12/11/2025
Founded in 2022 by François-Xavier Morel, FXM Events is more than just an event planning company: it creates value, brings people together, and educates through events. FXM Events has established itself as a recognized player in northern France for its expertise in corporate events, its creativity, and its ability to support local businesses during their key communication moments.
Since its creation in 1999, the S'cape Group has been designing high value-added event communication strategies for companies, institutions, and brands in France and internationally. With more than 70 employees and €10 million in gross margin, S’cape Group is now one of the leading independent players in the live communication sector.
With offices now in Paris, Lyon, and Lille, the S'cape Group is strengthening its national presence and affirming a model based on proximity, responsiveness, and in-depth knowledge of the regions.
"Joining the S'cape Group is a tremendous opportunity for FXM Events to continue its growth while remaining true to what has been our strength for more than 20 years: regional roots, creativity, and people. FXM Events becomes the Group's Lille-based agency, retaining its team, values, and expertise. It is also a great opportunity for our clients, to whom we now offer new expertise and synergies, to create even more engaging and sustainable brand experiences." - Elodie Schimdt, Director of FXM Events.
" This merger is in line with our business plan: to grow without losing our soul, by cultivating the proximity, creativity, and team spirit that are our strengths. FXM Events shares the same high standards and entrepreneurial energy as us." - Stéphane Abitbol, President of the S'cape Group.
This transaction takes effect on October 30, 2025.
