MAPIC 2026, the International Retail Real Estate event, settles into Cannes, France from 3 November 2026 to 4 November 2026, continuing its run as a fixture the industry plans around. It brings together professionals, manufacturers, suppliers and buyers from across the industry, serving as a key sourcing and networking platform. Scheduled every year, it strikes a balance between staying current and giving each edition room to grow. The guest list runs deep, with something like 4000 attendees expected on site. As the organiser, RELX curates the agenda and keeps the experience running smoothly. Palais des Festivals et des Congrès takes on hosting duties, its layout well suited to crowds and content alike.

Few cities suit an event like this as well as Cannes. As a destination, Cannes combines accessibility, hospitality and a character all its own. Travel logistics are kind to visitors: Cannes is easy to reach by air and easy to get around once you arrive. Cannes's hotels span the full spectrum, so whether you want frills or just a good night's sleep, you are covered. Evenings in Cannes are easy to fill, whether that means a memorable meal, a gallery or simply a wander through the streets.

The product mix spans Real Estate, Real Estate Investment, Retail Real Estate and Real Estate, Construction & Urban, reflecting where the industry is today and where demand is heading next. For buyers and sellers alike, it is a chance to do in a few days what would otherwise take months of separate meetings. The show floor features 200+ exhibitors, presenting their newest products, services and solutions.

Visitors leave with new contacts, supplier leads and a clearer view of where the market is heading. For buyers, wholesalers and trade visitors weighing where to spend their time, MAPIC 2026 makes a strong case for itself.
