December 7 - 13 | The Monaco Experience

In December, the Riviera reveals its most luminous face. For IUM alumni and their families, Monte-Carlo Experience has curated a collection of rare moments: private doors opened, gestures of master artisans, the coast at its quietest. Three universes, to be combined freely before or after the celebrations of 9–11 December.

Discover the full program and find all the details you need to book your place in the activity catalogue.

Registration Information ⚠️

Please note that the number of tickets is very limited and registrations will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you are unsure whether you will be able to attend, we kindly ask that you leave your place available for other alumni.

For the evening of December 9, two separate registration options are available:

• Anniversary Ceremony (6:00 PM – 8:30 PM)
• Alumni Celebration Cocktail (8:30 PM – 11:00 PM)

This flexible format allows alumni who can only attend part of the evening to participate, while maximizing the number of alumni who can join the celebration.

The same registration format applies to the program on December 10, allowing you to register separately for the Homecoming at IUM and the Networking Cocktail.

As capacity is very limited, registration for the December 9 Anniversary Event is reserved for alumni, and we are unfortunately unable to offer tickets for accompanying guests at this stage. Should additional places become available, they may be allocated to accompanying partners, with priority given to Alumni Ambassadors and active members of the IUM alumni community.

Partners are, however, warmly welcome to join you for the Networking Cocktail on December 10, as well as for the optional paid experiences taking place on December 11, which will be organized by an external provider.

We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Monaco as we celebrate 40 years of IUM. Your presence will make this anniversary even more meaningful, and we are excited to reconnect, celebrate, share memorable moments, and create new memories with you and the global IUM alumni community.

Warm regards,

Viola Hillmer

Head of Alumni Relations
