A fleet of charter yachts are gathering in the South of France in time for the 30th edition of MIPIM, which gets underway in Cannes’ Palais des Festivals on March 12.

Marking one of the most important dates in the calendar for the real estate sector, MIPIM 2019 will draw in industry professionals from the global property market for four days of networking, attending conferences and fostering business arrangements.

As ever, plenty of participants will seize this excellent opportunity to undertake a corporate yacht charter, and there will be a host of luxury yachts lining Cannes’ Vieux Port when the event kicks off next week. The venue’s proximity to the harbour makes MIPIM the ideal event for wowing industry peers by renting a yacht over the duration of the convention.

With around 3,350 exhibiting companies and 26,000 participants, MIPIM is the premier property expo to meet key stakeholders within the residential, retail, healthcare, and industrial sectors. One of the highlights of MIPIM 2019 will be the MIPIM awards, which celebrates the most outstanding international property players of the year.

For the milestone 30th edition of the event, attendees can expect a jam-packed programme, with a focus on the industry’s future under the lens of durability. Exhibitors will be shining the light on their latest projects, and keynote speakers will be covering insightful topics, including the industry’s success over the past three decades.

As ever, there will also be a dedicated matchmaking service to ensure participants can make the most out of their networking experience by forming new connections and promoting their brands.

Attendees who have chosen to charter a yacht for MIPIM 2019 will have a premium base to retreat to when important business opportunities arise. Participants can use their yacht to conduct meetings in complete privacy, or as a glamorous backdrop for entertaining in style.

There is certainly no better way to impress prospective clients and peers, especially when hosting a fine dining experience, cocktail hour or glittering superyacht party.

What’s more, with so many people heading to the French Riviera for the conference, a superyacht is also an unrivalled accommodation option. As only MIPIM badge holders are granted access to Cannes Harbour, charterers will have no trouble using their yacht to enhance the profile of their company or organisation.
