The convention, the 9th in the series, is to be held in Dubai from tomorrow until October 9 and two Dubai Festival City executives feature among the impressive speaker line up.
Phil McArthur, Director of Leasing and Marketing at Dubai Festival City is to address delegates on 'Retail Refinement', an overview of retailing in the region, while Judy Neil, the project's General Manager Marketing, will outline 'The Shopping Centre As A Leisure Destination.'
Dubai Festival City, the Middle East's largest mixed-use real estate project, has varied retail components in its masterplan, including value for money retailers, hypermarkets, fashion anchors and boutiques, festival\waterfront retail and High Street-style shopping sitting alongside world class family entertainment outlets.
"Our support of MECSC underlines the commitment of Dubai Festival City to growing and transforming the retail experience in the region," said McArthur. "At the annual convention we hope to provide input into the industry's regional development process and come away with greater insights into what needs to be done and what can be done to further position the region as an international retail destination."
