Experience UK is delighted to be heading to Cannes next month (November 2021) to host a stand at LeisurUP by MAPIC, in association with the Department for International Trade.
An accelerating trend is sweeping the world, as many retail spaces continue to lie derelict, shopping destinations and high streets look at how leisure and entertainment offerings can turn the lights back on and increase footfall.
LeisurUP caters to this emerging need, and provides a prime hotspot for experience providers and retail operators/owners the chance to meet to discuss new business models.
The Experience and DIT booth is set to brim with a wealth of UK companies who are ready to break-ground in the retailtainment world with a diverse range of offerings – from visitor experience architects, themed attraction designers and creative technology specialists.
Joining us to Cannes are Simworx, Teq4, Luminous Show Technology, Severn Lamb, DJ Willrich, Data Duoplay, ray hole architects and Pinentel & Partners. We are still offering limited packages for British looking to join the Experience UK delegation.
A jam-packed conference programme is promised at LeisurUP by MAPIC
A range of world-leading attraction giants have been confirmed to participate in the world’s premier leisure and entertainment event. These include Puy du Fou, Kidzania, Port Aventura and Merlin Entertainments.
Operators attending the show include amusement parks, active entertainment venues, immersive experience providers, museums and cinemas. LeisurUP promises to be an epicentre of both small and large scale operators, as well as an iconic selection of IP and brand licencees, including FC Porto and The Smurfs.
Commenting ahead of the event Nathalie Depetro, Director of MAPIC said: “For the first time, 50 per cent of MAPIC’s exhibition space will be occupied by operators of the new retail mix – namely leisure, food & beverage, culture and digital retailers alongside more traditional retailers who will be unveiling new omnichannel strategies and innovative solutions for physical spaces.
“This year’s participants will enjoy a reinvented MAPIC dedicated to highlighting the new face of retail both today and tomorrow, not least in the exhibition area where major players in the commercial property sector will discover the many innovations that will undoubtedly enliven the landscape of the new lifestyle destinations they plan to develop or manage.”
LeisurUP by MAPIC will take place November 30 – December 2 2021. Our stand number is R7.B17.
