Leisure meets Real Estate

MAPIC is the European platform that allows leisure operators to find profitable locations and real estate companies to increase the value of their assets through leisure.

What is LeisurUp?

LeisurUp is the only event in Europe where a leisure operator can secure its pipeline of locations by meeting directly with the owners of the best sites. We connect operators, designers and other leisure players with owners, investors and developers who are creating new commercial and entertainment destinations in Europe & internationally.

For Leisure Players, it is the perfect opportunity to meet with decision makers, present their concept, develop their network, turn their concepts into real locations or find the best emplacement and partners for their expansion plans.
