Drivers Jonas won’t be going to MIPIM next March. There will be no drinks and nibbles at the well-branded DJ Café Pavilion on the Croisette. Why not: because DJ is being sued for several hundred thousand Euros for “parasitical behaviour” by Reed Midem, the organisers of the annual jamboree.

The story is told in today’s Evening Standard column. Habitués of the Cannes show will understand the arguments behind the case. Reed Midem are fed up with firms setting up their own fringe events at the show, without buying either a ticket or stand space at the main event. DJ (and plenty of others) reckon France is a free country and they have a perfect right, both morally and legally, to do as they wish.

The case against DJ in France is being defended to the last ditch by Herbert Smith’s finest. That will take a long while. Meanwhile what will be the reaction of the fellow members of the Windsor Group of top agents chaired by Nick Shepherd, managing partner of Drivers Jonas? Will there be a show of “one-out-all-out” solidarity?

Unlikely: even though a win in the French courts would allow all the other members to do what most of them want to do – thumb their nose at Reed Midem and set up for free on the fringe. Reed Midem must think that risk is worth taking “pour encourager les autres” to pay up. But the French risk watching a British celebration on the Croisette if they lose.

I’ve been reading survey findings (PDF) from Remit Consulting following the recent MIPIM property fair in Cannes. The findings don’t make good reading for people – like me – who hope that the construction and property sector will be quick to embrace social media. The survey done with Estates Gazette was website-hosted – which may immediately have captured a sample of people pre-disposed to use websites and happy to answer online surveys – and attracted 113 responses in 48 hours (adding to the self-selecting unrepresentative sample, this is not enough to be able to draw statistically significant conclusions). Its findings included:

• The Estates Gazette website was the most popular source at 50% followed by the magazine at 43%
• Blogs were the most popular “new” source at 23% with RSS (18%) just edging Twitter (15%)
• Blogs (98% recognition) were better understood than RSS (80%) or Twitter (89%)
• Nearly 80% used blogs “regularly” or “sometimes”; this dropped to 58% for RSS feeds and 23% for Twitter
• Twitter attracts the biggest negative sentiment with 66% “never” using it despite 90% recognition
• Twitter also attracted the only “null” responses

Remit admits the property industry tends to be “very traditional”, even pointing out that:

“As recently as ten years ago, we were being told that the use of websites for information was a step too far for a group of people that preferred instead to open their weekly copy of the Estates Gazette and browse through the pictures.”

Remit looked at EG’s use of Twitter and found only “Out of the 240 or so messages twittered by EG at MIPIM… we found just five containing useful information and those were simply puffing future events”, quoting users who suggested Twitter is “of no use professionally” and has “no real role”. Remit’s final take was that:

“in another ten years time we may well see blogs being the information source of choice in the industry although on this showing it looks like twittering will be for the birds.”

Sorry Remit, but blogs are already a widely used information source for many industry professionals, and the implied criticism of Twitter is wrong too.

With Twitter, you post your own updates (sometimes in response to other people’s) and you read the updates of people that you have chosen to follow. Maybe the EG people were more intent on reflecting things they saw and heard, perhaps they were providing live updates on events as they unfolded. After all, it’s about people having conversations online – not necessarily about people tweeting useful information with every update (though some corporate Twitter accounts are certainly useful for that too). I really enjoyed the MIPIM Tweets from friends Ross Sturley and Vaughan Burnand, for example – lots of insights, not always factual, and sometimes humorous with it.

I could rant on, but Steve Lawson’s recent post sums up how misguided such Twitter criticism is (read the whole of his excellent post -Twitter sucks, so change your friends – to get the full flavour):

Commenting on Twitter without having used it for at least a month is like dismissing German as a ’shit language’ after trying it for a 24 hours.

(PS: Demonstrating the value of Twitter,  I first learned about the Remit report via a Tweet from Liz Male – just shows: it’s who you choose to follow that counts!)

Well, MIPIM’s over for another year.

As most of the delegates were battling for a taxi to Nice airport on Friday, the stand team and I were there bright and early for the final (albeit quieter) day of the festival.

The MIPIM Awards on Thursday night may well have been the official closing event, but it was the Ear to the Ground ‘Hang the DJ’ party that was the hottest ticket in town…

Word had obviously spread from the success of last year and it seemed that half of Cannes was trying to get in. All of the DJ’s did a great job, but Andrew Stokes’ ‘old skool’ selections, Barbara Spicer’s balance of Salford, Manchester and Liverpool bands and Wayne Mellor’s light-hearted pop collection really got the crowd going.

So, as we pack away our iManc t-shirts for another year, I can look back at a job well done. The stand team might not negotiate the million pound deals, but we’re there every year with you and it’s nice to see the partnership doing well in these difficult times.

See you in 2010!

Jade Bedingfield

Stand Manager, The Manchester at MIPIM Partnership

Dawn of the last major day of MIPIM activity, and we finally got our hands on the FT supplement.  As Dan Thomas outlined yesterday, it paints a positive picture for Manchester. Of course there are challenges, but we continue to punch above our weight, and this will stand us in good stead.

Roel Spee, a location expert from IBM, echoed this view at the MIDAS led Property Week breakfast, outlining why Manchester is perfectly positioned for continued investment. It is in part because of the falling pound, but more positively because of the quality of our offer in comparison with other European cities.

This morning’s stand presentation focused on partnerships, and the importance of ensuring that their primary objectives are related to corporate priorities. They need to be about improving competitiveness, making the fullest contribution to place shaping – particularly where public realm is concerned – and delivering real local benefit.

The importance of high quality design remains a priority and we cannot compromise. Just some examples of what has been delivered in Manchester through partnership include Spinningfields, Piccadilly Place, Central Park, New York Street and Cathedral Street. Uniquely, these developments have frequently put Manchester first – ranking the importance of achieving the city’s long-term vision above more localised, short-term goals.

Partnership is so important to us not only because it will give us the city we deserve, as Peter Saville declared yesterday, but deliver what the people that live and work in Manchester demand. Together, we must communicate to Government that Manchester is a major part of the national growth and recovery plan, and should be recognised and resourced as such.

Chris Oglesby went on to outline how MIPIM itself is a prime example of how we derive benefit and success from partnership activity. This show of public, private partnership strength, to both our customers and competitors, is as important as ever.

This is not about short term goals, but long term vision. Chris said that he finds working in Manchester liberating, both in the strength of its public sector leadership, and in the way that the private sector works together, putting the needs of the city above their own competition.

However, I agree with him that if AGMA is going to be the governance body for the city-region, it must be united in its ambition. We can’t afford to loose another opportunity like TIF. It is incumbent upon all of us and we must resist the urge to put up barriers and continue to be fully engaged. We must think positively. We must continue to support major cultural initiatives such as the International Festival. And we must make plans now for next year’s MIPIM.

As highlighted by today’s Guardian article ‘Forget the banks, we need fast broadband’, there is a general awareness that if they are going to compete in the modern world, city’s need a digital communications infrastructure to suit. In 2009, this means making plans for ‘next generation access’: an infrastructure that can support very high speed, high quality broadband and keep pace with accelerating demand over the next years.

Our final official presentation this afternoon focused on New East Manchester. Eddie Smith spoke of the plans to bring next generation broadband directly to the doors of East Manchester’s businesses and residents. As a city we are uniquely placed in being able to deliver such a project, and it is increasingly clear that its implementation will bring major benefit. The Sharp project is an excellent example of the innovation that such investment will drive – creating a 24/7 global facility that will allow red vision and others to work on a ‘follow-the-sun’ basis.

Finally, as the sun began to set, I was able to take the opportunity to share the news on the Arts Council review of the potential for Manchester to become a second base for the Royal Opera House.   The opportunity to deliver the most significant artistic development in this country for a generation and to transform the artistic life of the North West was a great note to end on. Confirmed just hours earlier, there is now genuine recognition that this project would transform the cultural proposition for opera and ballet across the North and provide an unprecedented training and skills stage for many of our talented musicians and dancers. Our work can now begin in earnest.

This year’s MIPIM, as you can tell from previous blogs, has been more real, more professional and more beneficial than ever. Times are challenging but I genuinely sense, despite the tough conditions that partners recognise the benefit of this event and I would like to reiterate my thanks to all who have supported the Manchester partnership. Thanks to the presenters who made the topics seriously interesting and informative. 

Now, it’s time to have a drink and keep an eye on the football scores…

Chief Executive, Manchester City Council

Si apre oggi a Cannes il Mipim, il principale salone internazionale della proprietà immobiliare, che proseguirà fino al 13 marzo. La novità di questo anno è la partecipazione del Ministero della Difesa italiano, presente per garantirsi l’attenzione dei possibili acquirenti che in un futuro non remoto potrebbero essere interessati a speculazioni sul patrimonio militare italiano. Questo futuro è legato ai tempi di approvazione in Parlamento del ddl 1373 di istituzione della Difesa Servizi S.p.A., forse la più grande operazione di privatizzazione e svendita mai tentata nel Paese.
“La costituzione della Difesa Servizi S.p.A consentirebbe di scavalcare tutti gli impedimenti frapposti dalla normativa vigente e, cosa più importante, uscire fuori dal controllo democratico del Parlamento”, sottolinea Massimo Solferino della RdB-CUB Difesa “Il principale obiettivo di questa società è quello di far cassa utilizzando il patrimonio collettivo, espropriando così cittadini della possibilità di una riconversione al sociale di queste risorse, con ricadute benefiche sull’intera collettività”.
“Ma la Difesa Servizi S.p.A. non si occuperà solo della svendita del patrimonio del demanio militare. Infatti – aggiunge Solferino – tra le funzioni ad essa attribuite figurano anche l’utilizzo, in proprio o con gestioni miste pubblico-privato, di aree demaniali per settori strategici quali lo smaltimento rifiuti e l’approvvigionamento energetico. Ci troveremo dunque di fronte al cambiamento della destinazione d’uso di immense aree, sottoposte oggi a vincoli militari, in cui sarà possibile costruire discariche, impianti per la produzione di combustibile da rifiuti (CdR), inceneritori e, potenzialmente, anche centrali nucleari. Il tutto senza dover dar conto a Comuni, Province, Regioni o al Parlamento ma rispondendo solo al suo unico azionista: il Ministro della Difesa”.
Prosegue il rappresentante RdB: “Il personale civile e parte di quello militare verrà assorbito, privatizzato e utilizzato a supporto di tutte queste operazioni, venendo spogliato di tutte le prerogative di pubblico dipendente al servizio dello Stato. Per tutte queste ragioni la RdB-CUB P.I. contrasterà questo progetto scellerato e fa appello a tutti i cittadini, gli amministratori, le forze sociali e parlamentari affinché vi si oppongano in tutte le sedi opportune”, conclude Solferino.

Welcome to the Manchester At MIPIM Blog. We’ll update you on the news and events direct from the Manchester partnership at MIPIM.

I have blogged before about Nottingham City Council’s expenditure on a 200ft luxury yacht at an international event in Cannes and a party for over 300 guests. Finally the wider press have caught on. Nottingham was featured in an article in the Sunday Times yesterday about junkets at the taxpayers expense.

Today the Nottingham Evening Post has published an article about this expenditure. Although “council officers stressed last year that the entertainment had been paid for by sponsors”, the Evening Post reveals that

“In 2008, total council expenditure (on attending this event) was £74,000, with sponsorship contributing a further £85,000.”

In March 2009, Nottingham City Council will once again be spending your taxes at MIPIM, an international real estate event in Cannes. They are again hiring a yacht where the events they will be running include dinners and cocktail parties. A party fo over 300 people called The Nottingham Club will be rerun.

Unlike Nottingham Evening Post, the Derby local papers have featured articles about Derby City Council attending this show in Cannes. Below is a link to a letter defending Derby City Council’s attendance.

Nottingham City Council are planning to spend even more money at Cannes this year.

“For MIPIM 2009 we plan to have an even stronger presence, by increasing the number of Team Nottingham sponsorship opportunities and with even more events.”

By the way the yacht hired last year for 4 days cost £14,000 in 2006.

Le traitement médiatique est injuste, il est préférable de parler des trains qui arrivent en retard que de ceux qui arrivent à l’heure. Donc dès qu’un « faits divers ou de société » peut être relaté nous voyons une foison de blogs, de re-dit blogs (pas de contenu mais des reprises et du liens sponsorisé partout), médias web se contenter du pire. Dès lors l’étiquette monde virtuel ou Second Life n’inspire pas grand monde quand les projets sont un peu plus conséquents et valent d’en parler. C’est le cas des Transmusicales de rennes qui sous l’impulsion d’acteurs motivés  ont offert la deuxième édition de cet évènement dans et avec Second Life comme support. La mix réalité (concert réel / concert virtuel) se pratique depuis quelques temps dans Second Life mais les gros organisateurs de concerts ou boites d’événementiel n’en ont pas encore pris la mesure. On dira Bravo à ceux qui ont porté le projet, ceux qui ont participé à sa réalisation et aussi aux organisateurs des transmusicales qui se foutent du buzz et donne le bon ton tout comme en 1992 avec un plateau techno (mal vue à l’époque mais ils avaient eu raison J).

Dans un autre genre, soulignons aussi l’installation réalisée par Orange dans le cadre du Grand Palais (tiens ça me rappelle Yves saint Laurent dans Second Life et à la FIAC l’année dernière). L’idée est vraiment intéressante :

« l’installation ‘Les Ames Volantes’, qui permet à tout utilisateur de Second Life de venir ‘exposer son avatar’ en direct sur les murs du Grand Palais. Ces visiteurs ‘virtuels’ connectés depuis les quatre coins de la planète inviteront le public, le temps d’une apparition, à s’interroger sur l’identité, la représentation et la notion de virtualité. »

Would you be happy for your taxes to be spent on a 100ft yacht moored in Cannes for 4 days? Or what about a party on a Cannes beach for 300 people? In March 2008 you paid for both of these things.

“11-14 March in Cannes on the French Riviera, Nottingham is ready to raise its profile amongst international investors and developers.

Nottingham has been allocated one of the prime moorings for its impressive yacht – ‘Powder Monkey’.. Nottingham plans on making the most of its prime location with a host of high profile events being planned onboard its 100ft Falcon yacht.

Nottingham’s delegation including Nottingham City Council, Nottingham Regeneration Limited and a number of private sector partners, will use the yacht as its base throughout its stay..

Nottingham’s ‘pièce de resistence’ will be its party on the beach for 300 guests on Tuesday 11th March. The must-see ‘Nottingham Club’ party will be held in a marquee on a section of the beach opposite the Carlton Hotel.

MIPIM (Marché International des Professionnels de l’Immobilier) is widely regarded as the world’s leading real estate event bringing together over 26,000 key industry decision-makers from around the world.

MIPIM will provide Nottingham companies with a platform on which to promote themselves internationally under the City banner.”
