Paris, France
Pan Europe Pacific Conference
Thursday 16 April - Thursday 23 April 2026
Paris has remained a staple in the CPE conference calendar for the past 18 years, with its deep-rooted academic tradition, offers a rich environment for those interested in law, medicine, and dentistry, providing a plethora of opportunities for learning, research, and professional development, especially notable in April.
In the realm of law, Paris is distinguished by its long history of legal scholarship and practice. The city is home to some of the world's oldest and most respected law schools, such as Université Paris II Panthéon-Assas, known for its excellence in legal education. The medical and healthcare scene in Paris is equally vibrant. The city is a hub for medical research and education, with institutions like Université de Paris and its affiliated hospitals, and the Institut Pasteur, a leading center for biomedical research. Dentistry in Paris also holds a prestigious position. Dental schools such as the UFR d'Odontologie at Université de Paris provide advanced education and research opportunities in various aspects of dental science. Furthermore, Paris's rich medical history can be explored in various medical museums, such as the Musée d'Histoire de la Médecine, which houses one of the oldest collections of medical instruments and artifacts in Europe. Visits to these museums offer a unique perspective on the evolution of medicine, law, and dentistry.
Paris is a nexus of intellectual and professional activity for those in the fields of law, medicine, and dentistry. The city's prestigious institutions, combined with its schedule of conferences, symposia, and exhibitions, make it an ideal destination for professionals, academics, and students seeking to enrich their knowledge and engage with leading experts in these fields.
Visiting Paris in April is a delightful experience, a time when the city truly starts to bloom after the cold winter months. The weather is pleasantly mild, making it perfect for exploring the city's iconic sights and outdoor attractions. The streets of Paris in April are lined with trees blossoming with pink and white flowers, adding a touch of magic to the already enchanting cityscape. The gardens and parks, such as the Luxembourg Gardens and Tuileries Garden, are in full bloom, filled with colorful flowers and lush greenery, creating a picturesque setting for a leisurely stroll or a picnic.
One of the highlights of April in Paris is the opportunity to see the city's famous landmarks in the soft, spring light. The Eiffel Tower, standing tall against the blue sky, offers an even more stunning view during this season. The banks of the Seine River become lively with locals and tourists alike, enjoying boat cruises or simply meandering along the pathways.
Inbetween the Conference Sessions, it is also a great time for cultural exploration in Paris. The city's museums and galleries, like the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, are less crowded than in the peak summer months. This allows for a more relaxed experience, taking in the art and history at your own pace. In the evenings, the streets of neighborhoods like Montmartre and Le Marais come alive with vibrant nightlife. Jazz clubs, cozy wine bars, and trendy restaurants offer a perfect setting to experience the city's lively atmosphere.
Overall, Paris in April is a blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and vibrant city life, making it an ideal time to visit and immerse oneself in the charm of the French capital.
Conference Registration
The Egypt Oceania River Conference takes you to the heart of this ancient land, on a journey along the legendary Nile river that has been the centre of life in Egypt since its history began over six millennia ago. This is where some of the earliest developments in writing, agriculture, urbanisation and centralised government can be traced back to, and an undoubtedly spectacular and informative backdrop to our medical, legal and dental conferences.
Legal Accreditation & Agenda
This conferences will take place over the duration of a full week with 4 academic days, each with a minimum of 4 hours of academic content each day (making a minimum total of 16 hours for the entire conference). The academic agenda is released on the first day of the conference, in order to provide the diversity and local input that are an important aspect of our conferences. Often local presenters are unable to commit to a specific session time months in advance. We believe (and indeed our feedback reflects) that the local presenters and field trips add immeasurable value to the academic experience and as such we want to preserve our ability to include them. After each conference you will be provided with a Certificate of Attendance and the academic agenda for your records.
