Excitement is building up to the kickoff of MIPIM 2012

Check out our post at the official MIPIM blog where we will be contributing next week during the show.

Excitement is building up to the kickoff of MIPIM 2012. Public sector leaders and private sector investors will converge on Cannes, France, next week to take the industry’s temperature, to get a glimpse into the near future, to ask questions (and hopefully find some answers), and to make valuable connections. Students in the real estate MBA program at the Wisconsin School of Business will be there as well.

This is the seventh year that a delegation of Wisconsin Real Estate MBA students will be attending the show. Students and faculty are leaving today and tomorrow for Cannes, still doing research into the topics that will be discussed and the questions that they want to ask.
