New Luxury Trade Show / CANNES COLLECTION / 2-5 June 2016 / Cannes old port

CANNES COLLECTION 16

A first! Yachting, Private Aviation, Automobiles, Art, Property, Travel…everything in the world of luxury goods and services gathered together in one place. Designed to meet the new expectations of consumers in the luxury market, the CANNES COLLECTION exhibition will present the latest innovations of the leading companies and enable visitors to try out products in real conditions, as well as permitting them to purchase their dream item on the spot: “WANT IT NOW ? HAVE IT NOW!”

Sail a yacht out onto the Bay of Cannes and see how she performs on the open water; take an elegant automobile for a spin with an experienced driver at your side; fly over the old town of Cannes in a helicopter…and then take these magnificent items home with you so that you can enjoy them the entire summer! That is what the 1st CANNES COLLECTION this coming June 2nd to 5th is promising.

CANNES COLLECTION is being held at the Old Port of Cannes on a date that is strategic for the French Riviera: the day after the Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 motor race, and the start of the summer season for many property owners from countries around the world (Europe, Middle East, Russia, Asia) who come to stay in the south of France this time of year.

THE VENUE

The Old Port of Cannes, one of the most beautiful Mediterranean ports, will host CANNES COLLECTION thanks to the commitment and confidence of the City of Cannes and the Nice-Côte d’Azur Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The perfect showcase for hosting this new event, the strategic location of the port facilitates the display of prestige automobiles and motorcycles, helicopters, and private jets around an extraordinary selection of yachts up to 60 metres long. An advantage for these luxury sectors, which will be bringing their finest products to the Cannes port for 4 days.

THE ORGANISERS

CANNES COLLECTION was conceived by Bertrand Foäche et Eric de Saintdo.

Bertrand Foäche is the man behind a number of globally renowned exhibitions. In 1989, he co-founded Premiere Classe, now the international standard for fashion accessory exhibitions. He also founded Who’s Next, the essential Parisian show for new fashion trends and, in 2004, he launched Fame, showcasing the world’s top ready-to-wear brands. In 2011, Bertrand orchestrated a buyout of Salon du Prêt-à-Porter Féminin to bring all the biggest players in the Paris fashion show sector together.

Eric de Saintdo is an experienced organiser of major international exhibitions with extensive knowledge of the luxury sector, both locally and internationally. Eric lives in Cannes and was the organiser of the Cannes Boat and Yacht Show (Festival International de la Plaisance de Cannes) for 10 years. He has launched several shows for Reed Exhibitions. Formerly Chairman of Camper & Nicholsons, one of the major players in the world of luxury yacht brokerage, and Chairman of the management board of the Rodriguez Group, he is presently the CEO of Fair One. In addition to organising major international exhibitions, Eric de Saintdo is also a specialist in the yachting sector as well as luxury sectors like prestige automobiles and fine watches.
