Eco-responsibility at the heart of events: making every moment meaningful in 2025

In 2025, the events industry is no longer seen solely in terms of logist­ics and enter­tain­ment: it is seen as a respons­ib­il­ity, a com­mit­ment, a lever for trans­form­a­tion. The object­ive of redu­cing our car­bon foot­print res­on­ates more strongly than ever in our minds and in our spe­cific­a­tions. At a time when every action counts, the event is going green, stream­lin­ing and rethink­ing itself.

Gone are the super­flu­ous, replaced by eco­lo­gic­al aware­ness: recycled mater­i­als, drastic waste reduc­tion, short cir­cuits, soft mobil­ity, trace­ab­il­ity of sup­pli­ers, respons­ible man­age­ment of resources, car­bon off­set­ting… The events of tomor­row and today are inten­ded to be mean­ing­ful, cata­lysts for col­lect­ive change.

Our CSR com­mit­ment for your events

As part of this dynam­ic, the Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville is com­mit­ted to work­ing along­side event organ­isers. With ISO 20121 cer­ti­fic­a­tion, the inter­na­tion­al stand­ard for respons­ible man­age­ment sys­tems applied to the event industry, the con­ven­tion centre anchored between land and sea is not con­tent to simply fol­low the trend: it is a major play­er in the trans­form­a­tion. Deau­ville, just two hours from Par­is, is one of the first 5 towns in France to be awar­ded the ‘Innov­at­ive Sus­tain­able Des­tin­a­tion’ label.

Every event we host is an oppor­tun­ity to com­bine oper­a­tion­al excel­lence and eco­lo­gic­al trans­ition. Wheth­er you’re organ­ising a gen­er­al meet­ing, a sci­entif­ic sym­posi­um, a cor­por­ate con­ven­tion or a cul­tur­al fest­iv­al, you’ll bene­fit from per­son­al­ised sup­port that incor­por­ates eco-respons­ible solu­tions at every stage: choice of mater­i­als and part­ners, energy optim­isa­tion, rais­ing par­ti­cipants’ aware­ness, flow and waste man­age­ment, ration­al logist­ics… Noth­ing is left to chance.

Hybrid events: Pushing back the boundaries of connection

The world is more con­nec­ted than ever, and hybrid events are strik­ing proof of this. Com­bin­ing the magic of the face-to-face with the power of the vir­tu­al, they offer unri­valled flex­ib­il­ity and unlim­ited reach.
At CID, our cut­ting-edge tech­no­lo­gic­al equip­ment and the expert­ise of our tech­nic­al part­ners guar­an­tee a smooth, immers­ive trans­mis­sion, wheth­er your par­ti­cipants are in our rooms or at a distance.

Artificial intelligence: the spark of innovation for events in 2025

Arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence is no longer a dis­tant concept reserved for labor­at­or­ies or major tech­no­logy indus­tries. In 2025, it is every­where, and espe­cially where it is increas­ingly expec­ted: at the heart of events. It is revolu­tion­ising the way we design, man­age and exper­i­ence events, both for pro­fes­sion­als and the gen­er­al pub­lic. More than just a tool, it’s a real spark of innov­a­tion that’s rede­fin­ing the codes of mod­ern event management.

Event optimisation using AI

Today, thanks to AI, every phase of an event can be optimised:

• Before the event: pre­dic­tion of regis­tra­tion flows, fine-tuned audi­ence seg­ment­a­tion, cre­ation of per­son­al­ised itin­er­ar­ies, intel­li­gent man­age­ment of regis­tra­tions and multi-chan­nel communication.
• Dur­ing the event: real-time sat­is­fac­tion ana­lys­is, dynam­ic adapt­a­tion of broad­cast con­tent, instant trans­la­tion, enhanced inter­ac­tion via chat­bot or voice assistants.
• After the event: auto­mated per­form­ance eval­u­ation, per­son­al­ised recom­mend­a­tions for future edi­tions, gen­er­a­tion of intel­li­gent reports.

In this con­text, the Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville is pos­i­tion­ing itself as a facil­it­at­or of innov­a­tion. By mak­ing its con­nec­ted infra­struc­tures and eco­sys­tem of tech­no­logy part­ners avail­able, it offers an ideal play­ground for events that want to push back the bound­ar­ies of what is possible.

AI is more than just a tech­no­lo­gic­al show­case. It’s intel­li­gently integ­rated into the very archi­tec­ture of events, in the ser­vice of people, exper­i­ence and impact. Wheth­er it’s con­fig­ur­ing intel­li­gent spaces accord­ing to fore­cast flows, offer­ing a vir­tu­al assist­ant to guide par­ti­cipants, or live ana­lys­is of the emo­tions aroused by inter­ven­tions, everything is done to cap­ture responses in real time and adapt them to all scenarios.

Let’s think of AI as an accel­er­at­or of per­form­ance, but also of emo­tion. It enables us to cre­ate smooth­er, more enga­ging and more mem­or­able exper­i­ences. And always tail­or-made. The Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville bridges the gap between cut­ting-edge tech­no­logy and the demands of events. With its highly con­nec­ted equip­ment and expert part­ners in mod­u­lar digit­al solu­tions, it trans­forms con­cepts into inter­act­ive, impact­ful exper­i­ences, and looks to the future.

Personalisation: touching the heart of each participant

In a world sat­ur­ated with mes­sages, images and stim­uli, we need to stand out from the crowd by bring­ing emo­tions to life. In 2025, the events industry is enter­ing a new era: that of hyper-per­son­al­isa­tion. Gone are the days of rigid formats and gen­er­ic exper­i­ences. Par­ti­cipants no longer just want to attend an event, they want to be part of it. To feel an authen­t­ic con­nec­tion, to vibrate in uni­son, to leave enchanted.

It is pre­cisely this quest for emo­tion and unique­ness that the Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville makes pos­sible. Here, each event is tailored to the iden­tity, object­ives and spe­cif­ic expect­a­tions of its tar­get audi­ence. There’s no set format, no fixed itin­er­ary: everything is flex­ible, and everything is designed around the story to be told.

With its 18,000 m² of flex­ible spaces, ran­ging from ultra-equipped aud­it­or­i­ums to more intim­ate rooms, not to men­tion eleg­ant exhib­i­tion halls, the CID offers a range of infin­ite atmo­spheres and con­fig­ur­a­tions for a gen­er­al meet­ing or a sci­entif­ic con­gress as well as for an event for the gen­er­al pub­lic in Nor­mandy. Every square metre avail­able for event hire can be redesigned, every atmo­sphere revis­ited to cre­ate an event that is true to the DNA of each brand. Wheth­er you are organ­ising a sem­in­ar, a con­ven­tion, an awards cere­mony or a product launch, every moment can be scrip­ted, anim­ated, enhanced… all just 2 hours from Par­is.

CID support: putting people at the heart of every event

Per­son­al­isa­tion is not lim­ited to the ven­ues. It is also exper­i­enced through human sup­port. A ded­ic­ated team works by your side, attent­ive to every nuance, every detail, to orches­trate a smooth, impact­ful jour­ney, aligned with your ambitions.

Visu­al atmo­spheres, sceno­graphy, inter­act­ive con­tent, sens­ory exper­i­ences, vis­it­or path­ways, anim­a­tions… everything is done to thrill your audi­ences and give depth to your mes­sages. This abil­ity to cre­ate tail­or-made exper­i­ences is one of CID’s prom­ises. It responds to a strong con­vic­tion: every audi­ence is unique, and every event deserves to be excep­tion­al. By com­bin­ing tech­nic­al expert­ise, innov­a­tion and act­ive listen­ing, the Deau­ville site becomes the stage for mem­or­able exper­i­ences, cap­able of cre­at­ing links, gen­er­at­ing sup­port and rein­for­cing your organ­isa­tion’s image over the long term.

Let’s talk about your needs

Safety: an absolute priority, a criterion of trust

In the age of all-digit­al tech­no­logy and glob­al gath­er­ings, secur­ity is much more than a tech­nic­al issue: it’s a mor­al com­mit­ment, a cri­terion of trust. In 2025, as pro­fes­sion­al events become increas­ingly com­plex and hybrid, data pro­tec­tion, phys­ic­al and health secur­ity, and risk man­age­ment are becom­ing essen­tial pil­lars of any suc­cess­ful event.
At the Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville, this com­mit­ment is noth­ing new. It is anchored in the site’s DNA, at the heart of every pro­cess. Behind every event is much more than a simple meet­ing — there are issues of image, repu­ta­tion, com­mit­ment, and some­times even stra­tegic confidentiality.

Wheth­er it’s a ques­tion of cyber­se­cur­ity, access secur­ity, health pro­tec­tion or flow man­age­ment, noth­ing is left to chance. Rig­or­ous con­trol sys­tems, video pro­tec­tion solu­tions, intel­li­gent traffic plans, ded­ic­ated secur­ity officers on the exhib­i­tion floor… The CID is put­ting in place every means to ensure the safety of vis­it­ors: dis­creet and effect­ive actions to guar­an­tee total peace of mind for organisers.

A fore­run­ner since 2017, the Deau­ville con­ven­tion centre was the first site in Nor­mandy to be awar­ded the ‘sécuri-site’ label. Today, the CID, the City of Deau­ville and the rep­res­ent­at­ives of the police force con­tin­ue to work towards secur­ity and risk pre­ven­tion. At the begin­ning of 2025, the ‘sécuri-site’ agree­ment was renewed, guar­an­tee­ing coordin­a­tion of all those involved in the secur­ity of the site and a per­fect know­ledge of the premises to adapt the responses in case of intervention.

This means con­stant vigil­ance by a com­mit­ted team trained in pre­ven­tion, emer­gency man­age­ment and par­ti­cipant rela­tions. This cul­ture of safety con­firms the CID’s role as a lead­er in Nor­mandy and enhances its appeal to event organ­isers, par­ti­cipants and vis­it­ors. Organ­ising an event at the CID means bene­fit­ing from a 360° secure envir­on­ment, designed to allow you to con­cen­trate fully on your con­tent, your guests, your highlights…

Modular spaces: your vision comes to life

To bring out the full dynam­ic of an event, you need more than just a ven­ue: you need a space that can adapt to every need. That’s exactly how the Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville was designed.

With 18,000 m² of ultra-flex­ible space, this archi­tec­tur­al gem on the Nor­mandy coast can be trans­formed to suit your pro­jects, wheth­er large or small, con­ven­tion­al or dar­ing. Are you dream­ing of a private sem­in­ar for around sixty people? A sci­entif­ic con­fer­ence for over 1,500 par­ti­cipants? A trade fair or a spec­tac­u­lar gala even­ing? Here, any­thing is possible.

The com­fort­able and well-equipped aud­it­or­i­ums, the eleg­ant and ver­sat­ile halls, the cosy meet­ing rooms, the sea­side recep­tion areas such as Les Ter­rasses… every space in the build­ing has been designed to allow for ease of move­ment and com­fort for participants.

It’s no coin­cid­ence that so many organ­isa­tions, com­pan­ies, uni­ver­sit­ies, event agen­cies and asso­ci­ations trust the Deau­ville Con­ven­tion Centre to bring their events to life. The CID com­bines logist­ic­al flex­ib­il­ity, refined aes­thet­ics and oper­a­tion­al excel­lence, at the heart of an icon­ic des­tin­a­tion and just two hours from Paris.
