The MAPIC trade show (The International Market for Retail Real Estate and Distribution) is the world’s leading event for building the shopping destinations and living spaces of tomorrow. Scheduled for November 3 and 4, 2026 at the famous Palais des Festivals in Cannes, this major international gathering brings together real estate developers, investors, city officials, and development directors from the world’s leading retail, restaurant, and leisure brands.
To market your space and unveil your future architectural projects to the elite of the global retail industry, R2 Stand designs and builds your exhibition booth or custom-made booth. We create environments of absolute refinement that are immersive and highly functional for business.
Entrust your brand image to an exhibition design agency with expertise in corporate events, luxury, and real estate.
MAPIC is a major event where the design of your booth must reflect the quality and appeal of the shopping centers or retail parks you develop. The layout of your booth should serve as a true showcase of your real estate expertise, immediately inspiring confidence and a sense of dynamism.
Meet investors, retail professionals, and city officials who are shaping the future of downtown areas and commercial districts.
With thousands of high-level participants, MAPIC is the premier hub for financing and leasing your real estate assets.
A booth designed by R2 Stand, featuring majestic architecture and impeccable finishes, guarantees you high-profile visibility.
It’s the essential strategic tool for attracting decision-makers seeking new premium locations for their retail networks.
Whether you’re representing a major city showcasing its urban renewal project or an international real estate firm, your booth must embody the innovation of your concepts.
R2 Stand showcases your projects with custom-made booths for your physical models, giant LED screens for your architectural renderings, and expert lighting to highlight every detail of your site plans.
MAPIC isn’t just a real estate trade show—it’s the epicenter of consumer trends.
Your booth should be designed as a true living space. We create luxurious reception areas, lounge spaces for networking, and seamless visitor pathways that showcase the customer experience you’ll offer in your future centers.
We have a deep understanding of the retail trends of the future and the logistical challenges inherent in high-profile events in Cannes.
Free yourself from operational constraints so you can focus exclusively on marketing your square meters and public relations.
Managing the shipping of your massive display models under glass, coordinating luxury catering services for your receptions, and organizing your “leasing managers’” schedules require your full attention.
R2 Stand handles every aspect of event production. From the initial 3D modeling to the final installation of designer furniture at your booth, we are your exclusive project manager.
Our extensive experience with major real estate and retail events ensures execution of the highest reliability.
Accustomed to collaborating on related premium trade shows (MIPIM, SIMI, Siec), we are well-versed in the exacting quality standards of Cannes’ business clientele.
This expertise allows us to advise you on the best design options to showcase your commercial assets and reassure your investors.
Your real estate project is one of a kind; your exhibition space must be just as unique to make a lasting impression on industry leaders.
We categorically reject run-of-the-mill booths.
Each project is conceived from start to finish by our interior designers to create an exclusive, elegant showcase that perfectly aligns with the narrative of your new neighborhood or real estate company, setting you apart from the competition.
A single point of contact to coordinate every step, from the approval of 3D plans to dismantling on the French Riviera.
Our comprehensive support brings together design, fine woodworking, luxury furniture rental, and floral decoration.
Your project manager meticulously coordinates the technical teams and ensures, on-site in Cannes, that every detail is absolutely perfect.
Our smart, reusable designs allow you to combine a return on investment with environmental responsibility.
By choosing R2 Stand, you’re choosing a partner committed to the eco-design approach required by the real estate industry.
Our high-end booths can be dismantled, carefully stored, and reused for your participation in other trade shows (such as MIPIM in March), thereby optimizing your annual marketing budgets.
Discover our designs for international developers, shopping center managers, regional economic development agencies, and indoor recreation providers. Designs crafted to inspire confidence and speed up the signing of leases.
Join the developers, investors, and real estate professionals who rely on our high-end event planning expertise.

We design ultra-durable display stands that blend seamlessly into the booth’s architecture.
These stands are precisely engineered to showcase your models under large safety-glass display cases, topped with overhead spotlights to highlight the models’ dimensions and facilitate your project managers’ explanations.
Cannes’ climate is a major asset for hosting memorable outdoor events and attracting retailers.
Certain locations at MAPIC (the Riviera areas or the vicinity of the Palais) allow for the creation of terraces. We set up elegant outdoor spaces there featuring teak flooring, designer outdoor furniture, green privacy screens, and soft background music for your after-work events and cocktail parties overlooking the sea.
We create fully partitioned “leasing” spaces.
These VIP meeting rooms are equipped with heavy acoustic doors, soundproof partitions, and, in some cases, glass that becomes opaque at the touch of a button (Smart Glass), ensuring absolute confidentiality for your negotiations with major fashion and restaurant brands.
The next edition of MAPIC will be held on Tuesday, November 3, and Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes.
Since this trade show demands exceptional build quality and hotel reservations and logistical arrangements in Cannes are in high demand, we strongly recommend that you begin designing your booth 6 to 8 months in advance!
The ecological transition, environmental certifications for buildings, and the renaturation of commercial areas are the cornerstones of modern real estate companies. It is unthinkable to promote these sustainable destinations using a temporary booth that is extremely polluting. R2 Stand is committed to working alongside you with a certified eco-design approach: structures made from sustainably managed wood, recyclable coverings and carpeting, rental partitions, eco-friendly paints, and 100% energy-efficient LED lighting.
