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 welcomes everyone in a safe environment, to reflect the world in which we live and the communities that we serve. Conference panels with three people or more feature at least one woman. Free passes and accommodation are available to selected delegates under 30 years of age, via the MIPIM Challengers programme. We also ensure accessibility for all persons with disabilities.
A safe and secure business environment
MIPIM is committed to providing a safe and secure business environment built on mutual respect for all participants.
Inappropriate behaviour, disrespect or harassment, is not part of the MIPIM experience and will not be tolerated. Everyone can attend MIPIM, free from fear of discrimination, or concern about their personal safety.
Diversity at MIPIM
Gender balance in conferences
At MIPIM, 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.
At MIPIM 2024, 42% of speakers were women on official sessions (41% during MIPIM 2023).
Advocating for gender equality 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.
Dedicated 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.

Giving every young voice a platform
Since 2024, the MIPIM Challengers initiative creates space for the next generation of real estate professionals, sharing their commitment to a sustainable urban environment, while promoting the values of diversity and inclusion.
Each year, we select 16 professionals under the age of 30, to fully participate in MIPIM in Cannes, with free entry passes and dedicated sessions to platform their views and network with the real estate community. By empowering young people and giving them a voice to influence decision-makers and industry leaders, we advocate for youth, growth and equitable change.
