RLI is delighted to announce its partnership with the British Retail Consortium for the inaugural BRC International Retailing Conference 2012 on the 14th June. To be held in association with Retail & Leisure International (the world's only global retail & Leisure magazine) the event, which will be attended by 150+ retail directors, will bring together industry leaders for a day to discuss the complexities and opportunities of international development facing the sector.
Presentations and discussions throughout the day will deliver key insights into potential growth markets, local economies and strategies for operating UK retailers’ business internationally.
The Conference will culminate with an evening of entertainment and global recognition at the prestigious Global RLI Awards, to be held once again at the Natural History Museum, London.
What is International Retailing 2012?
As the UK economy remains challenged, effective international expansion strategies are increasingly seen as a source of new growth for retailers and are subsequently moving to the top of their priority agendas.
International Retailing 2012 is a brand new, one day conference designed to provide discussions around both the opportunities and complexities of internationalisation and key insights into potential growth markets, local economies and strategies for operating UK retailers’ business internationally.
Key topics will include:
• Are international expansion strategies a realistic way to buoy a dwindling UK business?
• Key insights into potential growth markets•
• Evaluating the best model to fit your business to maximise your growth potential
• Creating a comprehensive business plan that stipulates time frames and expectations
• Understanding the financial and legislative implications of trading overseas
The 2012 Speaker Faculty Includes:
Those invited to join our speaker faculty are the international and global directors from major retail brands including Tesco, Harvey Nicholls, Esprit, Hamleys, ASOS, TM Lewin, Disney Store, Kingfisher, Mothercare and Ikea.

RECon Asia Shanghai and ICSC World Summit 2012
I have just booked my flights to Shanghai for ICSC RECon Asia and the 2012 ICSC World Summit, 12-14 September, International Convention Center, Shanghai. ICSC have announced that its 2012 event will focus on the social and economic role of shopping centres when it meets. The ICSC said Shanghai was selected as the venue for the event, which is held every five years, because of 'its significant influence in commerce, culture, finance, media fashion, technology and transport.'
The event, expected to draw delegates from 40 countries, will feature a conference, a full day of deal-making, an exhibition showcasing some of the industry's leading players and a shopping centre tour.
For more information on the event www.icsc.org
