Forget Sarkozy versus Royal, forget Brown versus Miliband, forget even Barclays versus RBS/Santander/Fortis. There is only one current standoff that matters: Cannes versus Paris.

Yes indeed, the unthinkable has actually happened and the curtain will finally fall on the annual gathering of the structured finance community in Barcelona after this year. After having hosted the conference for a decade (bar one year), the Hotel Arts on Barcelona’s beachfront will bid farewell to the event with a tear in its eye. A victim of its own success, the Global ABS meeting has simply outgrown the venue, with between 4,000 and 6,000 registered and unregistered attendees cramming its corridors and bars each year.
