Nursing Homes Summit : Towards a New Deal!
The Nursing Homes Summit will take place during the next edition of the International SilverEco & Ageing Well International Festival, on September 14 and 15, 2026 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
A congress to imagine the future of nursing homes

The Nursing Homes Summit is a significant meeting of professionals to explore the future of retirement homes and, more broadly, collective housing for the elderly, shared living, and shared housing.
It’s a unique opportunity to discover the latest innovations in the sector and the best international practices in collective housing for older people: Explore successful models worldwide, understand the impact of culture and traditions on the approach to aging and retirement homes internationally.

Action must be taken now: anticipating capacity needs, integrating technological and medical innovation, training and supporting professionals and caregivers, and rethinking residential models to combine quality of life, safety and well-being.
The Nursing Homes Summit places this urgency at the heart of its discussions, calling on all sector stakeholders to collectively design the nursing homes and collective housing solutions of tomorrow — before demographic pressure reaches a critical point.
The congress will also give a voice to professional caregivers who work in nursing homes. Their testimonies will provide an intimate and enlightening perspective on the daily realities of the sector.
