Can't believe the conference is over! We went to some interesting sessions, met with some impressive companies, and had a blast!

The CEO of Club Med, Henry Giscard d'Estaing, gave a very interesting presentation on succeeding in the resort industry

Should someone tell Forest City Ratner that we found modular housing in France?

Had cereal this morning in the hot tub before getting ready to head to the convention center for an interesting panel on affordable housing.

How many conferences have this view? Accomplished our goal and made it to one of the the company's yacht parties later

One of the many elaborate models at the convention center. This one is of the Baku White City project.

Now THIS is much more appropriate weather for the South of France! Met with an MSRED Alum working for Hines in Moscow for lunch.

[MSRED_MIPIM @ColumbiaMSREDMI]

Productive day so far! Met with people from a number of REITs and development companies and sat in on some really interesting panels.

[MSRED_MIPIM @ColumbiaMSREDMI]

Fully registered with our badges and ready for a productive day tomorrow! Going to upload pics soon: stay tuned!

[MSRED_MIPIM @ColumbiaMSREDMI]

New plan for the day: Rent Vespas and explore the city. They should also help with that big hill getting back to our Villa later!

You could just see the eiffel tower through the fog if you were in the right place.

This is where we will be spending the next week. This could work!
