MIPIM 2026 is a trade fair in Cannes, France.
MIPIM is the world's leading trade fair for the property and real-estate industry, held each March at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. The 2026 edition runs 9-13 March 2026. Organised by RX France, MIPIM gathers more than 20,000 property professionals, investors, developers, architects and city leaders from around 90 countries, functioning as the global marketplace and networking event for major real-estate and urban-development deals.
MIPIM has an unusual stand brief because it is as much a networking festival as an exhibition. Cities, regions and major developers build hospitality-led stands and pavilions designed for meetings, presentations and entertaining, often with lounges, bars, meeting rooms and models of flagship developments. The premium is on prestige, comfort and brand impression: high-quality finishes, catering-capable spaces and architectural models, rather than product display. Many delegations also use nearby yachts and venues, but the Palais stands anchor the presence.
MIPIM occupies the Palais des Festivals and surrounding spaces, and placement within the layout carries real weight given the deal-making context and the prestige hierarchy of locations. The hospitality nature of the stands brings catering and services requirements, and the Cannes venue and city rules apply to build-up in a compact seafront setting. Given the finish and hospitality standards, exhibitors confirm design and placement well in advance.
For cities and companies exhibiting at MIPIM, a builder with Cannes and Palais des Festivals experience is a genuine advantage: prestige hospitality stands with catering, meeting space and development models are specialist builds, and local knowledge of the venue's logistics, catering and approved contractors reduces risk during the most important week in the global property calendar.
