It is maintained. The Mipim, the main annual meeting for global real estate, will be held "as planned" in early March in Cannes, their organizers assured Friday, even if the coronavirus epidemic caused the defection of certain participants as well as the cancellation other similar events.
"Mipim will take place as scheduled from March 10 to 13," announced Reed Midem, the group that organizes this event each year in Cannes. This fair is the main annual meeting of the actors of the world real estate, with more than 25,000 participants last year.
"More than 90% of companies maintain their participation"
But the coronavirus epidemic, which spread worldwide this week, prompted several big names to cancel their arrival, as a safety measure. "More than 90% of companies maintain their participation," said the organizers, ensuring that the maintenance of the show took into account "directives from the authorities".
In contrast, other events have been canceled by public authorities in the region, such as the last days of the Nice Carnival. Elsewhere, authorities have banned large international trade shows of the same kind, such as the Geneva motor show.
"Mipim is setting up a dedicated medical team which will be available on site and will work hand in hand with the city of Cannes and the health authorities to ensure that all participants will have access to medical treatment and / or advice in the unlikely event that they need it, ”concluded the organizers.
