Trustech is the professional event dedicated to digital trust technologies. It has been in existence for more than 30 years and moved to Cannes in 2016. It hosts more than 80% participants from abroad, i.e. 120 different nationalities. It is at the same time a congress (200 international speakers), a trade fair (300 exhibiting companies) and a networking event (in total, more than 11,000 professionals meet there). In 2017, Trustech received support from the PACA Region as part of the ACE "Attract Congresses & Events" programme. This support enabled us to support our development, in a growth business sector for the regional area.

On a Fam Trip, I encountered Provence Côte d’Azur Events - The Regional Congress Bureau. We were able to discuss and visit various congress venues. Thanks to their advice, I therefore decided to book the Parc Chanot Marseille for the Euro-Pharmat Congress which will be held on 8-9-10 October 2019

The 2017 edition of the ITER Business Forum brought together from 28 to 30 March 2017 at the Palais des Papes in Avignon more than 1000 representatives from 433 companies from 25 countries, including more than 50% from abroad. Congress-goers were able, over three days, to meet, discuss and make contacts while informing themselves about the progress of the ITER programme and upcoming calls for tender. This sixth edition of the ITER Business Forum, which is today the international benchmark event on the ITER programme, was organised by the ITER France Agency, with the support of the ITER International Organisation and its partners, the Chinese, Korean, Indian, Japanese, American and Russian domestic agencies. Financial support from Région Sud was decisive for the success of the event, alongside other local partners.

Every year, I look for a venue which can host our annual convention bringing together around 400 people. During a lunch in Paris organised by PCE, I was able to find out about all the potential of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. Access, availability, friendliness, all the criteria came together. My participation in the Fam Trip organised in Nice last September confirmed this choice and we met in Aix‑en‑Provence in June 2017… Option has been placed for the next edition in another Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur destination ... Thank you to all stakeholders for your professionalism, your good humour and the sun is not just in the sky, but also in your kindness
