Nowhere else can you with people that will create life long friends, lifetime business partners and a stable of lifetime resources. The economy, political landscape, our changing demographics, the continued pressures of a changing ecosystem and the evolution of the vehicle for delivering goods to the consumer (what will be the most effective format for shopping centers) are all pressing issues affecting our industry and CenterBuild is the confluence for the discussions of all those issues. We have integrated sessions on sustainability and for the first time, focused on diversity and how our changing demographics will affect the retail landscape. As always our roundtables anchor our conference. A tremendous opportunity in an intimate setting to discuss very specific topics with professional experts and to create a new set of relationships. Our workshops focus on seeing and hearing about successful industry practices and processes. As part of our workshop program we are introducing a concept of 6 Ideas in 6o Minutes. This will be a unique workshop format that allows 6 presenters to discuss a new, cutting -edge, innovative ideas in a highly visual presentation. We have continued our Industry Focus Idea Exchange that concentrates on topics of importance to architects, contractors, developers, engineers, tenant coordinators, and retailers.
