I am very excited to attend MIPIM for the first time this year. But I didn't want to just put out the usual message saying "Hi, I will be at MIPIM - let's meet".

I am, of course, very keen to catch up with existing contacts and make new ones (so do please let me know when you are free) - but I thought it would be more useful to share a few helpful tips I have come across while preparing myself for the event.

Here is a link to MIPIM's dedicate page for first timers.

Here is a link to the warm-up pre-Cannes party in London.

If you would like to attend Maples Teesdale's drinks reception on the Thursday afternoon, please get in touch...

...and the below link takes you to a website with some excellent tips and tricks for making it through the week.

Shoes, and plenty of them. Leave room for spontaneity and chance encounters. It’s where the magic happens. Come rain or shine, you’ll want to be prepared. We all hope (optimistically) for wall-to-wall sunshine in Cannes, but experience has taught us better than to forget our umbrellas. Embrace wellness and start the day with a run or an early morning yoga session. You won’t feel so bad when you’re sipping that glass of rosé later. Protect yourself with lip balm and sunscreen.
