Dates and venue for Congrès SFETD 2026 in Lille
The congress runs from 18 to 20 November 2026 at Lille Grand Palais. The event site provides practical information on transport and accommodation and offers a promotional kit with logos and banners for partners.
Program highlights and call for sessions
A preliminary program has been published and the organizers maintain a call for communications for members. Proposed sessions can follow three formats listed on the congress site, under Pratiques Partagées, Focus and Entretien et Conversation. Submission deadline is Wednesday 1 April 2026. The congress is accredited as a Medtech event with reference EMT-26-10324.
Reference figures from 2025
The 2025 report lists 88 posters, over 2 000 participants, 120 abstracts submitted and 85 sessions. Those figures illustrate the type of audience to expect, with a strong presence of clinicians, researchers and pain unit teams.
Commercial outreach and meeting preparation for a clinical congress
Schedule meetings in advance using society channels and the promotional kit. Target pain units, anesthesiology departments and rehabilitation teams depending on your offering. For devices and therapeutic solutions prepare concise clinical documentation in digital form with references to studies or registries where applicable. If you submit a poster or communication prepare a short version in French and English to share with interested attendees.
Book meeting slots that avoid key sessions in the preliminary program. Consider arranging a brief demo in a partner area and have technical datasheets and regulatory documentation ready given the Medtech accreditation.
Practical items to check before attending
The early bird rate has ended and the site indicates a member rate available by joining the society. Check the promotional kit for materials to coordinate outreach and review the preliminary program to find sessions where your product or research fits best. Respect the 1 April 2026 deadline for submissions and tailor proposals to the chosen session format.
Final note
Pain management remains an area where clinical evidence drives purchasing and clinical adoption. If your aim is B2B prospecting focus messages on outcomes and make clinical documentation easy to access before meetings.
