MICE STRENGTHS

​

In Hauts de France, event and congress professionals have a sense of hospitality and sharing and offer you seminars, conventions,  incentives  who create  connection and emotion. 

A breathtaking coastline (Le Touquet, Paris Plage, the Opal Coast, Dunkirk and the Dunes of Flanders, the Baie de Somme), natural spaces to recharge your batteries and find yourself (Chantilly & its forest,  the Marais de l'Audomarois, the Hortillonnages of Amiens, the Thiérache and the Portes de la Champagne…), a cultural heritage  and cities to live intensely (Arras and Artois, Lille, Valenciennes, Amiens…)…

Our "Made in Hauts de France" events integrate environmental respect, short circuit, sharing and solidarity, bringing you what digital cannot replace. We make you the promise of an event, a congress, which makes sense. 

As a result, committed professionals are waiting for you and offer you tailor-made solutions.
