CUTTING EDGE CONTENT. STRATEGIC SOURCING. UNFORGETTABLE NETWORKING.
The Right Content
RetailSpaces features a proper balance of TED-inspired talks and peer-to-peer discussions on the topics and issues that are top of mind for store development leaders today. No lengthy presentations or panels.
Identify Strategic Partners
The days of wandering through an expo hall are over! We bring together the industry’s most innovative suppliers and service providers and you are able to schedule one-on-one time with only the ones that suit the needs of your business.
Memorable Networking
Wouldn’t it be fun to travel to Scottsdale and sit in a conference center all day? Yeah, didn’t think so! Kart Racing, an Old Town Pub Crawl and a Neon Party with surprise musical acts are just a few of the memorable events we have planned.
“Fun, educational, and great venue. Very worthwhile!”

How Incoming Store Technology Will Change Retail Forever
With online sales constantly on the rise, there are those who believe customers will eventually never want or need to visit a physical store again. Other prophecies involve invasive eye-scanners and endless in-your-face displays straight from the script of the Minority Report.
Envisioning the Mall of 2028
Reimagining future shopping centers brings to mind artificial intelligence, delivery drones, mindfulness and reading rooms. RetailSpaces asked futurist Brian Solis and retail industry experts Lee Peterson (WD Partners) and Alasdair Lennox (FITCH) what the mall of 2028 might look like.
The Rise of Net-Zero Retail Stores
La Maison Simons' net-zero energy department store in Quebec marked some serious milestones for the company, and the retail industry at large. Two months after opening Simon's Director of Store Development, Angela Stinson, thinks the store can snare further achievements still.

@ Hotel Valley Ho – Scottsdale, AZ
This year we are taking over the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale and transforming it into the influence hotel. A luxury, hip and vibrant boutique chic urban resort. Steps away from downtown Scottsdale. Named “one of the best-preserved mid-century hotels in the country” by author and architect Alan Hess, Hotel Valley Ho is the place where your cool comes out to play.
“The quality of the speakers, attendees and vendors was fantastic. One of the best conferences I’ve been to. Educational, inspirational and fun!”
