About
Take Charge of Your Professional Development
Welcome to the 2012 Specialty Leasing Summit! This event, held prior to the start of SPREE, was launched in 2011 to provide intensive professional development training for leasing professionals in the specialty retail field.
We recognize the importance of continuing professional development so we have assembled top-notch industry leaders as instructors; created courses with curriculum designed to teach the “best practices” of the business; and, give you hundreds of take-aways to implement in your program to lease more space!
If you are a newcomer to the Specialty Leasing Designation (SLD) program we confidently predict that we can grow your business, your profits and your business knowledge. If you attended the 2011 Summit, participated in all the webinars throughout the year, then these two days and final five courses will complete your designation training program. You will be part of the first graduating SLD Class. Congratulations!
Following The Summit, attend the world’s largest trade show (SPREE) for temporary tenants—carts, kiosks, and retail merchandising units. It is your opportunity to discover the latest products, trends and concepts in the industry.
Specialty Retail Report is committed to educating business professionals, empowering individuals in the retail shopping center industry, and, improving the bottom line.
Looking forward to meeting you at Summit 2012.
