MIPIM - The Global Urban Festival
11-14 March 2025
Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France

MIPIM has pledged to be a pioneering event in matters of sustainability. Making MIPIM more diverse is part of our commitments.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

MIPIM 2024 will be more diverse, accessible, and safer for all, reflecting the world in which we live and the communities that we serve. Conference panels with three people or more will aim to feature at least one woman. Moreover, free passes and accommodation will be available to selected delegates under 30 years of age. In partnership with the Palais des Festivals, we will ensure accessibility for all persons with disabilities.  


A younger crowd

MIPIM invites 16 people below 30 years of age to participate in the event free of charge, with their accommodation paid for by MIPIM.

These Challengers were selected via a 600-word essay contest in which they discuss the challenges facing urban development and how young professionals can be a part of the solution. Authors of the winning entries are invited to participate in three conference sessions during MIPIM, including two dedicated events. This initiative is designed to boost the diversity, equity and inclusion of MIPIM.

Diversity at MIPIM

At conferences

At MIPIM 2024, at least one woman features on conference panels with three participants or more. This policy is displayed alongside the details of each event in the programme.

In real estate

MIPIM Director Nicolas Kozubek has signed a charter of commitment to gender parity and equality in the workplace for firms and organisations in the real estate sector, in partnership with Le Cercle des Femmes de l’Immobilier. This French association seeks to improve the representation of women in the workplace, through education and greater transparency, to drive collective action. 

Diversity and inclusion events

MIPIM is strongly committed to promoting diversity in real estate. Several events will be dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion.

We would love to offer visibility for diversity and inclusion events organized by our clients taking place during MIPIM. If you are an association promoting diversity, please contact us.
