Intimate Locations
With fully renovated rooms and suites, immerse yourself in beauty and sophistication at Fairmont Monte Carlo beach resort, and discover for yourself why we’re regarded as one of the best hotels in Monte Carlo. Ideally located on the French Riviera, overlooking the stunning Mediterranean Sea and close to the legendary Monte Carlo Casino, the Fairmont Monte Carlo luxury hotel is a perfect base for relaxing in style, exploring Monaco, or holding important business meetings. With a year-round pool and multilingual babysitting, we are also among the best family hotels in Monaco.
Soak up the Mediterranean sun and book in for some pampering at our luxury spa, then treat yourself to a sunset cocktail followed by an exquisite meal at the world-famous Nobu. Discover the opulence of the Prince's Palace of Monaco and the grandeur of the Place du Casino, both a short distance from Fairmont Monte Carlo. Motorsport enthusiasts are also in for a treat: in addition to awe-inspiring Riviera vistas, our luxury hotel in Monte Carlo offers unparalleled close-up views of the Monaco Grand Prix’s famed Fairmont Hairpin Curve.
Networking & Career Development Opportunities
Keystone Symposia hosts Career Roundtables at our conferences to support and train the next generation of scientific leaders. These workshops create a forum for experienced leaders to share their unique perspectives on career development, professional pitfalls, and the breadth of scientific opportunities available to support trainee scientists in an informal setting. Trainees and early-career investigators have the opportunity to interact with established researchers from a broad range of backgrounds and career paths for path-defining career development advice and networking opportunities.
“The most important message is that we all walk nonlinear paths and it is so easy to forget when we experience struggle or we look up at people in power position: it always looks so simpler on the other side…Thanks again for your investment on the trainees. Priceless investment on the present and future of science.”
–Valentina Greco, PhD, Carolyn Slayman Professor of Genetics, Yale School of Medicine
Meet-the-Editor RoundtablesMeet-the-Editor workshops – available at select meetings – foster connections between editors and scientists. Relationships forged during these events lead to publication for researchers while providing editors insight into new discoveries and cutting-edge research directions to showcase editorially. Attendees are encouraged to fast-track research insights to publication by attending the roundtables and contacting editors in attendance during the meeting. Check the full program for Meet-the-Editor events.
Health Equity ForumsHealth Equity Forums – offered at select meetings – engage conference participants in conversations that showcase how scientists are bringing molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches to bear on inclusive research design. Featured panel discussions and short talks at select Keystone Symposia meetings explore how recognizing human variation and taking patient-centered research approaches can advance precision treatment and improve health outcomes for the global population.
