CANNES CONVENTIONS

Cannes, 320 days of occupancy a year

The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès hosts around 70 international trade shows a year across nearly 35,000 usable m², including more than 13,000 m² of main exhibition hall, with auditoriums from 147 to 2,309 seats. Around it, the Old Port, Port Canto and the Croisette add their own events — from the Yachting Festival to the Régates Royales.

For a company exhibiting or attending, most of the relationship value is not created on the stand: it is created in the evening. This section brings together, show by show, what you need to prepare that part — confirmed and unconfirmed dates, which Palais halls are used, attendance, visitor profile and seniority, opening hours, badge prices, each show's own evening culture, the busy districts, and realistic booking lead times.

And if you are looking for a venue: Loka Bar is at 88 rue Meynadier, an eight-minute walk from the Palais and three from the Old Port. Full or partial buy-out for up to 70 guests, South American cooking, cocktail workshops, DJ sets, service until 12:30 AM, seven days a week.

How to read this calendar

Dates marked “confirmed” come from the organisers' official sites or from the Palais des Festivals. Those flagged “to be confirmed” come from third-party listings or previous editions: check them before any contractual commitment. Attendance figures are those communicated by the organisers for the latest known edition. Last updated: July 2026.
