ADF Congrès 2026 in Paris: where to stay

The Congrès de l'ADF, run by the French Dental Association (Association dentaire française), is regarded as a benchmark event for dentistry in Europe and takes place annually at the Palais des Congrès de Paris – Porte Maillot. The 2026 edition is expected to draw around 28,000 visitors, 400 speakers and 300 international exhibitors across a 12,830 sqm exhibition area on four levels. The scientific programme spans more than one hundred sessions on the latest developments in dental practice, including a dedicated International Programme track. The trade show side is the leading commercial showcase for the dental sector in France and a meeting point for manufacturers, distributors and clinics. The event runs from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 November 2026. The international exhibition opens Wednesday to Saturday with free admission for healthcare professionals, while the scientific programme from 24 to 28 November requires paid registration. Entry is restricted to the healthcare community (children under 16 are not admitted). Paris itself is a strong draw for attendees: museums, landmarks and French cuisine are all within easy reach of the venue. Booking a hotel near the Palais des Congrès de Paris keeps travel time short across the five congress days.
