Frequently asked questions
Which venue suits a medical congress, Nice or Cannes?
Nice Acropolis is close to the airport and the city centre, and works well for mid-sized congresses. The Palais des Festivals in Cannes offers more exhibition space but is busier during festival periods; we compare both against your dates.
How are healthcare hospitality rules handled?
French rules on transparency and hospitality apply to healthcare professionals. We structure hotel, meals and social events with your compliance team and keep a clear audit trail.
When should the venue be booked?
For a congress of this size, twelve to eighteen months ahead is common, especially for the spring and autumn peaks. Hotel blocks are secured alongside the venue.
