Local authority pulls out of MIPIM 2011
Nottingham City Council has announced that it will not be attending MIPIM next year due to ‘austerity’ cutbacks. Quelle surprise.
The presence of numerous local authorities at the annual property event in Cannes was always questionable.
The need to promote the UK’s regional cities to an international audience is a given, but did it really need to involve the sponsorship of a major hotel or a performance by an aging rock band?
MIPIM has it’s rightful place in the property calendar but the public sector won’t be missed.
