Subject: 2014 ICSC Update
This memo is for the purpose of updating the EDA on the upcoming ICSC RECON Conference
that will be taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada from May 18 - 20, 2014.
Attending the Conference
Mayor Myron Bailey and Economic Development Director Danette Parr will be attending the
conference.
Logistics
All participants will be staying at Bally’s. The conference will again be held at the Convention
Center approximately 1.5 miles from Bally’s. The Convention Center is accessible by mono
rail, taxi and shuttle. In addition, Bally’s is very cost effective compared to other nearby
lodging options.
Appointments
Thus far, appointments with the following organizations have been confirmed:
Aldi’s
Buxton
Associated Bank
Carlson Rezidor
Dunkin Brands
Golden Corral
Hibbett Sports
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG)
Kwik Trip
MidAmerica Group
Potbelly Sandwichese
UPS Store
Wyndham Hotel Group
The above list is not comprehensive, but merely reflects confirmed meetings. Other
appointments are pending and will be added over the next week. In addition, some retailers
were initially considered, but after further research (i.e.: aren’t expanding in our market, only
want to locate in the interior of a regional shopping center, etc), they were not included at this
time.
