From October 20th to 23rd, the Sportel Monaco Convention will be held to celebrate sport and celebrate its 30th anniversary with a fanfare at the Grimaldi Forum, especially during the traditional awards ceremony on October 22nd at 8:30 pm.
Every year, the sports business convention, Sportel Monaco, is held in the Principality, with the presence of international companies across different sectors including media, distribution, marketing, and software. 78 countries are represented from all continents and conferences, screenings, signings and sports galas follow one another for four days. This year, the convention will be held from the 20th to 23rd of October and the event that everyone is waiting for is quite naturally the presentation of the Sportel Awards, which each year rewards books, films, advertising… all forms of expression with sport as the heart of the subject. The prizes placed under the patronage of S.A.S. Prince Albert II of Monaco and the International Olympic Committee. In 2019, the event, which will take place on October 22nd at 8:30 pm at the Grimaldi Forum, promises to be a big one, as it will celebrate its 30th edition.
