One week later, we’re still feeling the energy from another successful ICSC Las Vegas trip!

It was great reconnecting with familiar faces and building new relationships throughout the week. From conversations at our booth to networking events, this year’s conference was an incredible experience and an amazing success for our team.

We’re excited about the new partnerships, promising leads, and opportunities ahead, and we’ve already hit the ground running since returning to Chicago.

Thank you to ICSC for hosting another amazing event. We’ll see everyone again in 2027!
