AND THAT MAKES 31!

13 mars 2026

The Grimaldi Forum Monaco has received a new Gold Award in the “Venues and Territories” category at the Nuit de l’Événementiel in Paris.

In February, Catherine Alestchenkoff, Director of Cultural Events, and Olivier Monchal, Head of Business Development for France at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, presented the summer exhibition Colours! Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou during a pitch session held as part of the 4th edition of the Nuit de l’Événementiel, before a jury of professionals and leading industry figures. The awards ceremony took place on Monday, 9th March at the Théâtre Mogador in Paris, in the presence of more than 1,200 guests.

During this “Grand Oral”, the jury commended the innovative approach developed for the exhibition, particularly the implementation of a multisensory experience (sight, smell, sound) designed to enhance the visitor’s journey.

According to Sylvie Biancheri, General Director of the Grimaldi Forum Monaco:
This exhibition was a tremendous success, both in attendance and reputation, securing its place today among the Top 3 most successful exhibitions of the Grimaldi Forum with 76,500 visitors. I am delighted that the inventiveness of the Grimaldi Forum teams is once again recognised and celebrated by professionals in the event industry.

This new Award adds to the list of thirty distinctions received in recent years, including the title of Best Oversees Convention Centre at the M&IT Awards and the Princely Government’s Handipact Trophy for inclusive initiatives carried out during the 2025 summer exhibition.
