Centre de Congrès Auditorium

The Centre de Congrès Auditorium is Monaco's principal venue for large-scale professional events, forming the congress heart of the Grimaldi Forum Monaco at 10 Avenue Princesse Grace in the Larvotto district. Inaugurated in July 2000 by Prince Rainier III and Prince Albert II, the Grimaldi Forum was built to bring international conference and convention business to the Principality, and its auditorium is the centrepiece of that ambition. The main hall, known as the Salle des Princes, seats up to 1,800 delegates in a fully equipped theatre configuration and can be reconfigured for plenary sessions, award ceremonies, product launches and gala dinners. Across the complex, more than 41,000 square metres of adaptable space accommodate up to 24 simultaneous commission rooms alongside vast exhibition halls, making it capable of hosting congresses of international scope. The Grimaldi Forum typically welcomes around 300,000 visitors across 100 events annually. It holds ISO 14001 and ISO 20121 certifications, reflecting a sustained commitment to environmental management in the events industry. Its position on the Larvotto seafront, with a distinctive glass and steel exterior, makes it one of the most recognisable buildings in Monaco.
