ICSC present the 10th edition of the exclusive global retail real estate event.
The International Council of Shopping Centers prepared the 10th edition of the unique global retail real estate event for the shopping center industry: owners, developers, retailers, and agents. ICSC RECon Europe, previously recognized as ICSC Retail Connections, is now part of the world’s greatest retail real estate convention, ICSC RECon.
The exhibition takes place on 22 March in London and collects major European retail property owners and developers, representing 40 million sq. m. of retail space across more than 1,300 shopping centers in 39 countries.
The world is changing more quickly than ever, and the rate of transformation is accelerating. There are bigger, extra unpredictable changes ahead. Who can modify can turn into great possibilities, with a growth rate up to 28 times as fast as competitors. Cate Trotter will take the scene at RECon Europe’s trends theater to perform key techniques on how to change and put growth on an entirely new trajectory. She will share the latest trends affecting the retail real estate industry and provide insight on how to make a business future-proof.
Cate is the Head and Founder of Trends at Insider Trends, a leading London-based retail futures company. Cate’s experience of starting up two thriving businesses in her twenties led to her being named a Future 100 and Startup 100 businessperson in 2009.
RECon Europe highlights the Retail Safari, an action-packed program to explore the latest and most innovative retail concepts in the world. Participating stores will exhibit the future of retail coming to life. The safari is scheduled on Thursday, 23 March and introduces a range of new strategies that are increasing profits both offline and online, examples of stores integrating omnichannel technology cleverly and the low-tech ideas helping brands get ahead of their competitors.
ICSC organizes RECon meetings in North America, Latin America, Asia- Pacific, Middle East & North Africa, and Europe is reaching over 40,000 professionals and giving networking, deal-making and educational possibilities for retail real estate professionals from around the world.
