Besides its core programme, the Congress also promises an engaging social programme in Paris.
The side events are a great way to get to know fellow international colleagues and discover some of the unusual spots of the City of Lights.
Connect with old friends and soon-to-be new colleagues and kick off the Congress together! Following the Opening Ceremony, delegates, partners and exhibitors are invited to attend the reception in the exhibition area to celebrate the launch of the event and enjoy a very convivial moment.
The City hall has been the headquarters of the municipality of Paris since 1357. It stands on the magnificent place de l’Hôtel-de-Ville and features ceremonial rooms lavishly decorated in the 1880s style.

On the occasion of ICM PARIS 2022, the entire Village of Montmartre will come to life exclusively for the congress participants! Montmartre is nowadays a district of Paris but it has kept its “village” identity along the years and world famous artists settled on the hill in the 20th century.
Restaurants, cafés, boutiques will welcome you and help you to discover Montmartre. Parisian-style entertainment will guide your steps all evening.
The Concert will be a pleasant moment to enjoy music and to relax after the intense working days. It will take place in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, built in the Middle Ages, at the far end of the Île de la Cité. Its many visitors come to admire its stained glass and rose windows, the towers, the steeple and the gargoyles.
The reputation of Notre-Dame is due not only to its splendid architecture and rich history, but also to its musical tradition. Its extraordinary acoustics make the place ideally suited for a concert. It also boasts the finest organ of France.
