NAI Global at ICSC RECon 2019
Once again NAI Global anchored a prominent spot on Q Street in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center for the annual RECon event hosted by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC).
L-R: France Media’s Ryan Nixon, Kristi Procopio, Jerry France , Simon Hartzell with NAI Global and France Media’s Nellie Day , shortly after Nellie interviewed Simon for a video clip on retail trends.
The four and a half-day show drew over 30,000 attendees and hundreds of exhibitor companies from every major real estate company in the U.S. and abroad. There were over 20 breakout sessions and panels starting on Sunday from crafting restaurant deals to last mile delivery, lease workouts, investing in retail properties and structured partnerships, negotiating tactics, talent development and much more. New for 2019, ICSC introduced features on designations, experiences and a look at the big picture with such keynote speakers as Julie Rice, a partner at WeWork that presented “How WeWork is Using Physical Space to Build Communities” at the Westgate Hotel’s main ballroom.
Networking and deal making, however, remained the core focus for most attendees. Here’s a look at some of the action at NAI Global’s booth on Q Street.
