MIPIM has pushed back its Cannes conference in June in light of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, replacing it with a two-day event in September.
Reed MIDEM, the event’s organiser, was initially set to run this year’s conference 7-10 June.
Instead, it will hold a face-to-face event in Cannes called the MIPIM September Edition, from 7-8 September.
The organiser is hoping the 2022 event will run as normal, from 15-18 March.
Ronan Vaspart, director at MIPIM, said: ‘’The global pandemic has meant that we have had to adapt, with the safety of our clients, partners and staff always our top priority. It is not possible to hold MIPIM in Cannes during June as we had originally hoped to do.
“It is vital that the real estate community continues to have a global platform and we will continue to give it a voice through our digital events.
“We look forward to welcoming leaders from the property sector to the south of France in September for our special MIPIM September Edition, to fast-track our built environment’s recovery after restrictions have eased.
“In 2022, we will hold MIPIM in March, bringing together real estate leaders in Cannes at an event that will herald a return to near normal business.”
