Informa Further Extends
Partnership with Monaco Through Top Marques
Informa plc, the leading
international events, digital services and
academic research group, today announced plans to further extend
its long-term partnership with the Principality of Monaco. This
follows on from Informa's recent proposed acquisition of Ascential
plc. the owner of the Cannes Lions and Money20/20 brands, and the
build out of its Informa Festivals business.
Informa has been in partnership with
Monaco for more than ten years and is one of the largest organisers
of Live B2B Events within Monaco. The partnership began with the
Monaco Yacht Show and now includes more than 15 brands across
Luxury markets including Art, Yachting and Boats, both in the US
and in Europe. Most recently, the leading media brand for the
Superyacht industry, BOAT International, was added into the
partnership portfolio.
Today sees the addition of Top
Marques into the partnership, a Luxury event brand located in
Monaco, which brings together the biggest names in the Supercar and
Luxury industries every year. Since its inception in 2004, Top
Marques Monaco has been the platform for more than 100 new supercar
model launches. The event's 20th anniversary will take
place from 7 to 11 May 2025.
Top Marques will benefit from the
existing strength of the Informa/Monaco partnership within Luxury
and Lifestyle markets, as well as Informa's broader international
scale and strength in adjacent markets such as Aviation, Technology
and Jewellery.
Salim Zeghdar of Monaco Check-In, a receptive agency and the
organiser of Top Marques Monaco, said: "Informa's extensive international network, strong position in
Luxury, Lifestyle and Technology markets, and deep expertise in
launching and scaling specialist brands, make them the perfect
partner to take Top Marques Monaco to new heights."
Stephen Carter, Group CEO of Informa, said:
"We see Luxury as a growth market and through our
partnership with Monaco have built a unique portfolio of specialist
brands. Top Marques will be a valuable addition, with strong
potential for growth both within Monaco and
internationally."
