MIPIM expands across Cannes as it unveils the biggest evolution in the event's 37-year history
MIPIM 2027 responds to feedback from clients and industry leaders with new destinations, more flexible passes and smarter networking tools
A programme shaped by changing investment priorities
Shaped by client feedback and evolving market trends, the 2027 programme focuses on the investment priorities transforming real estate. The new Resilience Stage will build on the Road to Zero programme, extending the debate beyond decarbonisation to climate risk, geopolitical risk and other pressures facing owners and cities.
MIPIM will also sharpen its coverage of sectors that have moved from specialist interest to mainstream investment priority. The Data Centers Summit will be concentrated on Thursday morning to bring the ecosystem together for a focused discussion on designing, building and financing AI-ready infrastructure. A Defense track, within the logistics and industrial summit, CEE and Nordics programming, will explore the growing need for adaptable, resilient and multi-purpose real estate.
The Geostrategies Stage will focus on major investment markets including Germany, the Nordics, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe.
Housing takes centre stage
Reflecting the increasing role of residential real estate in global investment strategies, Housing Matters, MIPIM's dedicated forum for discussing the future of residential investment, will be fully integrated into MIPIM's core programme and move to Tuesday morning at the heart of the event. Bringing together investors, developers, public authorities, urban experts and associations, the forum will address one of the most urgent questions facing cities worldwide: how to deliver more homes, at pace, while meeting affordability, sustainability and resilience demands.
MIPIM 2027 will also continue to host a series of invitation-only summits bringing together major investors, family offices, sovereign wealth funds and political leaders. These include RE-Family, RE-Invest, the Political Leaders Summit and Forum des Élus for French city leaders, reinforcing MIPIM's role as a meeting point for both capital and policymakers.
Helping attendees to make the most of MIPIM
MIPIM 2027 will introduce a series of new services and access options designed to reflect different client needs and help delegates make better use of their time in Cannes. The Full Pass will remain the benchmark for the complete four-day MIPIM experience, alongside a new One Day Pass and an enhanced Premium Pass, which will include a networking concierge service to help delegates organise relevant meetings.
Supporting these changes, a new networking platform will use AI-powered recommendations, simplified search and meeting scheduling to help participants identify relevant people and companies before arriving in Cannes. A redesigned mobile app will provide an improved user experience throughout the event.
For exhibitors, the Lead Manager service will complement the new networking platform by helping teams capture and qualify contacts generated at MIPIM. Together, these tools are designed to support the full business process, from identifying relevant contacts and arranging meetings to capturing leads and following up after the event.
Nicolas Boffi, MIPIM Director said:
“In my first year as MIPIM Director, I have spent a great deal of time listening to clients and industry leaders about what makes MIPIM valuable and where we can do more. The changes we're introducing for 2027 are a reflection of those conversations.
The Palais des Festivals remains the heart of MIPIM and that won't change. What we're doing is creating dedicated spaces for technology, hospitality, luxury living and private capital that are fully part of the event. It's a way of bringing together communities that already come to Cannes and giving them a stronger place within MIPIM.
The new programme reflects what MIPIM has been hearing from clients over the past year: that investment decisions can no longer be viewed through a purely real estate lens. Geopolitics, energy security, technological change, resilience and the race to build AI infrastructure are increasingly shaping where capital flows and how cities evolve. We've also heard a clear message about the value of time. People come to Cannes to do business, so we're introducing new tools and services that make it easier to find the right people and make the most of the opportunities MIPIM creates. Real estate and cities never stop evolving, and neither will MIPIM.”
MIPIM returns to the Palais des Festivals in Cannes 16-19 March 2027.
MIPIM Middle East will be held on 20–21 October 2026 in Riyadh, followed by the MIPIM Asia Summit on 2–3 December 2026 in Hong Kong.
