Monaco: a destination in perpetual renewal

This year marks a series of changes that go far beyond simple infrastructure updates. They reflect a clear desire: to demonstrate that Monaco is a destination in perpetual renewal, that never stops evolving and always aims higher.

From the extension of its emblematic convention centre to the overhaul of its hotel offering, from digital advances to sustainable urban planning, Monaco is sending out a strong signal to European and international associations.

A new chapter for the Grimaldi Forum

The centrepiece of this transformation is the extension of the Grimaldi Forum Monaco (GFM), inaugurated in January 2025 to mark the centre's 25th anniversary.
Presided over by Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène, the inauguration confirmed that the Principality now has an event complex on an entirely new scale: an additional 6,000 m² of flexible, modular indoor space, plus 2,000 m² of outdoor terraces overlooking the Mediterranean.

This extension increases exhibition capacity by 50%, opening up new opportunities for associations that previously found Monaco too intimate for their needs. Organisers can now design simultaneous conferences and exhibitions, combine plenary sessions with parallel workshops, or integrate open-air networking events into their programme.

Notably, these new spaces benefit from abundant natural light and independent access points, offering the level of flexibility demanded by today's associations.

Yet perhaps the most striking aspect is not the size, but the philosophy.
The new wing of the Grimaldi Forum has been designed with sustainability at its heart: high energy efficiency, use of renewable energy from seawater, optimised waste management and state-of-the-art control systems.

The extension to the centre is not simply an extension, but a genuine evolution of the venue, demonstrating that it is possible to combine development with environmental responsibility(...)
