Since the cancellation of the Salon du Crédit in 2024, professionals in the intermediary sector—those who help individuals and businesses access financial services—have lacked an annual event focused on their work. To address this, the Federation of Credit Broking has launched Intermed, a new congress set to take place on April 30, 2027, in Deauville. The event will be held at the Couvent des Franciscaines, the day after the Federation's own convention on April 29. While Intermed is supported by the Federation, it will be open to all professionals in the sector, not just its members. Bruno Rouleau, co-founder and general secretary of the Federation, explained that the goal is to create an annual gathering for the broader ecosystem of financial intermediaries, including various professional associations and groups. The first edition of Intermed will include a partner village with around fifty exhibitors, offering opportunities for networking and showcasing services. The event will be held in conjunction with the Federation's internal events, with its convention taking place on April 29, followed by the open congress on April 30. Beyond professional meetings, Intermed will serve as a forum for discussing major changes in the credit sector and household financing. Three roundtable discussions will form the core of the first edition. The first will focus on financial education and its role in preventing fraud, the second will explore artificial intelligence and its associated risks, and the third will address the future of housing, a topic of particular interest to real estate professionals. Several key figures from the sector have already confirmed their participation, especially as France approaches the second round of presidential elections. The Federation of Credit Broking aims to use Intermed to elevate housing as a public debate topic, bringing together the concerns of professionals and households. The Federation plans to make Intermed an annual and itinerant event, held each spring in a different region of France. This approach will allow the congress to accompany the Federation’s nationwide meetings and conventions, ensuring that professionals from various territories can participate. By creating a recurring platform for discussion and collaboration, Intermed seeks to address the evolving needs of the financial intermediary sector.
