While media reports have recently been bearish on the retail sector, this wasn’t the case at this year’s Spring 2008 International Council of Shopping Centers' (ICSC) Global Retail Real Estate Convention (RECon). Over 150 Jones Lang LaSalle employees attended RECon in Las Vegas May 18 - 21 from across the globe (Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas). In addition to a strong presence from Retail, a variety of Jones Lang LaSalle’s other business lines attending as well, including LaSalle Investment Management, Retail Outsourcing Services, Capital Markets, Hotels, Corporate Solutions and Project Development Services.
"With nearly 50,000 attendees and 1,800 exhibitors participating, the convention offered endless networking, deal making and educational opportunities for Jones Lang LaSalle," said Greg Maloney, President and CEO, Jones Lang LaSalle Retail. "We were able to conduct approximately 2,000 meetings and around 100 key clients visited our booth over the four days. In addition, nearly 1,000 people attended our annual client networking event we hosted at MOON at The Palms. All in all, the convention was a huge success for us."
