parking
Estimated costApprox. EUR 20-30 per 24 hours for hotel and venue parking; confirm the current rate with the hotel
Best forNovotel Paris la Defense Esplanade on-site car park
La Défense traffic and parking are tight on weekday mornings; pre-book a space if you plan to drive to the conference.
Weather
Late November in Paris is early winter: expect grey, short days with daytime highs typically 8-11 C and overnight lows around 3-6 C, and rain on roughly one day in two. Daylight fades before 17:00, so plan the walk between the RER or metro station and the Novotel Paris la Defense Esplanade with a warm coat, layers and an umbrella. La Défense is exposed and windy between the towers - a waterproof shell is more useful than a fragile umbrella on the esplanade.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
EU/EEA SIM cards roam in France at no extra cost under EU rules; travellers from outside the EU can buy a French prepaid SIM or eSIM from the main carriers at CDG, ORY or city shops, usually with passport registration. 4G and 5G coverage is strong across Paris and La Défense. Ask the organiser or the Novotel Paris la Defense Esplanade about complimentary Wi-Fi in the session rooms and exhibitor area before relying on it for live demos.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Registration and badge collection
Conference registration is handled by the organiser at the venue; bring your registration confirmation and a photo ID. Collect your badge on the first morning, since session rooms and the exhibition area are badge-controlled.
Language in sessions
Sessions are delivered in English for the international paediatric and neonatal audience, while local French attendees and hospital staff may switch to French in corridor conversations - a short greeting in French is appreciated.
Business etiquette and cards
Handshakes are standard in French clinical and industry settings; exchange business cards at the start of a meeting and follow up within a week. Punctuality matters for scheduled KOL and exhibitor appointments.
Payments and tipping
Cards are accepted almost everywhere in Paris, but keep a little cash for small cafes. Service is included by law in restaurant bills, so a small extra euro or two for good service is optional rather than expected.
The La Défense district
La Défense is a business district rather than a historic quarter: chain restaurants, a shopping centre and the Grande Arche sit alongside the conference hotels, and central Paris sightseeing requires a 20-30 minute metro or RER ride.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: CDG
For the 23 November 2026 arrival, Google Flights captures non-stop options from New York JFK at about 7 hr 5 min to 7 hr 30 min, and London LHR at about 1 hr 55 min with Air France; Eurostar from London St Pancras is a city-centre alternative. The capture notes London fares are unlikely to fall below about EUR 121 on this route and date, that Dubai fares were about EUR 139 cheaper than usual at the time of search, and that for Singapore the cheapest window ran until late October 2026. Book the transatlantic leg 2-5 months ahead, and compare ORY only if fares or schedules from your origin are materially better.
Visa
Non-EU attendees typically need a Schengen short-stay visa to attend this Paris conference; holders of a valid passport from an EU/EEA member state, and travellers from visa-exempt nationalities, do not. Confirm your nationality's category on the French government's official portal before booking.
Estimated cost: Approx. EUR 90 adult Schengen short-stay visa fee (children 6-11 approx. EUR 45) - confirm current amount with the French consulate before applying
Processing: Schengen short-stay visas are typically decided within about 15 calendar days of an application, and applicants may lodge their file up to 6 months ahead and at the latest 15 days before travel; in busy periods the decision can take up to 45 days - confirm the current timeline on the official French portal.
Apply at the French embassy or consulate in your country of residence; carriers of a Schengen visa must be applied for before travel and a multiple-entry visa usually helps if you plan onward travel within the Schengen area. Ask the conference organiser for an invitation letter to support the application, and keep a printed copy of your registration and hotel booking in hand at the border.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG): 45-60 min by road; Paris Orly (ORY): 35-55 min by road; Paris Beauvais (BVA): 75-90 min by road. Allow road or rail time to Novotel Paris la Defense Esplanade; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Novotel Paris la Defense Esplanade: Central Paris: Grand Hôtel de Paris; Porte d'Ivry, south-east Paris: Comfort Hotel Paris Porte d'Ivry; Suresnes, western Paris suburbs: Hôtel Mercure Paris Suresnes Longchamp.
Ride-hail: Uber, Bolt, FreeNow and Marcel operate across Paris and La Défense, with app-based pickup and fixed quotes before you confirm. CDG and ORY have signed pickup zones outside the terminals - follow the app instructions rather than accepting approaches from drivers inside the building. Expect roughly EUR 60-75 from CDG to La Défense and EUR 50-70 from ORY in normal traffic, with surge pricing during rush hour and rain.
Public transit: La Défense station is one of the best-connected nodes in the Paris region: metro Line 1, RER A, Transilien lines L and U, and tram T2 all stop there, and the Novotel Paris la Defense Esplanade is a short walk across the esplanade. From CDG, RER B connects to Châtelet-Les Halles or Gare du Nord for metro Line 1 or RER A; from ORY, Orlyval plus RER B reaches the same interchanges. Single metro or RER trips inside Paris cost about EUR 2.50, and a Navigo Easy card or contactless bank card is accepted at the gates. Allow extra time on weekday mornings when RER A is crowded.
Parking: The Novotel Paris la Defense Esplanade has on-site parking and is the simplest option if you drive to sessions; confirm the daily rate and whether spaces can be pre-booked with the hotel. The surrounding La Défense car parks fill quickly on weekday mornings, so arriving before 08:30 is advisable. Public transport is generally the better choice during the conference because of district traffic and limited space.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026 - event days 23-24 November
