On 6 and 7 February 2027, I will be there as a speaker at the Investment and Entrepreneurship Fair, at the Palais des Congrès de Mons.
Originally from Mons and now based in Sicily, I retain strong ties with the region. Returning there to speak and share my experience as an entrepreneur therefore has a special significance.
I had already been invited to the previous edition, but unfortunately I was unable to attend. The organisers renewed their invitation for 2027, and I am very pleased to be able to take part in these two days this time.
An event bringing together a range of entrepreneurial backgrounds
For its third edition, the fair has announced, among others, Jean-Michel Karam, founder of MEMSCAP and the IEVA Group, Laurent Tapie, Jean Galler and Louis Marty, founder of Merci Handy. Atilla Tufekci has been announced as patron of the 2027 edition.
According to figures published by the organisers, the 2026 edition brought together 2,500 participants for 40 talks. This diversity of backgrounds and topics makes the event particularly interesting: it offers an opportunity to discover how other entrepreneurs develop their businesses, invest and approach their markets.
I am pleased to be able to contribute my experience of selling on Amazon, an activity I have practised since 2018 and now share with the AMZSC community.
To discover the history of the fair, here is an interview with its creator, Florian Prodeo, published by Essential Talk.
Amazon arbitrage, a fully fledged entrepreneurial venture
I have practised Amazon arbitrage since 2018 and founded AMZ Seller Consulting to support French-speaking sellers in this field.
We are market operators: we identify price differences in products from well-known brands, analyse their demand and commit our capital to selected opportunities. Amazon then gives us access to customers already present on its marketplaces.
Logistics also rely on a structured organisation. Prep centres receive, prepare and ship our goods to Amazon warehouses. With FBA, Amazon then handles the storage, preparation and dispatch of orders to customers.
If you would like to discover how this model works, you can read my guide to Amazon arbitrage.
This structure makes it possible to build a business without having to handle every logistical step personally. In particular, it enables me today to run my business from Sicily while supporting AMZSC members.
Settling on the island also gave rise to another entrepreneurial project: Acheter en Sicile, which supports French speakers in preparing and coordinating their property purchase there.
Two days to meet
I speak with AMZSC members every week, particularly during our group video calls. The fair will be an opportunity to meet in person, continue our discussions and meet those discovering my work.
I will be there on both days. Whether you already sell on Amazon, are considering getting started, or are simply curious to discover this activity, come and see me. We can talk about your project, your questions and what Amazon arbitrage involves today.
Details of my talk will be announced shortly
My participation is confirmed. I will share the subject, time and format of my talk shortly, as soon as these details are available. This article will be updated to help you prepare your visit.

I look forward to seeing you in Mons on 6 and 7 February 2027!
