Located on the Quai Amiral Infernet in the Old Port, the venue will then<strong> act as a convention centre<\/strong> to replace the Palais Acropolis, which was destroyed last year. The cost of the structure will be met mainly by a public interest grouping made up of the UN, the French government and Costa Rica, with the City of Nice and the Metropolitan Authority also contributing. A good financial deal for Christian Estrosi's city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-complexe-mice-de-10-600-m\u00b2\">A 10,600 m\u00b2 Mice complex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the final plan and visuals of the project, the future Convention Centre will have a vast modular exhibition hall with a surface area of 4,000 m<sup>\u00b2<\/sup> and two other staggered buildings, one housing a conference centre and the other the port's new ferry terminal. This complex of three structures, which offers <strong>10,600 m\u00b2 total surface area<\/strong>will be fully mobilised for the Ocean Summit, which will bring together 20,000 participants and 150 heads of state from around the world over three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/nice-futur-palais-congres-port-20230407.html\/\" data-id=\"146651\">Also read: Nice: the project for the future Convention Centre lands... on the port<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nice-palais-congres2.jpeg\" alt=\"Project for the new Nice Convention Centre.\" class=\"wp-image-194845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nice-palais-congres2.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/nice-palais-congres2-300x159-derived.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Project for the new Nice Convention Centre.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the large wood and glass hall, the facility will offer 1,200 m\u00b2 of space dedicated to sub-committees, a 2,500-seat auditorium, a 4,000 m\u00b2 esplanade and a 1,400 m rooftop.<sup>\u00b2<\/sup> which can accommodate up to 800 people.

Now that the appeals process has been completed and the relocation of the entire MIN is in the pipeline, this new 18,000 sq. m. public reception facility is expected to be operational by 2029, in time for the 2030 Winter Olympics. By this date, the entire area, which also includes the international airport, offices and numerous hotels (Radisson, Crowne Plaza, B&amp;B, Ibis, Okko Hotels, etc.), will benefit from the proximity of the new Nice airport SNCF train station, which is to be built in place of Nice-Saint-Augustin station.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GL Events' eco-responsible project in Nice's
