What to Watch for at RECon 2012 <br />More ways to build your network <br />Cities of the World Pavilion <br />New for 2012, the Cities of the World <br />Pavilion is a turn -key solution for cities <br />and municipalities who want to have <br />a leasing exhibit that is more cost - <br />effective than designing and building <br />their own booth. The Cities of the <br />World Pavilion will feature 100 exhibit <br />spaces under a unified branded Pavilion <br />as part of the Leasing Mall that is exclu- <br />sively for use by cities, municipalities, <br />economic development agencies and <br />non - profit development authorities. <br />Cities of the World Showcase <br />Located in the Grand Lobby, the Cities <br />of the World Showcase will highlight <br />development opportunities and cities <br />around the globe through graphic <br />renderings and literature. The display <br />will provide attendees with valuable <br />insights into current and prospective <br />projects at a myriad of destinations <br />throughout the world. The Cities of the <br />World Showcase provides cities and <br />municipalities the ability to drive traffic <br />to their booths in the Leasing Mall or <br />Cities of the World Pavilion, or just have <br />a presence at RECon. <br />Canadian Pavilion <br />Introduced in 2011, the Canadian <br />Pavilion was a major destination for <br />attendees who were looking to conduct <br />business in Canada. Many of Canada's <br />leading developers and retailers met at <br />the Pavilion to discuss business oppor- <br />tunities. New for 2012, the Canadian <br />Pavilion will feature private meeting <br />rooms that can be rented by retailers <br />and developers in half -day increments. <br />Finance Pavilion <br />The Finance Pavilion is one convenient <br />stop for attendees to meet with finan- <br />cial companies, banks and lenders to <br />discuss incentives and financing oppor- <br />tunities that will make their develop- <br />ment dreams come true. In 2011, over <br />a dozen of the world's largest financial <br />institutions utilized the Finance Pavilion <br />to discuss financing opportunities. <br />Design Trends Exhibit <br />Today's dreams and tomorrow's reali- <br />ties are featured at the Design Trends <br />Exhibit, as shopping center owners, <br />developers, architects and designers <br />display their vision and latest concepts. <br />Prominently located in high- traffic areas <br />throughout the Convention Center, a <br />Design Trends Exhibit is an ideal way to <br />expand your presence and drive traffic <br />to your Leasing Mall exhibit. <br />ICSC Foundation Gala <br />Join your peers for a night of cocktails, <br />dinner and entertainment, all to support <br />a great cause.
