It is hosted by WeRoad, a European travel community and brand. The event is deliberately horizontal, welcoming founders, investors, freelancers, international visitors and the simply curious, with the first drink offered. ## The 2026 edition: 19 June at PLAT/FORM The Eventbrite listing places the event on the evening of 19 June from 19:00 at PLAT/FORM in the 13th arrondissement, with free social drinks and pizzas and a first drink on WeRoad. There is no selection or screening, in keeping with the open framing. A separate WeRoad listing shows a cancelled alternative on 20 June at a different venue, so the active Eventbrite listing is treated as the reference. ## Where it sits in the VivaTech week The evening runs on 19 June, the third business day of VivaTech, as one of the few deliberately open networking formats of the week. Its no-selection approach contrasts with the week's many invitation-only events. ## Who attends the WeRoad Networking Event - Founders and startup people - Investors and people seeking investment - Freelancers and tech professionals - International visitors and the curious ## What the format includes - Open networking drinks with no selection - Free social drinks and pizzas - A first drink offered by the host No formal speaker programme is published. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the link with VivaTech?
