Septentrion Finance has advised the shareholders of FXM Events on their merger with the S’cape Group

Founded in 2002 by François-Xavier Morel, FXM Events is more than an event management company: it creates value, brings people together, and develops skills through events. FXM Events has quickly established itself as a recognized player in Northern France thanks to its expertise in corporate events, its creativity, and its ability to support local companies 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 abroad. With more than 70 employees and €10M in gross margin, the S’cape Group is now one of the leading independent players in the live communication sector.

With locations now in Paris, Lyon, and Lille, the S’cape Group is strengthening its national presence and reaffirming a model built on proximity, responsiveness, and in-depth knowledge of local markets.

“Joining the S’cape Group is a tremendous opportunity for FXM Events to continue its growth while staying true to what has made us strong for over 20 years: our regional roots, creativity, and people-first approach. FXM Events becomes the Group’s Lille-based agency, maintaining its team, values, and expertise. It is also a great opportunity for our clients, to whom we now offer new capabilities and synergies to imagine even more engaging and sustainable brand experiences.”
— Elodie Schmidt, Managing Director of FXM Events.

“This partnership aligns perfectly with our corporate vision: growing without losing our identity, nurturing the proximity, creativity, and team spirit that define us. FXM Events shares the same standards and the same entrepreneurial mindset.”
— Stéphane Abitbol, President of the S’cape Group.

This transaction is effective as of October 30, 2025.
