Organizing an international medical event is no longer simply a matter of renting a large venue. Organizers face a twofold challenge: ensuring their event complies with regulations and creating a dynamic environment conducive to sustained focus for their delegates.

From may 7 to 9, may , the Palais du Grand Large became a hub for hypnosis and therapeutic communication by hosting the 10th Hypnosis & Pain Congress, organized by the Émergences Institute. Centered on the theme “Living a Sensory Experience,” this leading event brought together hundreds of healthcare professionals to push the boundaries of hypnoanalgesia and patient care.

A look back at the 10th edition of the International Hypnosis & Pain Conference, which showcases the solution provided by the Palais du Grand Large.

The Organizer's Challenge: Hypnosis as the Art of Connection and Presence

Bringing together medical professionals to discuss pain management protocols requires a high level of attention. In large metropolitan conference centers, background noise and the dispersion of participants dilute the scientific impact of the event.

For the organizing committee of Hypnosis & Pain, the brief was clear: they needed to create a space for listening and sharing where sensory experiences were at the heart of the event. A place capable of fostering meaningful dialogue and promoting physical grounding, far from the hustle and bustle and distractions.

MedTech Compliance: The Norm, Not the Exception

Beyond the sensory aspect of the event, medical conferences are now closely scrutinized by regulatory authorities. The choice of the Palais du Grand Large for the 2026 Hypnosis & Pain conference was also based on essential institutional guarantees.
Located away from the summer tourist crowds, Saint-Malo perfectly meets the selection criteria for venues compliant with the MedTech directive for hosting healthcare professionals.
