Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur

Stand builder in Cannes

At 1 boulevard de la Croisette, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès hosts MIPIM, Cannes Lions, the TFWA World Exhibition, MIPCOM and the World AI Cannes Festival; the Cannes Yachting Festival sets up in the Vieux-Port and Port Pierre Canto. The venue sits in the middle of town and build-ups are short. That is why your stand arrives pre-assembled from our workshop, ready for our crews to put together on site.

Good to know

Exhibiting in Cannes: what to know.

01

Delivering to the Palais des Festivals

There are two places to unload at the Palais. The first is on level -2: 9 docks, reached through the coach station, with goods lifts up into the building. The second is on the forecourt, by the Artists’ entrance. During build-up and breakdown, trucks and vehicles park on the Parvis Macé (3,525 m²). Your project manager times the truck to the organiser’s slot so it can unload straight away.

02

A pre-assembled stand for short build-ups

The Palais is busy 340 days a year, one event straight after another. Build-up windows are short and every space is planned to the metre. So we fully pre-assemble and check your stand in our workshop, lighting included, and pack it in build-up order. On site, our crews assemble, wire and fine-tune. Power, rigging points, furniture and signage are sold by the Palais exhibitor services team; we order them for you, within the organiser’s deadlines.

03

A stand we built: Groupe Novi at TFWA

At the 2026 TFWA World Exhibition, Groupe Novi showed three beauty brands on 18 m²: Pür Eden, Les Senteurs Gourmandes and Jozz Beauty. We took it from 3D design to breakdown, with furniture in a light wood finish, a tiered LED-lit counter, lightboxes, printed visuals and transport to Cannes. We built it to be stored and rebuilt for the next edition. The client keeps the furniture and lightboxes; only the visuals change.

04

On the harbours and beaches

Every September, the Cannes Yachting Festival is held on the water, in the Vieux-Port and Port Pierre Canto. In June, during Cannes Lions, brands take over the Croisette beaches as well. For pontoons, pavilions and lounges, we pick materials that cope with sun, salt and wind, and structures that go up and come down within the harbour’s time frames.

05

Travel and accommodation in Cannes

Cannes station is a six-minute walk from the Palais. Nice Côte d’Azur airport is less than 30 km away, about 45 minutes by shuttle along the motorway, and Cannes-Mandelieu airport is 15 minutes away. Drivers take the A8 to exit 42 or 43; the Palais car park has 924 spaces beneath the building. Hotels, serviced apartments, guest rooms: there is something for every budget in town. Book as soon as you register for the show.

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

When are the Cannes shows you build stands for?

The World AI Cannes Festival in February, MIPIM in March, Cannes Lions in June, the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, the TFWA World Exhibition in late September or early October, MIPCOM in October, MAPIC in November and ILTM in late November or early December. You will find every date in our Cannes trade show calendar.

Can our stand be reused from one edition to the next?

Yes, as long as it is designed for it from the start, like Groupe Novi’s stand at TFWA. After breakdown it comes back to our workshop to be stored and maintained, then goes out again for the next edition with new visuals. The full project is on our Groupe Novi TFWA Cannes stand page.

Can you set up a space in the harbour during the Cannes Yachting Festival?

Yes: an outdoor pontoon, pavilion or lounge, designed for the realities of the Vieux-Port and Port Pierre Canto (wind, salt, vehicle access) and within the organiser’s rules.
