STUDENT HOUSING SUMMIT FRANCE 2026
About the event
Student Housing Summit France 2026 took place in Paris on 9 June 2026, bringing together more than 100 senior professionals from across the student housing sector to connect, network and discuss investment, development and operations in the French market.
The programme focused on the key forces shaping the French student housing market, from capital allocation and supply constraints to operational performance and affordability pressures.
"The real value for the sector comes from connecting data with judgement. France is entering a more demanding phase for student housing, and that requires more than numbers on a page. It requires high-quality market insight, practical interpretation and a forum where senior decision-makers can challenge assumptions directly with one another. That is exactly what we set out to create in Paris."
Samuel Vetrak Chief Executive Officer, BONARD
