“We are honored to have Mr. Wang Jianlin’s participation in the World Summit,” said Michael P. Kercheval, president and CEO of the ICSC. “As chairman of the Wanda Group of Beijing, one of China's - and the world's - largest real estate developers and retailers, he is one of a rare few individuals who can speak with authority on the future of the world’s economy. Mr. Wang Jianlin’s track record of success is unmatched, and his commitment to join us in Shanghai speaks volumes as to the importance of the World Summit – on a multinational scale.”

The World Summit agenda is designed to educate attendees on strategies and proven tactics to realize growth in an uncertain economy. While development in mature markets may have plateaued, emerging markets will present growth opportunities for the immediate future. A booming middle class in emerging markets has created myriad new retail opportunities.

Attendees will hear firsthand from retailers who are leading the globalization of retail by crossing borders and successfully broadening their brands.
