MIPIM property conference 2019/2020

Joint report of the City Surveyor and the Director of the Built Environment. 

Minutes:

The Board received a joint report of the City Surveyor and the Director of the Built Environment regarding the City of London Corporation’s attendance at MIPIM 2020.

 

The Chair commented on the continued importance of the City of London’s Corporation presence at MIPM and suggested that the Board commit to supporting the attendance at the 2020 conference. It was commented by a Member of the Board that, while they supported the City’s attendance at the conference, there should be a more formalised process for tracking the successful outcomes from the event and suggested that an outcome report be produced to measure these outcomes. A Member replied that in their experience attending the event as the Chairman of the Planning and Transport Committee that officers present at the conference extensively documented the outcomes of meetings held at the conference.

 

Replying to a query from a Member of the Board the City Surveyor confirmed that the savings from last year’s budget were achieved by reductions in hotel and travel costs.

 

RESOLVED- That: -

  1. The report be noted; and
  2. That the Property Investment Board agreed approve that the City of London Corporation should attend MIPIM 2020 and contribute £21,750 toward with the total budget of £94,000.
