All due deference to the host. To open Manor’s 40th anniversary congress in Venice, Grégory Mavoian, the network’s president, first gave the floor to Jean Korcia who steered the GIE for 20 years, up to 2022.
In a video message, the latter praised the women and men who have built this «great family» over the years.
The historic president stressed the values that have guided Manor since its creation: the trust between agencies, partners and suppliers and the desire to preserve everyone’s independence.
” Manor is not only a professional network; it is also a true human adventure,” he recalled.

Recruiting in Europe with the promise of returning 100% of incentives
A message that sounded like a new handover to Grégory Mavoian, who did not delay in unveiling the awaited announcement: « We will set out to conquer Europe, not to plant a flag but to weigh in », said the president at the opening of the congress, referring to a necessary reaction to the concentration of the sector.He is betting on a promise that, in his view, could persuade beyond borders: the 100% return of incentives to members. « It is what convinced 450 agencies in France. It will convince agencies across Europe. »
The European expansion should also give Manor more influence with suppliers. A producer could tomorrow sign with the network in several countries, with one point of contact and a single rule of the game.
Manor also intends to serve as a relay for brands still seeking their place in certain markets, as the network says it has done in France.
Facilitating Transmissions Within the Group
The challenge also lies in facilitating transmissions and closer ties within the group. With the concentration of distribution, some agencies will be sold, transferred, or merged.
Will these movements occur with a competitor or inside Manor? A member who wishes to transfer could find a buyer within the network, and someone looking to grow could find an agency to take over there.
« Every agency that slips away from us is a loss for all. Every rapprochement inside Manor is a gain for everyone. »
Grégory Mavoian also warned about the rise in fuel prices and its forthcoming effects on airfares. He believes 2027 could be « the year of the largest rise in the history of European air transport ».
