Centre de Congrès Impérial

The Centre de Congrès Impérial — Grand Annecy is a conference venue set within a Belle Époque building constructed in 1913, directly on the shores of Lake Annecy in the heart of the French Alps. It combines heritage architecture with modern conference facilities, and its meeting rooms and terraces look out over the lake and the surrounding mountains.

An on-site restaurant, Bleu Impérial, can serve up to 400 guests, which keeps the catering logistics simple. Annecy, often called the Venice of the Alps, offers a setting that balances productive work sessions with the kind of surroundings people remember.

The venue sits minutes from the historic old town, so participants can walk between sessions, hotels and dinner. The quiet setting suits focused scientific exchange as well as the conversations that happen between sessions.
