Congrès Handi 4 Colmar 2026: a professional congress on disability and autonomy

Congrès Handi 4 is a French professional congress and trade exhibition focused on facilities and services that host and support people with disabilities as well as dependent elderly people. The 2026 Colmar edition gathers teams from IME, ITEP, FAM and MAS institutions along with professionals who care for children and adults with disabilities. The programme mixes keynote sessions, practical workshops and an exhibition floor where suppliers showcase equipment, medical technology, care solutions and services that foster independence. This year's theme explores autonomy as a bet on human potential rather than a performance metric. The audience is strictly professional: facility directors, specialised educators, healthcare staff and procurement managers from the social and medico-social sector. Admission is aimed at trade visitors, not the general public. Colmar, in the heart of Alsace, makes it easy to combine the congress with a one or two night stay. The venue, Parc des Expositions de Colmar, sits on Avenue de la Foire aux Vins, well connected to the historic centre by road and rail.
