MIPCOM CANNES
12 to 15 Oct 2026, World event
The city
Cannes in brief.
Everything in Cannes points towards the Palais des Festivals. The building at the western end of the Croisette hosts the property trade in March, the film festival for twelve days in May and the advertising industry in June, and the town rearranges itself around each.
Older Cannes sits just behind: the hill of Le Suquet, the covered Forville market at its foot, and the two Lérins islands a quarter of an hour offshore. September returns the bay to sailors, first for the Yachting Festival and then for the classic yachts of the Régates Royales.

In the city
What people come for.
Each is something to ask FJS Concierge about. The request opens with the subject and Cannes already filled in, and is answered personally.
Culture
The film festival
The Festival de Cannes occupies the Palais des Festivals for twelve days each May, drawing more than 35,000 film professionals and festival-goers to the screenings and the red carpet steps.
Travel
Lérins islands by boat
Boats from Quai Laubeuf reach Sainte-Marguerite in about fifteen minutes and Saint-Honorat in twenty, where the monks of Lérins Abbey still tend eight hectares of vines.
Dining
Forville market mornings
The Forville market at the foot of Le Suquet sells produce from local growers and fish from local boats every morning except Monday, and daily in July and August.
Real estate
MIPIM in March
Each March MIPIM turns the Palais des Festivals into the meeting point of the international property industry, with developers, investors and city delegations in town for the week.
The network
The network in Cannes.
Who the city draws
Film producers and distributors in May, agency and brand people in June and yacht builders and owners in September rarely overlap, which gives each month its own crowd.
Cannes is one of the network's cities. Members can make it their home city or add a trip here, and see who is in the city and who is arriving, as each member has chosen to share it.
Nothing about people is public. This page shows the city, never who is in it.
FJS Concierge
Need something arranged?
Whatever brings you to Cannes, France, FJS Concierge takes the request: The film festival, Lérins islands by boat, Forville market mornings, MIPIM in March, or simply the journey and the stay. It opens with the city already named.
