MIPIM harbour access

During MIPIM 2024, the Jetée Albert Edouard (JAE) will be privatized.

Gates will delimit the privatized area with an access control, as for all other entry point of the MIPIM zone. We kindly ask you to respect rigorously this organisation.

  • MIPIM delegates can access the private harbour upon presentation of their badge.
  • Yacht crew members, extra staff, yacht brokers and caterers must have a "Harbour" badge in order to access this private zone.

We draw your attention to the fact that MIPIM prohibits participants and exhibitors from engaging in activities that are identical or similar to those conducted in the Event venue (notably to participate in any meeting with professionals not registered to the Event), the immediate surrounding area or in any other exhibition area that the Organiser may designate, during the period of the event.

The yachts should not be assimilated with stands and can only be used for accommodation or social events purposes.

Access to the JAE with mandatory badge:

  • From March 12, 2024 to March 14, 2024: 7.30 - 18.00

During these opening hours, the harbour access will be exclusively reserved for MIPIM badges and Harbour badges holders.
