1. TCN Worldwide’s New Booth Location
In The Middle Of The ICSC Action
TCN Worldwide’s new booth location, in the Central Hall, is in the middle of the
ICSC action. Now in all honesty, the “action” at this year’s event did not compare
to that of years past. By all estimates, attendance was down by about 50% but
gaining this prominent booth location is a major win for TCN Worldwide, our
member firms, and the agents who attend future RECon/ICSC Conventions.
Even with the slow economy and lower than expected attendance the annual
RECon/ICSC Convention in Las Vegas is still the largest deal driven event of the
year. The Retail Group, with support from TCN, has given us a proud presence
year after year and this year was no different!
Several attendees reported that this year they
were able to secure meetings with clients and
hard to reach prospects who were unable to
accommodate their request for a meeting in
years past. John Thompson of The Everest
Group stated that this was the best
RECon/ICSC event that he had ever attended,
noting that it was the first one where he actually closed a deal at the event. It seems that
while attendance was down, those who attended were there to do business, making the
most of every meeting.
We look forward to our participation at future RECon/ICSC Conventions and the
opportunities that this new booth location will afford TCN Worldwide and our
members in the years to come. If you were unable to participate this year, please don’t
let the opportunity to participate next year pass you by.
