From 2027, Cannes will host the Conference & Exhibition section of the Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC) at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. This development is part of the overall expansion of the AMWC platform across the Côte d’Azur.
Behind this decision lies a major player: Informa, the world leader in professional events, is strengthening its presence in Cannes and its confidence in the destination.
The group already organises two unmissable events on the international calendar there — the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June and the World AI Cannes Festival in February. The AMWC completes this trio by taking place in the spring, from 1 to 3 April, a time of year particularly eagerly anticipated by professionals and key economic players in the region.

“By hosting one of the world’s leading event organisers, Cannes is reaffirming a clear strategy: to attract major international flows of value and to firmly position the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès within the most dynamic and innovative sectors. Hosting this leading medical congress in the coming years demonstrates our ability to anticipate market trends and provide a service that meets the expectations of international decision-makers. This sends a strong signal not only of our appeal but also of our ambition: to make Cannes an essential venue for major, high-value-added professional events, particularly in the scientific and medical fields.”
“The arrival of the Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress in the coming years marks a new stage in the development of events organised with Informa. It demonstrates the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès’s ability to host and nurture world-class events over the long term. This congress also reinforces a fundamental trend: the rise of major international medical and scientific conferences held at the Palais. Our teams are fully committed to supporting this momentum and ensuring its long-term success.”
The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes will host the 25th edition of the AMWC, bringing together more than 15,000 international experts and practitioners. This event is fully in line with Cannes’ growing status as a leading destination for major medical and scientific conferences, and demonstrates the Palais’s increasing appeal to global leaders in the events industry.
This partnership strengthens the ties between Informa, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès and the City of Cannes, whilst providing the AMWC with an outstanding setting conducive to its development and international influence.
