MARSEILLE EVENTS: THE NEW MANAGER OF MARSEILLE CHANOT
On 12 December 2024, Marseille City Council officially awarded the management and operation of Marseille Chanot to the GL events and CCIAMP INFRASTRUCTURES consortium.
Since 1 January 2025, Marseille events, a newly created local subsidiary of the GL events group, has been responsible for operating and marketing this emblematic site.

This transition marks an important step in the development of Parc Chanot. By joining the GL events Venues network, which currently comprises 60 event venues in 28 destinations around the world, Parc Chanot has become part of an international dynamic while consolidating its local roots.

The new structure will focus on three key strategic directions:
– Position Marseille as a leading destination for business tourism and international events, thanks to a competitive offering and modernised infrastructures.
– Strengthen the urban integration of Marseille Chanot, by creating open spaces that are accessible to the people of Marseille, in particular through the development of green areas.
– Rethink the event offering by proposing innovative and unifying events that capitalise on GL events’ expertise and specific local features.

With this new impetus, Marseille events aims to transform Marseille Chanot into a major player in the region’s economic, cultural and social development.
