The Nursing Homes Summit is the congress dedicated to the nursing homes of tomorrow, to Senior Service Residences and to collective housing. A major event that will bring together all professionals of the sector, with one guiding principle: collectively envisioning the future of collective housing for the elderly.
The demographic wall is already here:
We must move beyond the Nursing Homes crisis and accelerate the development of Senior Living Residences models
The demographic transition is no longer a distant projection, it is a reality already reshaping nursing homes, senior living residences, and all forms of collective housing. Care organization, workforce attractiveness, adaptation of living environments, and quality of support: everything must be rethought, starting now.
In the coming years, the number of older adults losing autonomy will rise sharply, while expectations from residents, families, and professionals will evolve significantly. Facilities will need to do more, do better, and do things differently.
Faced with this demographic wall, waiting is no longer an option: those who transform their models today will build the solutions of tomorrow. The International SilverEco Ageing Well Festival 2026 and the Nursing Homes Summit stand out as the key strategic event to anticipate, experiment, share best practices, and turn this demographic urgency into a driver of innovation and performance for the entire sector.
Nursing Homes Summit : Towards a New Deal!
The Nursing Homes Summit will take place during the next edition of the International SilverEco & Ageing Well International Festival, on September 14 and 15, 2026 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
A congress to imagine the future of nursing homes
The Nursing Homes Summit is a significant meeting of professionals to explore the future of retirement homes and, more broadly, collective housing for the elderly, shared living, and shared housing.
It’s a unique opportunity to discover the latest innovations in the sector and the best international practices in collective housing for older people: Explore successful models worldwide, understand the impact of culture and traditions on the approach to aging and retirement homes internationally.
Preparing collective housing for the demographic tsunami
Collective accommodation for older adults is facing an unprecedented challenge. With the rapid ageing of the population, nursing homes, serviced residences and shared housing models risk becoming inadequate to meet growing demand. Action must be taken now: anticipating capacity needs, integrating technological and medical innovation, training and supporting professionals and caregivers, and rethinking residential models to combine quality of life, safety and well-being.
The Nursing Homes Summit places this urgency at the heart of its discussions, calling on all sector stakeholders to collectively design the nursing homes and collective housing solutions of tomorrow — before demographic pressure reaches a critical point.
The congress will also give a voice to professional caregivers who work in nursing homes. Their testimonies will provide an intimate and enlightening perspective on the daily realities of the sector.
The Nursing Homes Summit, it’s also a dedicated SilverEco & Ageing Well Award, an exhibition tour inside the festival, reserved networking sessions, inspiring workshops and experiences…
