The Deal is Just the Beginning: An Exchange on Retail and Entertainment Partnership

The deal may open the door, but successful retail entertainment destinations are built through strong partnerships, shared goals, and ongoing collaboration.

Co-organized as a partnership with MAPIC, the global hub for retail property players this interactive roundtable exchange brings together landlords, developers, experts, and operators to explore what it really takes to create thriving entertainment destinations within retail and mixed-use environments.

Rather than listening to presentations, attendees will join facilitated discussions by sharing experiences, discussing challenges, and exchanging practical ideas. Together, they will explore the realities behind successful partnerships, from commercial expectations and operational considerations to emerging concepts, expansion strategies, and future investment opportunities.

This session is designed to encourage open dialogue and meaningful networking. Whether you are an operator evaluating new locations, a landlord seeking innovative attractions, or a developer shaping future destinations, you'll gain valuable insights from those actively working at the intersection of retail and entertainment.
