As CEO and Group Chair of Downtown in Business, I am proud to lead our delegation back to MIPIM in Cannes.
MIPIM is where global capital meets civic ambition and where serious conversations shape real investment decisions. Downtown in Business is not there for profile or presence; we are there to convene leaders, align interests, and accelerate opportunity for UK cities.
At the heart of our programme is the exclusive Leaders Lunch, bringing together senior leaders including Steve Rotheram, Liam Robinson, Joanne Roney, Stephen Young, and Pam Smith. Alongside this, our High Streets Brunch and partner receptions will explore the future of city centres, skills, infrastructure and investment delivery.
By bringing together senior decision-makers from the public and private sectors, we create the environment where influence flows, partnerships form quickly, and investment strategies move from discussion to delivery.
Our mission is simple: connect the right people, around the right objectives, at the right time and ensure outcomes follow.
Enjoy #DIBMIPIM26.
Best wishes
Frank McKenna
