A traveling congress in a French congress host city

The SFCR changes city from year to year. The 2026 edition was held in Marseille, at the Palais du Pharo; the location for 2027 is to be confirmed. The stand must therefore adapt to various exhibition spaces, often integrated into a convention center.

Our workshops and our teams in Lyon and Paris deliver all over France, and prepare for the constraints specific to each site: access, floor load capacities, delivery schedules.

Surgery and medical device stands: our approach

At a surgery congress, the exhibitor must present precise instrumentation to demanding specialists. The stand provides demonstration stations, clean showcases, and a quiet space for dialogue, in line with the standards of the medical profession. Consult our healthcare and pharma stands page and our custom-made stands. We respect the exhibitors' charter and regulations on medical devices.
