FOOD Risk is pleased to announce that its 2026 edition will be held in an exceptional venue: the brand-new h2 Convention Center, in the heart of the city of Nîmes.
Opening at the end of 2025, h2 represents a new generation of event venues, combining innovation, accessibility, sustainability, and culture in an iconic neighborhood. Located opposite the Musée de la Romanité and a few steps from the famous Arènes, this modern center offers an inspiring environment, ideal for welcoming the FOOD Risk community.
A venue designed for exchange and innovation
With its bold architecture, bright and modular spaces, 18 meeting rooms, and 672-seat auditorium, h2 is the perfect setting to bring together researchers, experts, professionals, and stakeholders in the agri-food sector to discuss food risk issues.
The h2 Congress Center, certified “Bâtiment Durable Occitanie” (Occitanie Sustainable Building) and BREEAM, also commits FOOD Risk to a responsible approach, in line with the values promoted by the event.
A strategic location in the heart of the South
