The Grimaldi Forum Monaco has been named Best International Venue at the 2026 micebook Awards, held in London on 25th June, in a ceremony recognising the best venues and organisers across the events industry. The award, presented by British events professionals and considered one of the most prestigious in the MICE sector, confirms the venue’s standing as a global reference point for hosting major international events.
The jury highlighted three particular strengths behind the win: the venue’s commitment to more sustainable event management through an ambitious corporate responsibility policy, its recently inaugurated extension, which has increased both capacity and flexibility, and its fully tailor-made approach, designed to meet the specific needs of each event organiser.
Part of a wider run of recognition
The award extends a string of recent accolades for the Grimaldi Forum. Earlier this year, the venue received a Gold Award at La Nuit de l’Événementiel in Paris, in the ‘Lieux et Territoires’ category, while late 2025 saw it named Best Overseas Conference Centre at the M&IT Awards. The venue has also previously received the Princely Government’s Trophée Handipact in recognition of its commitment to inclusion, taking its total distinctions in recent years to more than thirty.
A model built on three pillars
Sylvie Biancheri, General Director of the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, said the recognition reflected years of sustained effort. “Receiving this distinction in the United Kingdom is a wonderful recognition for our teams,” she said. “It rewards a vision we have pursued for several years: offering international organisers events that are increasingly innovative, responsible and entirely tailor-made. This award encourages us to continue our ambition of making the Grimaldi Forum Monaco an unmissable reference point in international events.”
The venue’s model, combining a congress centre, an internationally renowned cultural programme and its own production activity for live shows under one roof, is one the Grimaldi Forum credits with strengthening both its own international appeal and Monaco’s broader profile as a destination for major events.
