The Grimaldi Forum Monaco received the Gold Award in the "Venues and Regions" category at the Nuit de l'événementiel in Paris.

In February, Catherine Alestchenkoff, Director of Cultural Events, and Olivier Monchal, Head of Business Development in France at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, presented the summer exhibition *Couleurs! Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou during a pitch session organised as part of the 4^th edition of the Nuit de l’Événementiel, before a jury comprising professionals and key players in the sector. The awards ceremony took place on Monday 9 March at the Théâtre Mogador in Paris, attended by over 1,200 guests.

During this final presentation, the jury was keen to commend the innovative approach developed for this exhibition, particularly through the implementation of a multi-sensory experience (sight, smell, hearing) designed to enhance visitors’ experience.

Sylvie Biancheri, Managing Director of the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, said: “This exhibition has been a huge success, both in terms of visitor numbers and recognition, as it now ranks among the Grimaldi Forum’s top three most successful events, having attracted 76,500 visitors. I am delighted that the creativity of the Grimaldi Forum teams has been recognised and celebrated by event industry professionals.”

This new award adds to the list of some thirty accolades received in recent years, including the title of Best International Conference Centre at the M&IT Awards and the Prince’s Government’s Handipact Trophy for inclusive initiatives at the summer exhibition in 2025.
