Every year, MIPIM gathers the most influential players from all sectors of the international property industry for a four-day event of networking, learning and insightful discussion through various conferences and exhibitions. MIPIM 2019’s central theme, “Engaging the Future,” focused on envisioning the next 30 years of the real estate industry with an emphasis on sustainability. Ban Ki-moon, the eight Secretary-General of the United Nations, gave the opening keynote speech at MIPIM on Tuesday, March 12 at 2:00 pm. He shared his vision of the new global challenges, from climate change and economic upheaval to increasing pressures involving energy and water.
A special U.S. panel was hosted by the Commercial Observer and will include speakers: Bruce Mosler, Chairman of Global Brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield, Kenneth Fisher, Partner at Fisher Brothers, Mark Edelstein, Partner at Morrison & Foerster LLOand David Bouton, Managing Director at Citigroup Global Markets.
The 30th edition of MIPIM highlighted global and societal topics impacting the real estate industry. The central theme focused on future economic growth, community cohesion and sustainability. Revenue streams in the real estate industry are rapidly evolving within the digital era. As a result, companies and investors are changing their approaches to real estate as an investment and product service. At MIPIM 2019, panelists answered key questions such as “What are the best strategies for long-term benefits?”, “What are the best strategies to ensure optimal quality of life?” and “What practices are the most environmentally responsible and how can we utilize existing resources optimally?”
Environmental sustainability was key theme at this year’s MIPIM. High energy prices, climate change and new government regulations are actively changing traditional industry platforms and practices. Panelists analyzed how the real estate industry is being transformed by these factors and discuss strategic ways to adapt and invest moving forward. Additionally, they discussed how disruptive technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and big data optimize real estate management and profitability in the digital era.
For the first time, MIPIM featured a Young Leaders Summit focused on millennials and their impact on the real estate industry today and in the future. In the real estate industry, millennials are today’s end-users and tomorrow’s decision-makers. The Young Leaders Summit analyzed the modern sharing economy and its focus on connections and new methods of investing in addition to greater environmental awareness.
MIPIM 2020 will be held March 10-13 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France.
