Trade shows and events, the so-called world of business wasn’t made in a snap of the fingers! But it can advance and fructify in just a few days in Cannes, at the 70 international trade shows at le Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.

Players from various economic sectors, such as real estate, audiovisual, healthcare or tourism, meet there to improve their network, talk about new trends and, of course, sign contracts.

Some trade shows and conventions have become veritable benchmarks whose history is closely linked to that of le Palais.
