At a meeting this morning one high-level real estate executive summed up his team’s feelings about the success of the trip to New York: “We are having a very good show. But, then again, our expectations were really low, so it doesn’t take much to exceed them.” This might as well serve as a slogan for the 2009 ICSC New York National Conference and Dealmaking.
Consistent with the trend we’ve seen throughout the year, participating companies have sent a limited number of representatives to the show–only those who have a reason to come have taken the trip. That might account for the light traffic during the first day of the conference. But those who have come say they’ve been busy.
