A versatile 3,600 m² hall, accommodating up to 2,100 people, will be at the heart of the infrastructure.
The center will be operational from September 2025, further strengthening Nice’s position as a destination for international events.

A key project for the local economy and business tourism

The new Nice Convention Center, set to be operational from September 2025, represents a significant milestone in the city’s event hosting capabilities.

Located in the heart of Nice’s port, this ambitious project is part of a broader strategy to enhance the attractiveness of the French Riviera as a hub for large-scale congresses and events.

With its inauguration set for the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference in June 2025, the center is poised to become a leading infrastructure for hosting international events.

The design of the Convention Center highlights its versatility, tailored to the needs of professionals.

A large 3,600 m² hall will serve as the central space, capable of accommodating up to 2,100 people. This will significantly increase Nice’s capacity to host large-scale events. In addition, 1,200 m² of dedicated congress spaces will create a flexible environment for a variety of events, from professional seminars to international conferences.

This new facility will offer businesses modern, functional solutions for organizing their events on the Côte d’Azur.

A design aligned with ecological transition

Beyond its event-hosting capabilities, the Convention Center project incorporates essential sustainability features.

An innovative maritime terminal, comprising two modules and equipped with a rooftop terrace, will be built adjacent to the Center, offering a total area of 3,800 m².

This space will accommodate up to 2,150 people, reflecting a clear commitment to promoting clean mobility and the electrification of ships, in line with the city’s dedication to the ecological transition.

The maritime aspect of the project is designed to fit into a sustainable development dynamic, further reinforcing Nice’s image as a responsible destination.

A busy schedule already in place

Even before its official opening, the Nice Convention Center is attracting high-profile events. The first major event announced is the Nice Boating Tomorrow trade show, taking place from October 30 to November 2, 2025, which will focus on innovations in the boating industry. This event will provide a valuable opportunity for professionals in the sector to meet, exchange ideas, and discover the latest technological trends.

The 1,600 m² rooftop, overlooking the Baie des Anges, will become a prime location for receptions, offering a spectacular setting for outdoor events. This type of facility, combining aesthetics and functionality, underscores the Convention Center’s ability to meet the needs of companies and organizers seeking exceptional venues for their events.

An infrastructure boosting the dynamism of the Côte d’Azur

With the new Convention Center, Nice reaffirms its status as a leading city for business tourism and international events.

Its opening, scheduled for September 2025, alongside a first series of high-level events, positions this infrastructure as a major driver of economic development for the region.

Balancing modernity, flexibility, and sustainability, this venue promises to meet the growing demands of event organizers while enhancing Nice’s competitiveness on the international congress scene.
