Your essential guide to surviving MIPIM
MIPIM is nearly upon us and this year’s event promises to be as big as ever. Ensure you make the most of this unique opportunity and avoid any potential pitfalls by following our helpful hints below.
1. Travel preparation
As simple as it may sound, ensure your hotel details and reservation details are correct and all your travel documents are up-to-date. Finding a room for the night once you’re there will be near impossible!
2. Preparing your diary
Ensure you visit the MIPIM website and download a programme of events to plan your diary and make the best use of your time.
3. Throughout the day
- Split your team up to cover the maximum number of events
- Carry a small water spritzer spray to keep yourself fresh
- Wear comfortable shoes - you'll find yourself on your feet a lot!
- To avoid being on your feet for every meeting, try something different - a coffee stop at Café Roma
4. First timers
If you are new to the event visit the “First Timers’ Meetings” – on Monday 10 March at 10.30am for exhibitors and everyday from 9.30am for participants in the Participants Clubs.
