French Anti-Benefit Regulation for Event Planners

When planning events that involve healthcare professionals (HCPs) in France, it's crucial to understand the **French Anti-Benefit Regulation**. This law, designed to ensure transparency and fairness in healthcare, impacts how event planners can interact with and offer benefits to HCPs. Here’s what you need to know, simplified for event planning professionals. ## Navigating the French Anti-Benefit Regulation for Event Planners ### **What Is the French Anti-Benefit Regulation?** The **French Anti-Benefit Law**, introduced in **2020** and updated in **2023**, limits the types of benefits companies in the healthcare sector can offer to HCPs. The goal is to prevent undue influence over healthcare decisions by restricting gifts, payments, or hospitality. However, there are exceptions for certain benefits that are allowed under strict conditions. As an event planner, if your event involves HCPs or stakeholders from the healthcare sector, you must comply with these rules. ### **Key Exceptions for Event Planners** While most benefits are prohibited, there are specific exceptions that are relevant to event planners: 1. **Hospitality**: - You can provide **meals, lodging, and transportation**, but only within strict limits. For example: - Hotel accommodation: capped at **€150 per night** (including breakfast). - Meals: capped at **€50 per meal**. - Transportation and other costs for an event: capped at **€2,000 per HCP**. 2. **Participation Fees**: - Event fees, like registration for scientific or professional events, can be covered for HCPs, but they must be documented properly. 3. **Training and Research Grants**: - You can offer funding for **training or research** under strict guidelines. These must be pre-approved and documented in formal agreements. ### **How Does This Impact Event Planning?** Event planners need to be meticulous in adhering to the regulation. Here's how it affects your work: - **Budgeting for Hospitality**: Ensure that any accommodation, meals, or travel provided to HCPs remains under the capped amounts. It’s critical to keep receipts and records for compliance checks. - **Attendee Lists**: Review your list of invitees to ensure you are aware of who qualifies as an HCP. Medical students are particularly restricted from receiving any hospitality under these regulations. - **Agreements and Documentation**: All permitted benefits must be clearly outlined in written agreements. These contracts should specify the purpose (e.g., participation in a scientific event, research funding, etc.) and need to be reported to the relevant authorities in France, especially if the benefit exceeds certain thresholds. - **Advanced Declaration**: If the benefit provided exceeds a certain value, you must declare it to French authorities at least **eight days before** the event. This includes hospitality costs like hotels, meals, and transportation. ### **Practical Steps for Staying Compliant** - **Work with your legal team**: Ensure all benefits provided at your event are reviewed and approved by your legal or compliance team. - **Coordinate with suppliers**: Make sure venues, hotels, and transport companies are aware of the caps and regulations. - **Document everything**: Keep thorough records of every benefit offered, and make sure that agreements with HCPs or companies are signed and properly filed. By understanding the French Anti-Benefit Regulation and adapting your event planning processes, you can ensure compliance while still delivering valuable, professional events for healthcare professionals. If you’re organizing a healthcare-related event in France, these regulations will shape much of your logistical planning, so stay informed and work closely with your partners and suppliers to keep things running smoothly. ## **How Native Spaces Can Help You** At Native Spaces, we are familiar to managing event requests within the scope of the French Anti-Benefit Regulation, navigating its complexities with ease. Our team collaborates with flexible hosts that can adapt their offer to comply with established laws, ensuring that the venue aligns with these important regulations. We’re here to assist you in finding the ideal space to match your specific needs, ensuring a smooth and stress-free planning process that fully respects legal requirements.

How to Create an Event and Make a Booking on Native Spaces

First, it's important to understand the difference between **events** and **booking requests** on the Native Spaces platform. - **An event:** This is the overall event you're organizing (for example, a corporate seminar, a wedding, or a birthday party). This is where you define key details such as the date, time, event type, and guest count. Once created, you can link multiple booking requests to the same event if you're considering different venue options. - **A booking request:** This is a specific request sent to a venue host for your event. It includes the event details, a budget estimate, and any additional notes or requests for the host. A booking request is tied to a venue you're interested in, allowing you to check its availability or request a quote. This organization helps you centralize the information and easily track your requests. Now that you know this, here are the steps to organize your first event and make a venue request. ## **How to create a new event** ### **1. Make sure you're in Organizer mode** A.

In this case, select another venue that meets your needs. ## **Manage your requests in "My Events"** Go back to **"My Events"** to view all your requests, organized by event. ![events](https://upcdn.io/FW25bqJ/raw/blog/357/56.png) ### **Additional Tips** - Take the time to clearly detail your needs in the message to the host to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth. - Don’t hesitate to use the filters to refine your search and save time.
