'Mipim is o useful barometer of the sector's health'

摘要

Incredibly, this year is the 30th anniversary of Mipim, the international real estate convention in Cannes. For those of us who have attended from the start, tactfully described by the organisers as pioneers rather than veterans, it has been a rollercoaster journey! Skimming through my past Property Week blogs and columns gives a useful snapshot of the real estate sector's ups and downs. In 1990, just 2,973 delegates from 22 countries attended. The event aspired to be international at a time when the property sector was largely national. This year, 26,000 delegates are expected from 100 countries, with many multinational delegates.
