The A3P International Congress brings together the pharmaceutical, bioproduction, and medical device industries in Biarritz. The next edition, the 37th, will take place from October 13 to 15, 2026, at the Bellevue Congress Centre.

A3P, the congress for sterile healthcare industries

Organized by the A3P association, the congress covers facility management for industrial quality, sterilization processes, and combination drug-device products. The 2026 edition announces 15 conferences, 20 workshops, and more than 120 suppliers in the exhibition, with the participation of the ANSM and notified bodies.

Biarritz: a congress venue far from our workshops

The Bellevue Congress Centre overlooks the ocean. Biarritz is served by a regional airport and a TGV train station, but is located several hundred kilometers from Lyon and Paris: transport, delivery access, and assembly logistics must be planned far in advance.

Pharma and bioproduction stands: our approach

The public looks for rigor and reliability: the stand must express technical expertise, with clear materials on offers, quiet meeting spaces, and a warm welcome. Consult our healthcare and pharma stand page and our custom-built stands.

Tips for exhibiting at A3P

• Scale for a congress: stands are compact, so every square meter must be put to use.

• Anticipate logistics: transport to Biarritz requires longer lead times.

• Provide areas for dialogue: workshops and conferences call for technical exchanges away from the noise.

• Display your credentials: certifications and references matter to a regulatory audience.
