Property show Mipim has been postponed until June, amid fears over the continuing spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus.
Mipim was due to take place from 10 to 13 March in Cannes but has now been moved back to 2-5 June.
A number of businesses that had been due to attend had already pulled out of the show, which was originally expected to attract nearly 27,000 attendees from across the world.
“The well-being of our clients and staff is our priority. Given the evolving context, the best course of action is to postpone MIPIM to June,” said Paul Zilk, chief executive of organiser Reed Midem.
“This is not a decision we have taken lightly. We believe these new dates will provide the international MIPIM community with the opportunity to achieve their business objectives. We are grateful to our clients for their support and constructive input during this challenging period, and we look forward to talking with them in the coming days about MIPIM in June.”
