Les rencontres de Crans-Montana

Mission 
The aim of "Les Rencontres de Crans-Montana", a non-profit foundation, is to help develop innovative cultural events year round, which form part of the resort’s strategy for an « absolute » visitor experience.

Top Events  
We select “top cultural events” (Arts, Music, Literature, Sciences etc.) of the year in conjunction with existing associations, by bringing them together and by being the preferred partner of ACCM and the resort’s Tourist Office (CMTC). Our scope does not include the Fondation Opale, the Fondation Bernard & Caroline de Watteville, or the Caprices Festival.

Our aim
Our main aim is to deepen the interaction between the world of art and culture and new digital technology. 
• We see technology as the bridge between the generations, a way to present culture and the arts, and for people to appreciate it in a different way. 
• For each cultural activity, we want to define the digital/technological input which makes it stand out: the contribution of immersive technology heightens spectators’ emotions by combining visuals, music and conferences interactively with the public. 
• In this context, we examine or find opportunities for cooperation with cultural associations: sharing (the expertise and costs) of immersive technology resources, coordinating agendas by themes, with the possibility of linking several (currently independent) events together in new festivals that last for several days. 
• We are looking to create highly-effective communication with each other.
