    • What is a Congress?

      The term congress belongs to the MICE (Meetings, Incentive, Conferences and Exhibitions) or Events sector, in other words, it is a particular format of professional event. Unlike a convention, a seminar or a day of study gathering only the internal public of a company, a congress is a "solemn meeting" favoring the exchanges in the professional group of a sector, around a common theme.
      Professional congresses are generally organized by professional associations, public decision-makers (public authorities, lobbyists), learned societies, or international intergovernmental organizations... Scientific congresses are organized at the initiative of universities, research centers...

    • Share experiences and knowledge during a congress in Normandy

      A professional congress is a place of exchange and debate. It has several objectives of visibility and cohesion:

      • to exchange ideas
      • to discuss a subject
      • to make the results known
      • to network

      A professional congress is held over several days and brings together many delegates for a series of events. It is therefore necessary to find a room with a large capacity, or even several conference spaces:

      • Spaces for conferences and workshops such as meeting rooms or auditoriums;
      • Exhibition areas to allow exhibitors to showcase new products to the entire professional sector;
      • Incentive and activity areas to strengthen the links between the guests of the congress;
      • Reception rooms to organize dinners and gala evenings in a musical and festive atmosphere..;

      The congress is permanent: the event organizer invites you to an annual congress, organized at the same periods from one year to the next.

    • The best places to organize a congress

      Convention centers are the ideal places for congresses, they have :

      • An ideal geographical location in large cities: they are perfectly served and easily accessible;
      • The hotel capacity to accommodate all the participants;
      • Large capacity seminar and conference rooms to host large-scale events;
      • Modular spaces fulfilling all desired functions: meeting rooms, exhibition halls, auditoriums, reception rooms for gala evenings..;
