13th November
I arrived in Cannes early afternoon and checked in
at the Carlton Hotel before enjoying a leisurely lunch with Chris Lord.
We were all set for MAPIC, the magazines once again
had pride of place in all the Delegate bags, Principal hotels and Business
lounge at the Palais Des Festivals...so all that was left was to have a
productive 3 days of meetings.
Each year, MAPIC kicks off in style with a
high-profile cocktail party, giving all Delegates the chance to engage with key
industry players in a lively social setting. This year was no exception
held at the Majestic Hotel, the opening cocktail, sponsored by Russian
Developer Tashir, was a huge
success. The Russian country of honour logo was all aglow on the
facade of the building, emphasising their important presence here
this year. Their was much buzz about the Diamond Party hosted by
Tashir, as they distributed glasses of champagne with a ‘sparkling diamond’
inside. Participants then hurried to diamond experts to verify the authenticity
of the sparkling gem. There were 8 lucky winners who walked away with the real
deal!
Sadly I wasnt one of the lucky ones...but hey I had the next 3 days to look forward to!
