It’s day one at MIPIM (Le marché international des professionnels de l’immobilier), the annual international real estate conference held in the south of France, and although things have just started, there have been a lot of celebrity sightings (real estate celebs, anyway) as well as chatter about the industry, and beyond.
To get a good sense of it, check out some of the posts on Commercial Observer’s Twitter feed from the conference:

International affairs (and their reverberations in real estate) also came up:
With #Brexit, "I don't think there are going to be any winners." So says Florian Ehrich, a partner in the #Berlin office of @MoFoLLP, over drinks at #MIPIM. #MIPIM2019
