Round up of MIPIM Cannes 2015: 10th- 13th March
It was a thoroughly successful week for Virtual Viewing as MIPIM 2015 got underway in sunny Cannes which took place throughout the course of last week.
It was a very eventful week from start to finish, filled with networking, meets and greets and lots more on the busy agenda.
Our recently launched SlimBIM2go application was showcased and demonstrated at MIPIM which was very well received. This application was created in collaboration with MACE and has since gone from strength to strength, recently being shortlisted at the Building Awards 2015

Virtual Viewing didn’t waste any time, kick-
starting the week early on Monday evening at Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire’s evening reception.
Following on from this, Virtual Viewing attended the Bouygues evening meeting at the Backstage Club for partners and clients which resumed the networking in anticipation for the big day ahead.
Tuesday 10th March
Tuesday 10th March was the official opening of MIPIM 2015, let the business begin at the World’s property market!
And what better way to start the day by having breakfast on the beach, courtesy of Conisbee.
Next on the agenda, Virtual Viewing attended a networking lunch hosted by The Financial Times and fDi, in partnership with Derby UK, which involved catching up with the Local Authorities, Architects and Construction Directors.
Stepping off of the Colliers International yacht and onto the ARUP yacht for the afternoon reception, it’s safe to say this was an event not to be missed! From London to Georgia we covered it all.
To finish off an eventful day, Virtual Viewing took pleasure in attending the FTI Global Property drinks reception, where once more there was plenty of conversation and networking to be had!
Between lots else, the first day was a great success.

And finally, another year at MIPIM draws to a close. And what a beautiful day it was.
With just a few final meetings to be had, MIPIM is done for another year. As we look back over a fantastic week with lots of new contacts and leads, it’s safe to say it’s been a great success. If we missed you at MIPIM 2015, or you wasn’t able to attend, please get in contact to arrange an appointment, we would love to hear from you.
We hope MIPIM was as successful for you as it was for us, and look forward to seeing you all there again next year.
