The view from MIPIM

MIPIM is an enormous real estate exposition held annually in March in Cannes, along the French Riviera. I went for the fourth year in a row in March 2007, and was able to meet with cities, regions, and countries from across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. It's a fantastic way to learn about international investment opportunities.

It's not quite summer in Cannes during March, but it was reasonably warm, and the views are hard to beat. Check out this scrolling panorama from the balcony of one of the regional German pavilions (a recent version of the Apple Quicktime player is required):
