Landi van Deventer, regional marketing manager at Broll Property Group said,
“This morning it’s all about just embracing the love of marketing and our shopping centres. Today is about taking a step back and focus who is at the heart of all of our buildings. The heart of retail is about upskilling. Today is about showcasing ‘what is the bigger picture’, it’s to see what opportunities there are on the outside.”
