The dependent elderly care sector is undergoing a major transformation. Accelerated demographic aging, reform of nursing home (EHPAD) financing, team recruitment and retention challenges, the rise of assistive technologies: senior care professionals are facing challenges of rare complexity.

In this context, the Age3 congresses represent much more than a traditional trade show: they are spaces for recharging, updating knowledge, and networking, tailor-made for professionals in the field.

The Age3 congress in Nantes will be held on June 25, 2026, at ExpoNantes (Parc des Expositions de la Beaujoire). Mdose will be present at the trade show and invites you to come and meet us at our stand.

What is the Age3 congress?

Organized for over fifteen years by a steering committee composed of professionals from the gerontological sector, the Age3 congress is the benchmark professional event for EHPADs and facilities caring for dependent elderly people in France.

The format is designed to maximize the value provided to professionals in a single day: in-depth conferences, thematic master classes, interactive business workshops, and an exhibition area bringing together about forty companies covering all senior care sectors. All in a deliberately friendly atmosphere (morning coffee reception, free lunch buffet, cocktail break at the end of the day).

The 2026 Theme: "For a happy old age: overcoming preconceived ideas"

Each year, the Age3 congress is structured around a national theme that provides a common thread. The goal for 2026 is to deconstruct the negative representations and clichés attached to the senior care sector, which weigh on both professionals and families. "Old people cost a lot." "In facilities, they are all abusive." "Anyway, they all have Alzheimer's."

These shortcuts, conveyed in the media, mask the reality of a committed, innovative, and humane sector. For EHPAD professionals, this theme is an invitation to highlight their daily work, share positive practices, and reclaim the narrative on what it truly means to age well and provide good care.

The day's program: conferences, master classes, and workshops

The opening plenary conference

For the 2026 edition, the opening conference will focus on the theme "New professional practices, new models: for whom? for what?", bringing together speakers from facilities, research, and institutions. An essential moment to gain perspective.

Master classes

These are in-depth sessions on specific topics. Among the themes covered: the fight against malnutrition in EHPADs, the integration of assistive technologies, palliative care, or the skills of tomorrow. These sessions offer concrete feedback from the field.

Business workshops and the exhibition area

The business workshops allow for a deeper dive into operational issues: medication stock management, organization of the medication circuit, ergonomics of care stations, traceability. In parallel, the exhibition area brings together 45 companies (medical equipment, pharmacy, nutrition, management software, etc.), accessible all day for informal exchanges and product demonstrations.

Who is the Age3 congress for?   

The Age3 congress is strictly reserved for professionals and institutions in the gerontological sector. The diversity of profiles is one of the great strengths of this event, fostering mutual understanding of everyone's constraints:

As a true Jack-of-all-trades, I am interested in all subjects (computers, storage, sports, hygiene...). But as a great gourmet, I admit to dwelling more on subjects dedicated to the restaurant business and everything that surrounds it.
