Reinventing Retail and Mixed-Use: Surviving, Thriving, and Positioning for the Future
February 4-5, 2009
The Beverly Hilton
Beverly Hills, California
Uncertain and unsettling times call for the sharing of experiences, insights, and strategies to survive. But these times also offer unprecedented opportunity for those who position themselves for the future. This year’s conference will focus on issues confronting the development community today, what it takes to survive and thrive, and what the future of retail development will look like in light of emerging trends. The conference will provide you an unparalleled opportunity to discuss with experts and peers your own strategic challenges as you make the transition to this brave new world. Where do the best new opportunities lie for your business or community given today’s market realities, and how can you exploit them going forward? Where will financing come from, and what types of projects are getting financing now? How can you harness the greening of retail to improve your competitive position? Where are the most innovative new projects, locations, configurations, and mixes of uses, and how are they making it work in a difficult market? And who are the hot tenants that are looking for new markets in which to expand, even today? This conference will help you survive and thrive by focusing not only on what can work today, but, more important, on what will work better tomorrow.
