MIPIM follow up

It has been 1 week since my return from MIPIM 2006.
What a week it was over in Cannes!
I spent many hours walking the Palais and various other sites catching up with old and new prospects, many hours eating fabulous food and a couple drinking the finest champagne. (as you do in France)

For those of you with any interest in the Global Property market MIPIM is the place for you to go. It is an annual convention that gives you access to all players in the industry including Global experts, international banks, new projects,marketing and PR companies, realestate agaents, taxation specialists, individual country representatives and corporate end users.

MIPIM allows you access at your fingertips to people you would never be able to get a face to face meeting with at any other time. It also has daily/hourly conferences on a wide range of subjects including The Rise Of the Personal Investor to Emerging Trends & Alternative Futures.

I have to say that I would recommend Damien Keogh from Shanghai Vision www.ShanghaiVision.com for his insight into the Chinese market and also Guy Hollis from Jones Lang Lasalle for the Asian Market in general.

Big thanks to Julie Fitzsimmons Director of Lodestar marketing for her advice of how to make the most of MIPIM. Contact Julie at www.lodestaruk.com . They have true global knowledge of how to get the best of your market in the Real Estate industry.

Also thanks to Dan Shearing for the most amazing time lapse photography that I can use to promote my developments. Dan can be contacted at www.digitalmindltd.com . I think this advertising medium is the way to the future!!!!

According to the times, you can get 20% growth per year in cyprus....
I wish I could forward this article to all people who did not believe me or looked incredulously when we have been talking about growth in the property market in Cyprus. There are some big boys out there in the real estate industry that should be eating thier words right now.
