Safran Aircraft Engines is one of the world leaders in civil and military aircraft propulsion. As a subsidiary of the Safran Group, it designs, develops, and manufactures engines for major international aerospace programs. With thousands of employees spread across several industrial sites in France and around the world, supply chain management is a top strategic priority.

On June 11, 2026, the Safran Aerospace Museum hosted Supply Chain Day 2026, an annual event that Safran Aircraft Engines dedicates to its supply chain community to bring its teams together, share expertise, and recognize individual and collective contributions. The program included strategic roundtables in the morning, an awards ceremony and an exhibition forum in the afternoon, with over 180 in-person participants a packed, fast-paced day designed to ensure that everyone could contribute and be recognized.

To streamline the entire participant experience from on-site check-in to collecting feedback at the end of the day Safran Aircraft Engines deployed Wisembly as its event management software, freeing up the organizing teams to focus fully on engaging their community.

A Day Dedicated to the Supply Chain Community

Organizing an internal community day in the aerospace industry means balancing two complementary requirements: creating the conditions for an open and welcoming exchange among experts, while maintaining the operational rigor demanded by a sector where safety and traceability protocols are fundamental. A digital check-in system that handles incoming traffic without delays, interactive activities that keep participants engaged session after session, and a satisfaction survey deployed at just the right moment: it is this consistency in the process, from the first badge scanned to the last feedback collected, that transforms a well-organized event into a truly community-building experience.

For Supply Chain Day 2026, the organizational challenges were fundamental:

• streamlining on-site check-in through badge scanning to eliminate wait times upon entry,
• engaging attendees during sessions with live polls to maintain attention and encourage active participation,
• facilitating interactions between attendees and exhibitors during the exhibition forum by providing a setting conducive to professional discussions and team networking,
• create a space for continuous discussion via an event chat, allowing participants to respond and interact throughout the day,
• collect immediate feedback via a structured satisfaction survey, with an ambitious participation rate target,
• and ensure the security of the entire technical infrastructure in an industrial environment where tool reliability is a prerequisite.

For a community event as fast-paced as Supply Chain Day, Wisembly deployed a system that covered all participant touchpoints, ensuring a seamless transition between segments. The goal: to allow Antoine Sebe’s teams to focus entirely on engaging their community, with the technical infrastructure operating reliably in the background.

The day was structured around four stages, all synchronized within a single environment:

A Welcome Fit for the Venue

The Safran Aeronautics and Space Museum is no ordinary meeting place. It is a space steeped in the group’s industrial and technical history, which immediately lends the event a strong symbolic dimension. Wisembly’s badge scanning system helped manage the influx of attendees as soon as the doors opened, setting the right tone for a day designed to bring people together.

Voting sessions that turn spectators into active participants

Interactivity is the very mechanism that transforms a meeting into a communal experience. The four voting sessions held during the roundtables allowed participants to express themselves, take a stance, and see their opinions taken into account and displayed in real time. Projected onto a screen in front of the entire room, the results created particularly powerful moments of collective revelation: the moment when an individual opinion becomes visible, shared, and discussed, and when every supply chain expert realizes that their voice carries weight in the conversation.

A response rate that measures the community’s genuine engagement

The average participation rate of over 50% across all votes confirms this momentum. At an in-person event where attention is divided among sessions, peer discussions, and the exhibition area, maintaining this level of active participation demonstrates a community that has embraced the program and is fully engaged in it.

Safran Aircraft Engines represents the type of organization for which Wisembly was designed: a large global industrial group with high standards for technical reliability and data compliance, and a busy internal event schedule that calls for a robust and sustainable solution. This is a reality shared by many organizations of this scale, for which internal events have become a strategic tool for fostering cohesion, sharing expertise, and recognizing teams.

Equipped for autonomy, support when it’s needed

The Safran Aircraft Engines teams manage the majority of their events completely independently on the Wisembly platform, from creating the event page to tracking registrations and facilitating sessions. This level of in-house control reflects a genuine adoption of the tool, which has been integrated into the group’s organizational processes as a full-fledged resource.
For Supply Chain Day 2026, the event received enhanced support: Angela Lukale, Wisembly project manager, was on-site throughout the day to manage the technical setup in real time and coordinate the interactive activities from in-room polls to the distribution of the satisfaction survey. This hands-on support allowed the Safran Aircraft Engines teams to focus entirely on what mattered most: : to make this day a unifying event that lives up to the challenges facing the group.
