In these sessions, senior decision-makers from across the European retail real estate sector — including investors, developers, operators and retailers — discuss current developments, strategic challenges and emerging trends shaping the industry.
Moderated by Klaus Striebich (RaRE Advise) and Reinhard Winiwarter (Publisher, ACROSS Magazine), the Retail Talks bring together experienced practitioners and thought leaders for focused and practice-oriented discussions.
Recent topics have included:
- the growing importance of mixed-use concepts and retail-hospitality synergies
- the shift from traditional performance metrics toward experience-driven value creation
- the role of outlet centers as innovation leaders, particularly in tenant collaboration and data-driven customer engagement
As part of the ACROSS Academy, the Retail Talks complement the on-site formats by offering regular digital touchpoints, enabling ongoing exchange between Academy participants and the wider industry.
