital simulation, AI or quantum computing: the forum is scoped specifically to that technical community, at a relatively focused scale (70 exhibitors) compared with the larger trade shows in this batch. ## Where does Forum Teratec sit in the Paris autumn calendar? Forum Teratec runs 20 to 21 October 2026 at the Palais des Congres de Paris, overlapping with the final day of SIAL Paris (17 to 21 October, Paris Nord Villepinte) and immediately before Les Rendez-vous Carnot and Architect@Work France Paris (both 21 to 22 October), all tracked elsewhere on EventsIndex. ## Are there other Forum Teratec editions outside Paris? Not documented in the sources checked this session; the forum is organised as a single flagship Paris gathering by the Teratec Association. ## What language is Forum Teratec conducted in? Not explicitly documented; as a French association's forum with 90 international speakers, French and English are both likely working languages, but no organiser statement confirming this was found. ## Can you attend Forum Teratec remotely, or watch sessions afterward? Not publicly disclosed. No livestream or on-demand offer was found in this research pass. ## What is Forum Teratec's refund and cancellation policy? Not publicly disclosed. No refund or cancellation clause was found in the sources checked. ## Is Forum Teratec accessible for attendees with disabilities? Not publicly disclosed as an event-specific policy. The Palais des Congres de Paris is a modern conference venue with general accessibility provisions; no Forum Teratec-specific accommodation process was confirmed. ## How do you get to the Palais des Congres de Paris? The Palais des Congres de Paris is at Porte Maillot, served directly by Paris Metro Line 1 (Porte Maillot station) and RER C. ## Why does Forum Teratec matter to an HPC or quantum computing professional? *Because it is the established, 21-edition-old French meeting point specifically for HPC, digital simulation, AI and quantum computing, drawing 90 international speakers (organiser figure) to one Paris venue rather than requiring separate attendance at broader AI or computing conferences where these specialist topics are one track among many.* ## Why should a reader treat Forum Teratec's figures with care? *Because the 2,000-decision-maker, 70-exhibitor and 90-speaker figures found in this research are organiser figures, restated by trade press without an independent count found in the sources checked.* ## Where can I find official information about Forum Teratec? Official site: forum-teratec.com. This research could not fetch forum-teratec.com directly (see Notes); readers should treat the official site as the primary source ahead of anything summarised here. --- **Last verified:** 2026-09-21 **Next review:** 2026-10-21 **Notes:** Creation, not a refonte: the database held only name, city, country and website before this pass. This event replaces one of four originally selected Paris candidates for this batch, dropped after research found them to be database duplicates of already-fiched or already-merged events (see the Equipbaie-Metalexpo and TechSolutions-cluster fiches' own Notes). Method note: WebFetch (direct page retrieval) is blocked network-wide in this session's environment; this research relies on WebSearch result summaries only, cited by URL, with a deliberately reduced search budget (part of a batch of 20 Paris creations researched leanly). Facts confirmed against the database's events_editions row: date_start 2026-10-20 matches sources found; date_end filled in here as 2026-10-21. Database elements added: date_end, organiser, venue. Sources checked 2026-09-21 (all via WebSearch, not direct fetch): forum-teratec.com, forum-teratec.com/en/lassociation-teratec, forum-teratec.com's 6 May 2026 press release PDF, linformaticien.com, parisjetaime.com, alliancy.fr, imt-nord-europe.org, lehibou.com, eventseye.com. Not found and left as documented gaps: ticket pricing; a named 2026 speaker roster; sponsorship terms; a press accreditation process. The n1/n2/n3 pipeline has not been run on this record.
