These regions off er huge opportunities and MCI France-South Regions is happy to take up all kinds of challenges: corporate events, organisation of congresses, exhibitions, fora and incentives.The main strength of MCI is summed up in the mo o of the group: "a global knowhow and a local expertise.”

The PACA and Languedoc-Roussillon regions are a ractive and dynamic, not only do commi ed and citizenship events take place but also leisure and artistic events. In March 2012, MCI took part in the organisation of the 6th World Water Forum entitled "Time For Solutions”. MCI was in charge of the exhibition (almost 20 000 sqm) and the sponsoring. This worldwide event, organised this year in Marseille, aims atfi nding solutions on water issues and it clusters chiefs of states, governments, princes and princesses, ministers, members of parliament, European commissioners, NGOs, mayors and private societies.
