2. Outlet Retailing's Next Steps
Las Vegas Convention Center Room N255
All retail must evolve to survive, even the sectors that do well in recessions. The question for the future of outlet retailing isn't the old debate of whether manufacturers and vertical retailers should open outlet chains, but rather how should the industry prepare for changes in consumer behavior, the global economy and access to information? What will be the role of outlet chains and outlet centers in 10 years? How will the outlet channel of distribution fit into the overall retail picture? Can outlets continue to provide flexibility for manufacturers? Accessibility to information has rapidly increased consumers' retail intelligence, so how will outlets adapt to the changing consumer? Finally, how can the outlet industry assure its place in the forefront of tomorrow's retail culture? This panel of global outlet executives explores the various paths that outlet retailing must study in order to stay fresh and exciting in the consumer's eyes.

No longer is real estate stated as a location, location, location decision. Real estate decisions are made today based on location, timing and demographics. Using technologies is a must for better decisions and success. This session will present the technology services many real estate professionals are using to make better informed decisions. Whether you invest, develop, or lease real estate, you need the information being shared in this session which is impacting billions of dollars in real estate decisions.

General Session:
The New Consumer Reality: The Business Implications of Cultural Trends
Everyone agrees that consumers are now looking for "value." But value means more than low prices. What does it imply for shopping environments? Do consumers want to spend money in the same places they want to spend time? What value can physical shopping centers offer that online shopping can't? How can intangibles--glamour, excitement, escapism--add value to the shopping experience? How can you give consumers permission to spend?

Virginia Postrel’s work focuses on aesthetics and her most recent publication The Substance of Style: How the Rise of Aesthetic Value is Remaking Commerce, Culture and Consciousness, explores how the look and feel of things has become the new- and required- ingredient in creating economic value and how to turn the trend toward aesthetics to competitive advantage.

6. Future Image Architecture Awards - Thinking Outside the Box
Las Vegas Convention Center Rooms S226 - S227
The ICSC Future Image Architecture Competition this year invites participants around the world to contemplate the big box and its impact on economies, and asks contestants to imagine innovative new uses for some of these facilities which today may be underused. The subject matter of the competition this year is reimagining, repurposing and repositioning the Big Box Building. The goal is to inspire and entertain industry professionals with out-of-the-box ideas to enhance our understanding of the shopping experience. Ideas are not limited to design and architecture; they may include any aspect - specific or general - of the retail continuum.

Come hear the judges speak about the entries and present the awards in the following areas: The Mall Environment; The Shopping Experience; Dining and Entertainment; Parking and Transit; Green; and General Brilliance and Innovation.
