The need to improve planners’ understanding of the value later living brings communities was a key discussion point for the industry figures that gathered for last week’s event.

Property Week brought together a panel of experts to discuss the growing uptake of AI across the industry and the challenges and opportunities it presents.

Property Week features editor Andy Hillier joined 60 riders taking part in this year’s annual fundraising Cycle to Mipim, an epic challenge where participants pedal to Cannes, France.

It’s my Mipim Day three and another early start for a breakfast catch-up with FTI’s Giles Barrie and a chat about future Propertyshe podcast guests.

It was another early start for those attending the Mipim British Property Federation (BPF) investor breakfast, now a stand-up reception at the UK Stage in the Palais rather than the lavish sit-down breakfast of old at the Carlton Hotel.

After yesterday’s tough day in the mountains, I thought today would be a relatively easy run to the finish line in Cannes. How wrong I was.

As I write, rainclouds have evaporated on the second day of Mipim, but the outlook remains far from sunny.

Day Five has been nicknamed “Queen of the Mountains” day by the riders, as it is the highest elevation overall.

I arrived into a rainy, grey Cannes early evening on Monday with promises from the driver that tomorrow’s weather would be fine.

The morning came all too soon. Before I knew it, it was 4.30am and my alarm clock was buzzing ahead of our 5.30am departure.

There aren't many advantages to being a ‘morning lark’ but it turns out it’s quite useful on group cycling trips.

For the six-day riders, the day started with an early 4.45am alarm call on the ferry ahead of their arrival into Ouistreham.

This morning the six-day riders to Mipim in Cannes, France, set off from Battersea Power Station in London.

Despite some progress overall, the number of women in senior real estate roles is disappointingly low.

Speakers at Property Week’s Industrial & Logistics Conference were optimistic about the sector’s prospects, despite a number of challenges.

Professionals will come together in London next month for the Later Living & Care Conference. Adam Branson delves into the key topics the event will address.

At last month’s PropSki conference in France, Skieward Consulting, eEnergy and Property Week brought together an expert panel to discuss how the industry can help businesses to cut their carbon footprint.

Property Week joined skiers and snowboarders from across the property industry for a week-long mix of business and sport at the annual PropSki event.

Next month’s Mipim conference aims to dispel the economic gloom with a strong showing from the UK’s regions along with senior politicians and global investors.

After last year’s Mipim proved a particularly damp affair, with persistent rain and the occasional thunderstorm, property professionals heading to Cannes, southern France, will be hoping for brighter skies when they gather for this year’s event between 9 and 13 March.
