RETAIL CONGRESS MENA 2019

“It’s a good networking event, you will get to know what other retailers are doing in the market, it’s a good chance to see what other shopping centres are evolving and developing. So it’s a good information sector to know what going on in the region.”

“One of the biggest benefits of coming to this event is that we network with the industry professionals with all kinds of walks of life. You meet people from the industry, who are suppliers and vendors in the industry. RECon is where you get together, where you connect, you network, you learn from the conversation from each other, you learn the projects that are going on in the industry.”

“RECon has been important for us over the years. The networking is invaluable, and what we get from the networking from people here is very important for us as well as the conference room sessions that we get a lot of information from all over the word. We think bringing experts from the market from all over the world from retail sector category and shopping mall category only contributed positively over the year. We are also excited this year to see that there was a deal-making session being set-up, this has only completed our RECon experience.”

"Being involved in the Middle East Council of Shopping Centres has been a stepping stone in my career because ever since the first time I attended the RECon in 2012, I really understood the dynamics and the involvement of the association in the Middle East and how important it is to the health of the retail industry across the region."
