EXPO REAL: European Retail Investment Briefing 2018 | PropertyEU | 8 October 2018 | Messe München, Messegelände, Munich, 81823, Germany

The retail sector is evolving, adapting and fighting back. European retail rejects the doom and gloom comparisons with the US and is focusing on what works. In most European countries, economic growth and rising employment are improving consumer confidence and leading to more spending. What are the prospects for the year ahead? As online shopping becomes more popular across the continent, how are retailers reacting? How is the integration between physical stores and online outlets playing out? How is technology affecting and transforming the sector? Is increased tourism helping the high street in Europe's main cities? Which countries and which cities offer the best opportunities? As the best shopping centres turn themselves into leisure destinations to attract customers, what is happening to the secondary shopping centres?
