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