MIPIM 2025: International collaboration potential…
preparation…
When preparing for MIPIM 2025, starting from shared values made things much easier for us. We united under the banner of the Turkish Architects Federation, guided by the leadership of Ali Osman Öztürk.. Teams seeking to develop international connections remained in constant communication despite their busy schedules.
Once the fair space was confirmed, we organized quickly and shaped our designs according to the possibilities of the venue. DOME + Partners contribution to the booth design and setup was also an important part of the process. We planned our schedules by contacting the representatives we wanted to meet in advance and made announcements on event platforms.
Turkish Architects Federation…
The fair both increased our international visibility and opened new doors for our collaborations. We continued our long-standing commitment to academic and professional international activities here as well.
Thanks to the prestigious projects we carried out with the teams we participated with, DS’s architectural and landscape projects came to the forefront. We are maintaining communication with the designers we met for the first time and evaluating their potential.
MIPIM 2025 opened the door to France for us.
As soon as the fair ended, we took the first steps for the 2026 preparations. We observed that this collective stance was positively received by visitors. The value that acting together brings us will increase even more in future organizations.
MIPIM 2025 | perspective…
We observed the potential of being active internationally firsthand. The fair served as a crucial platform for observing industry innovations and establishing direct contacts. In particular, the sustainable architecture and strong city projects showcased in the country pavilions were inspiring and offered a promising outlook for future collaborations.
We dedicated a large part of our time to one-on-one networking and booth visits. However, this years’ experience demonstrated that we need to incorporate the conference sessions into our schedule in future years.
the evolution and progress of MIPIM…
MIPIM 2025 was our first experience at this event. Compared to our impressions as visitors, the dynamics of being an exhibitor were much stronger in terms of both visibility and interaction. This increased the strategic value of MIPIM for us.
MIPIM 2026…
Preparations for 2026 have already begun. Our biggest takeaway is the need to start the process much earlier. We intend to use our time more efficiently and enrich the content of our international visit. Additionally, we aim to better optimize the planning of such events when they are being managed alongside ongoing office projects.
