The organisers of MIPIM have said they are still aiming to host the Cannes real estate showcase in June - despite Glastonbury 2021 having already been cancelled.
A spokesman for MIPIM - the world's largest event of its kind - said it will keep monitoring French Government guidelines and announcements.
Taking place in the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, the famous Riviera festival has not been able to go ahead since March 2019 due to the Covid pandemic.
2020's event was postponed to June before being cancelled later in the year due to the pandemic, with organisers aiming for a return in March 2021. That date was later put back to June this year.
With new variants of the virus continuing to emerge, there was disappointment last week when Glastonbury, which was set to take place from June 23, was the first summer music festival to be cancelled by its organisers.
When asked by BusinessLive whether MIPIM organisers were confident their festival could still go ahead between June 7 and 10, a spokesman said: “Our aim is to hold MIPIM in June 2021.
"We continue to monitor French government recommendations concerning the pandemic and will inform our clients of any changes in a timely manner.”
The event attracts in the region of 26,000 investors, developers, land owners, property agents, lawyers and planning consultants, to discuss multi-billion pound opportunities that can shape cities, resorts and regions in the years to come.
