Retail Excellence Ireland (REI)

Town Centre revival initiatives - Carton House on 13th May.

They are offering to host no more than 15 local authorities in a ‘Town Investment Village’ at the event – a dedicated area for local authorities to represent and profile opportunities in their respective Towns and Cities to Retail Investment decision makers. They will host local authority participants at a discounted price of EUR100per attendee including a hot lunch.

Town and City Investment Village at the REI Retail Retreat 2015

The Retail Retreat is Ireland’s largest retail conference attracting over 500 managers and owners from retailers across Ireland. This year, REI are planning to promote towns and cities across the country to raise awareness for issues and concerns but to also profile the strength of retail outside major Irish cities. This is part of our ‘Strategy for Rural Retailing’ initiative and follows on successful meetings around the country.

They envisage a ‘Village’ type set-up with retailers coming to learn about investment opportunities and initiatives in potentially new markets.  This will help to increase the profile of each town/city but also develop relationships with retailers who may operate in the area.
