Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France
11 - 14 Mar 2025
Real estate descends on Cannes for a show that pulls out all the stops for exceptional corporate gatherings and indulgent MIPIM yacht charters.
Since its launch in 1990, the number of MIPIM charter yachts has steadily increased, with the show now attracting more than 20,000 visitors each year. Hosting a crowd of industry professionals and keynote speakers including political leaders, CEOs, and high-profile investors, the French Riviera-based event is unmissable for serious players on the global property scene.
Held annually each March at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, MIPIM (translated as The International Market for Real Estate Professionals) is a four-day networking event for the world's biggest names in real estate, with the office, residential, retail, healthcare, sport, logistics, and industrial sectors all present.
Covering an exhibition space of 20,000m2, MIPIM and France yacht charters present the ideal platform for key decision-makers to develop their business within both domestic and international property markets, taking advantage of the industry exhibitors, dedicated conference programs, and unrivaled networking opportunities.
Accommodating over 300 stands and more than 2,500 exhibiting companies, MIPIM features dedicated zones for seamless movements around the exhibits, including the UK Hub, and the HTL Connection.
Additionally, Vieux Port and Jetée Albert Edouard are now fully integrated into the event floor plan, offering premium spaces for visiting motor yacht charters with high visibility for exhibitors. These enhancements aim to foster networking, showcase innovative projects, and connect industry leaders with global investors.
As a destination that is renowned for being a superyacht hotspot and host to many popular events including the Cannes Yachting Festival, Cannes and MIPIM regularly welcome some captivating superyachts to Vieux Port - thanks to the proximity to Palais des Festivals and the enchanting stretch of la Croisette.
Included within the exhibition space of MIPIM, Vieux Port can accommodate luxury yacht rentals up to 213ft (65m), making it an ideal location to entertain clients in an indulgent base and finalize deals in an exclusive environment.
Some of the yachts that have previously berthed in Vieux Port include 141.1ft (43m) superyacht charter ANNAMIA, 137.10ft (42.01m) luxury yacht charter WILLOW, and 133.10ft (40.79m) yacht rental TOSUN.
Laden with opportunities to mix with realtors from across the globe, MIPIM ensures that every visitor can get the most out of the five-day event with a host of curated attractions designed to educate, inform, and inspire those in attendance.
Introduced in the 2024 edition, all Cannes and West Mediterranean yacht charter guests can expect a half-day summit called Housing Matters, which is focused on sustainable housing solutions. Created in collaboration with Co-Liv, the program builds on the successful introduction of the MIPIM Co-Liv Summit which was launched in 2023.
Covering housing solutions like built-to-rent, coliving, multi-family housing, and corporate housing, all visitors will have the chance to get a closer look at the innovations and proposed solutions to increasing sustainability in the housing sector.
In 2025, MIPIM introduced the UK Hub, a three-day conference, dedicated to showcasing investment opportunities in first-time exhibiting UK cities. This initiative aims to highlight major property and regeneration projects from across the UK, promoting cities in Scotland and England that have demonstrated resilience since the pandemic, reasserting their roles as drivers of national growth.
MIPIM presents a unique platform to spotlight such developments to the global investment community, facilitating capital deployment in the UK's evolving economic landscape.
A dedicated platform for professionals in real estate, hospitality, tourism, and leisure to connect and build partnerships, HTL Connection is located in a new 500-square-meter tent at the entrance of La Croisette, offering premium exhibition spaces, enhanced networking opportunities, and a comprehensive three-day conference program. This dedicated zone reflects the growing significance of the hospitality sector.
Combining MIPIM with an indulgent South of France yacht charter, the seaside town of Cannes becomes a captivating stopover thanks to the immersive atmosphere produced by the wide number of glamorous receptions, parties, and dinners.
Indeed, there is no better way to secure deals and generate new business than securing a corporate charter berthed in the Old Port of Cannes, set right next to the Palais des Festival.
In addition to the main event at Palais des Festivals, MIPIM yacht charters offer abundant opportunities to get a real taste of the Mediterranean with all the cosmopolitan highlights that the Cote d'Azur is famous for. While attending the show, charter guests can visit stunning sites of historical significance like Lerins Abbey (Abbaye de Lerins) and make the most of a water toy garage by plunging into the depths to visit the Cannes Underwater Eco-Museum (Musée sous-marin de Cannes).
