Archived Press Releases close Reed Elsevier Group Reed MIDEM Launches New Property Show In Cannes 01 March 2007 Reed MIDEM, the Paris-based organiser of professional, international exhibitions, announces today that it will launch a new international property tradeshow in Cannes, in September 2008. Cannes, February 28, 2007 – Reed MIDEM, the Paris-based organiser of professional, international exhibitions, announces today that it will launch a new international property tradeshow in Cannes, in September 2008. This latest addition to the Reed MIDEM portfolio will be based on the successful MIPIM property market which takes place annually in Cannes, in March. The new event will be devoted to countries and regions which have strong business potential and are of particular interest to the property investment community. Special focus will be on Central Europe, the Middle East, members of the Russian Federation, Central Asia and Latin America. "Since it was launched in Cannes in 1990, MIPIM has established itself as the single most important international tradeshow for the property business," comments Reed MIDEM Chief Executive Officer, Paul Zilk. "International investors are seeking new business around the world and this show is designed to help them discover countries and regions with particularly attractive investment opportunities. In the television sector, we already hold two events, MIPTV and MIPCOM in Cannes, now we will have two dedicated property shows in the city." Currently, Reed MIDEM holds five international tradeshows in Cannes; MIPTV and MIPCOM for the television and digital content industry, MIDEM for music professionals and MIPIM and MAPIC for the real estate and retail sectors. These events attract more than 64,000 industry executives from over 100 countries to the city and region. Reed MIDEM is Cannes' leading commercial partner. In October 2004, Reed MIDEM signed a 10-year agreement with the Cannes authorities, maintaining its existing tradeshows on the Cote d'Azur until at least 2014. "Our partnership with the city goes back more than 40 years and it is a sign of our continued confidence in Cannes and the excellent progress the city has achieved in the service sector in recent years, that we are bringing another tradeshow to the Cote d'Azur," says Paul Zilk. Bernard Brochand, member of France's National Assembly and Mayor of Cannes says, "I would like to congratulate both Reed MIDEM and SEMEC* teams for the terrific work they have accomplished in order to launch this important event. This new show is in the interest of Cannes and the citizens of Cannes and will contribute to the prosperity of both. As always, Reed MIDEM will be able to count on the city's support." David Lisnard, Deputy Mayor of Cannes and Chairman of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès comments, "The launch of this new, extremely promising event is particularly positive for Cannes and the ever-growing Palais des Festivals. This great event, which will generate business and jobs, comes about as a result of the commercial partnerships and the professionalism of the Palais known for its reliability regarding Reed MIDEM. I would like to thank Paul Zilk and his team for their trust, which I consider vital for Cannes to continue to be an attractive and competitive venue. I would also like to underline the efforts of Cannes' professionals, reflected notably in the service quality charter "Only Cannes." * SEMEC is the public-private body which operates the Palais des Festivals in Cannes About Reed MIDEM Reed MIDEM is a leading organiser of professional international tradeshows.
