VSE Annual Conference 2026: “The Frontliners: Functional, Funded, Future-Ready”

The VSE Annual Conference 2026 (VSEAC2026) will take place in Paris from 2 to 3 June 2026. We hope to welcome victim support community and affiliated professionals from around at the spectacular premises of Espace Saint-Martin.   
 
This year’s conference coincides with a significant milestone, as France Victimes celebrates its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of commitment to victims’ rights, service innovation, and system-level change. Building on this legacy, the VSEAC2026 places a strong emphasis on practical solutions, real-world systems, and collective problem-solving to strengthen victim support services in their day-to-day reality. 

VSEAC2026 is deliberately action-oriented. Across two days, the programme will explore governance, staffing, coordination, training, financing, service delivery, innovation, accessibility, and staff wellbeing, through concrete case studies, interactive formats, and honest discussions about challenges and progress.
