While the weather alternates between snow and rain in New York City, it’s sunny and pleasant in Cannes, where more than 24,000 real estate pros are attending the 29th Marché International des Professionnels d’Immobilier, or MIPIM, along the French Riviera.
Held at the Palais de Festivals, the four-day conference offers developers, architects, financial players and investors the opportunity to network, learn and make deals. The global property event is hosting 3,100 exhibitors, 5,300 investors and financial institutions, 4,500 developers and 1,800 architects and designers among its participants from today through Friday.
Our reporter Liam La Guerre arrived yesterday and has been tweeting his way through the 2018 convention, from the beach to the exhibitors’ booths. He has already sat down with Brookfield Property Partners’ Ric Clark and Boris Capelle, a director at Savills in France.
Take a look at what he’s been up to:
