New floor plan at the ECE Retail & Placemakers Meeting

We are pleased to see the strong level of interest and the many confirmations already received for this year’s ECE Retail & Placemakers Meeting. To make it easier for you to find your leasing contacts and appointments, we have adjusted the arrangement of our booths at the venue (floor plan on the left).

New floor plan

The eastern half of the venue will be fully dedicated to our Germany business this year. In the areas North, East, South, and West Germany, you will find information and contacts for our centers, organized by region.

On the western side of the venue, our Digital Marketing and Specialty Leasing Services will once again be represented, alongside opportunities to learn more about our international business.

As usual, our entire leasing team will be on site. Take this opportunity to schedule your meetings in advance:

  • Feel free to contact our leasing services team at leasing@ece.com, or
  • Reach out directly to your established contact within ECE.

We look forward to an engaging and productive day in a relaxed atmosphere!
