Since the 1st January 2007, the Grand Lyon urban community has delegated the operation of the city’s congress centre (Cité Centre de Congrès de Lyon) to GL Events, under a lease agreement. This agreement will expire at the beginning of 2017. Consequently, Grand Lyon wished to compile a report on the results of the current concession. In accordance with the strategy to attract more international congresses, the urban community decided to examine different types of operating structures that could be implemented in the future public service concession.
