The Congrès de Médecine et Santé au Travail (Congress of Occupational Medicine and Health) is the major gathering for French-speaking occupational health professionals. The 2026 edition took place in Lyon from June 2 to 5; the next one, announced for 2028 in Clermont-Ferrand, remains to be confirmed (dates and location).

Congrès de Médecine et Santé au Travail: the prevention community

The national congress, whose 38th edition was held in Lyon, was co-organized in 2026 by the French Society of Occupational Health (SFST) and the Lyon Society of Occupational Medicine and Health (SMSTL), under the patronage of the Ministry of Labor. It brings together occupational physicians, nurses, prevention specialists, ergonomists, and institutional actors around the prevention of professional risks.

It is accompanied by an exhibition of laboratories, prevention services, and equipment suppliers (attendance figures to be confirmed).

Clermont-Ferrand: an edition to follow

The congress changes city every two years. The next edition is announced in Clermont-Ferrand for 2028 (venue and dates to be confirmed). The city is accessible from Lyon in less than two hours by road, which facilitates transport from our workshops.

Assembly constraints will depend on the venue chosen: we will validate them as soon as the exhibitor guide is published.

Health and prevention stands: how we work

A medical congress stand must remain sober and rigorous: legible messaging, well-highlighted scientific materials, quiet exchange areas, and smooth traffic flow for visitors who are often in a hurry between two sessions. Consult our health and pharma stand page and our custom-made stands.
