MAPIC 2020 conference programme

Learn, share and connect with what is transforming the retail real estate business

In 2020, MAPIC became a 100% digital event aiming to bring international retailers and all the industry stakeholders together. In the COVID-19 era and beyond our industry needs to collaborate, define new partnerships, operating models and reinvent the retail and lifestyle destinations. In that frame, we completely reshaped our conference programme which became 100% online, accessible on MAPIC Digital. We selected for you the most accurate topics and the most relevant international speakers & experts.

Embracing collaborative retail

“With the Covid-19 pandemic and the huge difficulties the retail and leisure industries are facing and will face, the world of retail will rely more on collaboration: on sharing data, new leasing models, with humanity at the heart of the business." MAPIC Event director Nathalie Depetro

Right now the retail market is facing a day-to-day challenge, from how to look after staff to how to pay rent, keeping each business viable, working with the supply chain, so that the industry can come through this crisis together and rebuild. This will require Embracing Collaborative Retail to focus on new business models for retail, mixing uses, compelling cities, refurbishment and extensions, sustainability and the innovation that underpins all of these.
