What People Are Saying

  • u201cThe 20/20 Real Estate Summit is truly one of those rare opportunities where you get together a large number of leaders in the industry and engage together in whatu2019s happening now and next for our brands. The time spent is fast-paced, insightful, and allows one to engage at a deeper level with the brand presenters. The consistent dialogue, last year, around the use of technology in cross-merchandising between brick and mortar and digital along with innovations in customer engagement through these channels was of key importance. It is where our minds need to be right now and I look forward to another engaging event this year. Thank you.u201d
