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.
