Agence CCC

What Agence CCC does

Agence CCC (legal name: Congrès Colloques Conventions) is a French private company headquartered in Issy-les-Moulineaux, founded in 2003, that operates as an integrated medical event organizer and medical publisher. The company runs a proprietary general medicine congress cycle (Preuves & Pratiques) across French regional cities and provides turnkey event organization services to medical associations and pharmaceutical laboratories. Its service portfolio spans congress and meeting organization, physician mobilization, multimedia/video production, medical publishing, and ancillary services such as graphic design (PAO), registration management, IT/web development, mass emailing, and call-center operations — all performed in-house through dedicated departments.

The technology stack is conventional and proprietary: PHP-based event websites, MySQL databases, iOS and Android mobile applications connected via web services, a responsive mass-email platform optimized for deliverability across major French ISPs and webmail providers, and an integrated call-center platform directly connected to the company database. The company also publishes three medical journals: Revue Preuves & Pratiques (12,000+ regular readers), Revue Le Rhumatologue (under the French Rheumatology Federation), and Revue Le Cardiologue (official organ of the French Cardiologists Union). In 2015 the company acquired publishing assets from Regifax to expand its journal portfolio.

Revenue derives primarily from professional services fees for event organization (congresses, medical representative meetings) and ancillary services (mobilization, multimedia production, PAO, registration, IT, emailing, call center), supplemented by subscription/advertising/sponsorship revenue from medical publishing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; contract durations can extend across multiple years. Customer segments are medical associations, pharmaceutical laboratories, and individual physicians reached through the proprietary congress and journal channels. The company is privately held by management with no external funding rounds disclosed, operates primarily in France with occasional international coverage work for select clients, and is actively organizing events scheduled through 2027.

Broad incumbents

• MCI Group: Global association, congress, and events management firm (including acquired French medical event agency MCO Congrès). A broader incumbent operating at scale across healthcare, association, and corporate events; competes with Agence CCC for association and pharma-sponsored medical congress work.
• Publicis Health: Global healthcare communications network within Publicis Groupe covering advertising, PR, medical communications, and event services for pharma clients. Adjacent to Agence CCC's pharma-focused communications and event services, though broader in scope and global in reach.
• Wolters Kluwer Health: Global medical publishing and clinical decision support group with journals, books, and continuing medical education products. Comparable publishing arm to Agence CCC's Revue Preuves & Pratiques, Le Rhumatologue, and Le Cardiologue—though at vastly greater scale and reach.
• Springer Healthcare: Medical communications, publications, and education division within Springer Nature serving pharmaceutical and healthcare clients. Comparable to Agence CCC in combining medical publishing with pharma-funded education and congress services, but at international scale.
• Cegedim: French health technology and data services company with activities spanning physician CRM, medical event software, and healthcare data. Comparable to Agence CCC in its French health-sector customer base and adjacent event-management/data capabilities, though operating at substantially larger scale.
• Excerpta Medica (part of Adelphi Group): Medical communications agency providing publications, congress coverage, and scientific content for pharmaceutical clients. Direct functional overlap with Agence CCC's publishing, multimedia, and medical congress service lines; positioned as a larger, more international player.

Direct peers

• Overcoming: French medical and scientific event management agency that organizes congresses, symposia, and continuing medical education events. Direct peer of Agence CCC given similar focus on physician-targeted medical events in France with comparable B2B client base (medical associations, pharma).
• Europa Organisation / Europa Group: French-headquartered medical and healthcare congress organizer that runs European specialty congresses. Directly comparable to Agence CCC in operating model—organizing medical congresses on behalf of associations and industry sponsors with integrated logistics, scientific programming, and delegate mobilization services.
