ICSC is in full swing at the Las Vegas Convention Center this week. This is the world’s largest gathering of retail real estate professionals. With 37,000 industry professionals and 1200 exhibitors, it promises to be an amazing week. Last year, the mood at the convention was largely positive despite the sensitivity to challenges facing the retail industry. We anticipate that technology, social media and e-commerce will continue to be on the top of the conversation list. The ICSC Innovative Exchange will surely give the audience some interesting hands-on access to what the Washington Post is calling “The future of retail.”  Stay tuned and we will report back next week on trends and all we learn this week.
