Antipolis Convention centre marks the advent of a new generation of convention centres by proposing, beyond its original function, a set of services composed of a shopping gallery, restaurants and an underground parking lot.
Designed by architect Jean-Jacques Ory, this building with its elegant and harmonious lines, marked with boldness and modernity, shows a strong architectural landmark at the heart of the resort of Juan-les-Pins. Set at the peak of a 14,000 m² area shared with a set of shops and restaurants, the Convention centre offers a space for meetings and communication events of a new generation. The building, which is of high environmental quality, holds an auditorium on its rooftop, 12 committee rooms, a 1,600 m² modular hall for exhibitions and catering, as well as a lounge/ bar and a panoramic restaurant opening onto the vast terraces overlooking the bay of Juan-les-Pins.
The location of the site at 150m from the sea and in the heart of a green path between the Gould Pine Grove and the Sidney Bechet square offers very attractive surroundings to the participants. The areas dedicated to the events are located on the 2 upper stories with a view over the sea.
