THE MONTE-CARLO BAY HOTEL & RESORT

There's no place like Monaco for tuning out distractions and getting down to the business of rethinking global media. MMF's signature venue is the delightfully sophisticated Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, perched amid four acres of pools, garden terraces and stunning waterfront views of both the mountains and the Mediterranean.  Aside from the gala dinner--up the hill at the august Hotel de Paris--all conference activities take place right onsite.  It's a unique locale to which MMF owes much of its exclusive & intimate character.

For the sybariticly inclined, there's everything from a solarium swimming pool and sand-bottomed artificial salt-water lagoon to an outpost of Paris' Cinq Mondes spa.  Right next door is legendary Jimmy'z.  The sun really does typically shine, even in November.  MMF participants and guests have been known to stay on for the weekend.

Monaco is thirty minutes from Nice International airport, with frequent direct flights from all major European cities.
