Monaco International Investment Forum

The Monaco International Investment Forum is a two-day event held at the Yacht Club de Monaco, now in its fifth year. Recent editions have drawn more than 600 guests, among them over fifty family offices, alongside investors, industry leaders, wealthy individuals, entrepreneurs and innovators from around the world.

Who attends

At 600 people this is a large gathering by the standards of Monaco, a principality of under 40,000 residents holding one of the highest concentrations of private wealth anywhere. The forum uses that setting to pull an international crowd into a small place for two days.

The badge on this listing marks it as a founders and executives event. Family offices are well represented, but the room is built around entrepreneurs seeking capital and investors seeking opportunities, and the exhibitor format reinforces that. Anyone expecting a screened family office peer group should look elsewhere in this directory.

How access works

Registration is paid and qualified, and the organiser does not publish rates for any attendee category on the forum site. Prospective attendees are directed to the organiser, and a newsletter signup is the main public route to information about the next edition.

The absence of published pricing on an event of this size is worth noting. Where a forum sells exhibition booths, rates usually vary considerably by what a participant wants, and asking directly is the only way to get a figure.

What attendees get

The two days are split by purpose. The first is given over to business activity, with private exhibitor booths where firms present to attendees, closing with a gala dinner. The second runs panels and keynotes covering family office investing, digital transformation, changes in real estate investment, data security and defence, followed by a symposium on property technology.

That structure is honest about what the forum is. Day one is a marketplace. Day two is content. A family office attending for ideas should plan around the second day; one attending to see what is being offered should plan around the first.

The reason to consider it at all is Monaco itself. A principality this small with this much capital rarely opens up, and a forum that puts 600 people including fifty family offices in the Yacht Club for two days is one of the few reliable ways into that market for someone not already resident.
