For the third year Illinois REALTORS® are planning to take part in one of the world’s largest real estate conferences.

Called MIPIM, the annual event brings together industry heavyweights in Cannes, France for four days of meetings and presentations. The event is March 14-17.

If you are planning to go, you should make your plans now. The limited number of rooms fill up, so time is of the essence. Here are a few necessary resources:

  • NAR has a page with information on the conference and how to register for the NAR discounted registration rate.  You’ll need to fill out the subsidiary contract, which gets you the discount.
  • The MIPM website can be found here. This year’s theme is “A new deal for real estate.”

MIPIM attracts more than 23,000 people to Cannes each year. The Palais des Festivals provides many floors of exhibit space, and Illinois REALTORS® will be in the U.S. pavilion set up by NAR and its partner affiliates.
