About Cannes and Antibes

The French Riviera, or Côte d’Azur as it is known in French, is the sun-drenched Mediterranean coastline of southeastern France

Cannes, located on the beautiful French Riviera, is synonymous with glamour and international allure. It will host the majority of conference sessions during the day programme (see our venue section and programme), with evening events held in Sophia Antipolis and Antibes.

Famous worldwide for its prestigious film festival, red carpets, and luxury hotels, the city attracts celebrities, filmmakers, and visitors from all corners of the globe. Beyond the glitz, Cannes boasts a vibrant cultural scene and charming coastal views, making it not only a destination for festivals and business events but also a city where visitors can relax, explore, and be inspired.

Nestled among the iconic Riviera towns of Antibes, Nice, and the historic village of Grasse, delegates will be able to explore different locations and enjoy the appeal of the Mediterranean during the overall programme, which also offers optional pre- and post-conference tours.

Sophia Antipolis Technology Park is located about 25 kilometers from Cannes, on the French Riviera, between Nice and Antibes. Immersed in the heart of the Valbonne area, it is surrounded by pine forests and a landscape that blends nature and innovation.
