Leisure
Leisure is all about authentic experiences and interaction. The programme will reflect the growing popularity and diversification of the leisure sector. It will show how leisure is bringing human connection to the brand experience.
Food
The rapidly expanding restaurant industry plays a key role in customer experience, creating spaces and places where people can connect and both an industry which has embraced technology yet embodies the human touch.
Sustainability
Retailers, developers, investors and new players must all embed sustainability in their business growth plans. Next generation retail is about putting people and the planet first, employing innovation and technology to change the world.
Retail property assets
