2013 PREVIEW

Save the date and fetch your passport: The 13th annual International Retail Design Conference is set for September 17-19 at the Four Seasons Vancouver. (Which, serendipitously, sits atop Pacific Centre mall, the hub of downtown Vancouver shopping, one block from the city’s famous Robson Street retail corridor. Convenient, eh?)

IRON MERCHANT IN THE WINDY CITY

For the fourth time in seven years of Iron Merchant Challenge competition, Timberland’s Bevan Bloemendaal led his team of IRDC attendees to victory in Chicago, creating a wind-blown Art Noir window display around a black dress and the “secret ingredient”—a battery-operated fan.

2012 CONFERENCE RECAP

The 12th annual International Retail Design Conference drew more than 300 designers, architects, planners and visual merchandisers to Chicago’s Renaissance Downtown, September 5-7.

Attendees traveled from across the U.S. as well as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Germany, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru and United Kingdom.

FOR INSIDERS ONLY

One of the perks of IRDC Insidership is access to select session recaps following each year’s conference. If you joined us in Chicago, you’ve already received a link to 16 PDFs from keynotes, breakouts and retail-design case studies presented Sept. 5-7.
