MIPIM will organize a gathering of international real estate leaders who wish to conduct business, benefit from timely content and network together to help speed the recovery of the property industry. The programme of conferences, networking opportunities and awards will take place in September, in conjunction with other activities in Paris, focused on innovation in real estate.  

MIPIM Connect will launch in April and be free for delegates who have registered for MIPIM 2020. The new online service will feature a range of thought leadership content, networking and business tools, and will be available to real estate professionals worldwide on a year-round basis.  

“The situation surrounding COVID-19 is changing daily and government measures are becoming increasingly restrictive. It is clear that holding a large MIPIM tradeshow in Cannes in June is not feasible given the rapid spread, devastating impact and uncertain evolution of the virus. As it is not possible to organize a traditional MIPIM by the end of this year, we are planning a different form of gathering for clients in the autumn in Paris, plus a digital experience, MIPIM Connect. These aim to help the industry start to recover and are the precursors of MIPIM in Cannes in March 2021,” said Filippo Rean, Real Estate Division Director at Reed MIDEM. 

The MIPIM team will communicate more details about the September gathering in Paris and MIPIM Connect in the coming weeks.

“We appreciate the support and feedback we received from many MIPIM customers and are grateful for their patience and understanding. Together with our partners in Cannes, we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Cannes in March 2021 for an excellent MIPIM and, in the meantime, we hope people stay connected and, above all, safe,” said Ronan Vaspart, MIPIM Director.
