We're reaching out to secure your support in bringing Retail Live, a revolutionary event, to Rochester, NY. What sets Retail Live apart is its focus on retailer exhibitors, with an impressive 90% comprising retailers, offering a unique opportunity for Brokers, Landlords, and Developers to engage directly with Retailers in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.

Unlike traditional industry events, Retail Live is a laid-back, casual affair where impromptu meetings and genuine networking take center stage. The highlight of the event is a four-hour trade show that operates like speed dating. Attendees have the chance to pitch their projects directly to Retailers on a first-come, first-serve basis, fostering dynamic connections.

With over 1,000 attendees, tenants can attend at no cost by submitting their site criteria, creating a valuable directory for streamlined networking and tenant searches. By hosting Retail Live in Rochester, we aim to create an environment where industry professionals can seamlessly present their projects or services to active retailers. In less than a day, participants can build valuable connections, transforming the typical industry event experience into a vibrant and engaging affair.

Your letter expressing support for this initiative will play a pivotal role in making Retail Live in Rochester a reality. Join us in elevating the Commercial Real Estate scene in our city and the Northeast! Download the letter.
