Why the ICSC Conference is a Must-Attend for Real Estate and Development Professionals 

When it comes to staying ahead in the ever-evolving world of commercial real estate and retail development, few events match the scope, insight, and networking power of the ICSC Conference. Held annually and attended by thousands of industry professionals, this premier event brings together dealmakers, developers, brokers, city officials, and service providers to shape the future of retail and mixed-use development across the country.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor, a city planner, or in the early stages of launching a new commercial project, the ICSC conference is where critical conversations happen and real progress begins.

  • Deal Flow Acceleration – With numerous stakeholders in attendance, conversations that might take months to arrange can occur in minutes. The connections made here often lead directly to groundbreaking projects.
  • City and Developer Collaboration – Municipalities come to ICSC to attract responsible development. Developers and land use experts come looking for the right markets and the right team to bring their vision to life.
