Dear Chinese IASP members:For 2026, envision the IASP World Conference taking place in a technology park where you can brainstorm ideas in a cutting-edge conference venue during the day and unwind on a seaside terrace in the evening !A unique blend of innovation and leisure with the human factor in mind !Indeed it's not all work and no leisure ! When delegates are ready to unwind they are just a short stroll away from the beautiful beaches of Cannes, a vibrant cultural scene and world-class dining.Yes, Sophia Antipolis is the perfect destination! A place where you can transition from business to beachfront strolls, making it a truly exceptional destination for the IASP world conference 2026 !A place to innovate and relax, just make sure to pack your laptop and your swimsuit !
