    France — Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Lyon is France's second-largest metropolitan area and one of Europe's leading life-science clusters, home to the Lyonbiopôle competitiveness cluster, the Hospices Civils de Lyon university hospitals and a dense network of medical device, ventilation and pharmaceutical employers serving French and Francophone intensive-care markets.

    Why it matters

    Attending AER Congress on 2026-11-19 to 2026-11-20 in Lyon lets buyers and specifiers benchmark suppliers, see live demonstrations, and compress months of vendor meetings into one focused trade visit — worthwhile when your category roadmap aligns with the official exhibitor profile.

    Weather

    November in Lyon is cool and damp, with daytime highs near 11 °C (50–54 °F) dropping to 4–5 °C (39–41 °F) overnight during the 19–20 November 2026 congress. Expect 75–95 mm of rain across 11–13 wet days and limited sunshine, so a water-resistant coat, warm mid-layer and umbrella are essential for the short walk between the Cité Internationale hotels and the Centre de Congrès. Comfortable shoes and smart-casual business dress suit two full days of sessions, and hotel-level indoor corridors mean you can leave a heavier coat at your hotel.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    France has full 4G and 5G coverage across Lyon and the Cité Internationale from Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile. EU/EEA SIM holders roam at domestic rates under EU rules; visitors from outside the EU can buy an Orange or SFR prepaid SIM with a passport (data bundles typically EUR 10–20) or install an eSIM from Orange, Airalo or Holafly before departure. Free Wi-Fi is available in the Centre de Congrès session areas and in the Cité Internationale hotels; keep a mobile hotspot or local data plan for the exhibition halls.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Greeting and language

    Open every exchange with a clear 'Bonjour' before switching to English or French — omitting it is read as abrupt. French is the working language of the congress, with sessions on dyspnoea, sedation, dysphagia, prone positioning and biological risk control delivered in French; request bilingual materials or ask speakers in English between sessions.

    Dining and tipping

    Service is included by law in French restaurant bills ('service compris'); rounding up or leaving 5–10% is appreciated but not expected. Lunch runs from about 12:00 to 14:00 and dinner from 19:30, so book restaurants near Bellecour or along the Quai Charles de Gaulle if you plan a working dinner.

    Business dress and punctuality

    Smart business casual is standard for a medical congress — jacket, shirt and no tie for men, equivalent smart dress for women. Sessions start on time, handshakes are expected on introduction, and business cards are exchanged at the start of a conversation rather than the end.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: LYS

    Book into Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS) for the shortest transfer to the Cité Internationale; European fares are usually lowest six to ten weeks before departure, and Tuesday-to-Thursday flights arriving on 17–18 November put you in place ahead of the 19 November opening. Long-haul travellers can fly into Paris Charles de Gaulle or Geneva (GVA) and continue by TGV to Lyon Part-Dieu in about two hours, then bus C1 or taxi to the venue. If you combine air and rail tickets, confirm baggage allowances and the transfer time between the airport terminal and the TGV station.

    Visa

    EU/EEA citizens can usually enter freely. Other nationals may need a Schengen visa (Short-stay Schengen business visa (Type C)) for short business visits. Confirm requirements on the official migration site.

    Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).

    Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

    Apply at the French consulate or the visa centre covering your place of residence and carry the invitation letter, hotel booking, travel insurance and proof of funds. EU/EEA and Swiss nationals travel freely and need only a valid national ID card or passport.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS): 30–40 min off-peak; Geneva Airport (GVA): 1 h 45 min by car; Grenoble Alpes-Isère Airport (GNB): 1 h 10 min; Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG): 2 h by direct TGV to Lyon Part-Dieu (4 h 20 min by road). Allow road or rail time to Centre de Congrès de la Cité Internationale de Lyon; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Centre de Congrès de la Cité Internationale de Lyon: Cité Internationale (adjoining the venue): Lyon Marriott Hotel Cité Internationale; Cité Internationale (3–5 min walk): Crowne Plaza Lyon - Cité Internationale; Cité Internationale (5–8 min walk): Hôtel des Congrès by Arteloge.

    Ride-hail: Uber, Bolt and FREENOW all operate in Lyon, with pickup and drop-off on Quai Charles de Gaulle directly outside the Centre de Congrès. Short trips within the Cité Internationale typically cost EUR 8–15, while a cross-city journey from Bellecour, Vieux Lyon or Part-Dieu runs EUR 15–25. Licensed taxis also queue at Lyon Part-Dieu station and at ranks along the Presqu'île, which is the faster option on rain-affected November evenings.

    Public transit: TCL operates Lyon's metro (lines A, B, C and D), trams T1–T7 and a dense bus network; the congress centre is served directly by buses C1, C4 and C5 at the Cité Internationale stop on Quai Charles de Gaulle. A single journey costs EUR 2.00 (about EUR 2.50 when bought on board), a day pass is EUR 6.00 and a 3-day pass around EUR 16.00, loaded onto a TCL card or the TCL e-ticket app. Metro A to Charpennes–Charles Hernu plus bus C1 from Part-Dieu or C4 from Jean Macé are the standard routes from central Lyon; journeys take 20–30 minutes in normal traffic.

    Parking: Three car parks serve the Cité Internationale, including the LPA Cité Internationale P2 with around 1,700 spaces directly beneath the congress centre. Expect hourly rates from about EUR 2.50 and a 24-hour rate in the EUR 15–20 band; reserve online during the congress dates as the complex fills with delegates. Vehicle access is from the Boulevard Périphérique Nord, reached via the A6, A42, A43 and A46 motorways, about 25 minutes from central Lyon.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: November 2026

    Temperature: Daytime highs near 11 °C (50–54 °F) and overnight lows of 4–5 °C (39–41 °F) for the 19–20 November 2026 congress; Lyon has recorded November extremes from about -4 °C to 20 °C, so pack a warm, water-resistant layer and an umbrella rather than relying on mild weather.

    Seasonality: November is one of Lyon's wetter months, with about 80-107 mm of rainfall spread over roughly 12-14 rainy days and limited sunshine, typically around six hours on clearer days.

    Packing: Pack warm, water-resistant layers: a coat, sweater, scarf and an umbrella or rain jacket for damp, changeable days. Comfortable shoes suit the short walk between Cité Internationale hotels and the congress centre, and smart-casual dress is typical for the conference.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Thursday 20 November 2026 (Day 2)

    Day 2 carries the densest clinical programme of the congress, with dyspnoea assessment from 08:30, paramedical sedation management, dysphagia and prone positioning closing the morning around 12:15. A single-day visit on 20 November therefore captures the broadest spread of intensive-care and nursing topics, leaving Day 1 for the opening sessions, early rehabilitation and biological risk control if you can attend both days.

    1

    Check passport validity and Schengen visa need — Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months and apply early for a France short-stay visa if you are a non-EU/EEA national.

    3

    5

    8

    Plan local transport — Note TCL bus routes to the Cité Internationale stop and the three on-site car parks if you plan to drive.

    9

    Arrange money and insurance — Prepare euros and travel insurance, and consider a TCL day pass or contactless payment for buses and metro.

    10

    Confirm visa appointment and documents — If a visa is required, complete the France-Visas application and book your appointment at least a month ahead.

    11

    Pack for Lyon in November — Expect 5 to 12 C with rain, so bring warm layers, a coat and an umbrella for the 19-20 November 2026 dates.

    12
