Announcing The Winners Of MIPIM UK Calling!

We are happy to unveil the winners of the first ever crowdsourced conference competition hosted by a MIPIM event!

MIPIM UK CALLING

Organised for the first time, MIPIM UK Calling has offered real estate industry experts in the UK the unique opportunity to participate in a crowdsourced conference competition and take part in the MIPIM UK conference programme, reaching over 3,000 property leaders. We asked the public to submit their conference topics and invited the UK property industry to vote for their favourite!

The two most voted proposals have won the opportunity to create their own 45-minute session, get on stage and gain free registration to MIPIM UK 2014 – boosting maximum visibility before, during and after the event.

In order to win, the participants had to submit a topic about the UK property market with a detailed description and share their ideas with their professional network in the hopes of obtaining the most votes. Our winners were entirely selected by the PUBLIC!

Their presentation will touch on a wealth of subjects including retail, town and masterplanning, brand building and the impact of destination marketing in shaping the urban footprint.
