ABOUT THE EVENT
Innovative real estate landlords will explain how they are working with retailers to create unique experiences to attract and delight shoppers with short-term leases. How do they find and evaluate pop-uppers that fit their retail mix? How do they apportion marketing responsibilities for max impact? How do they make an impermanent pop-up look slick without breaking the bank? What legal and leasing conditions have to be considered? How are sales agents, used to chasing long-term deals, compensated? Join our Property & Development Committee on Tuesday 18th June for an informative discussion on Hong Kong's pop-up market and enjoy some light refreshments after the event.
