This year’s MAPIC Awards hosted over two hundred nominated attendees and honored winners in twelve categories—including the People’s Choice Award—for their excellence, innovation, and creativity in the retail real estate sector. A special prize, decided by public vote, was also awarded to a start-up that took part in the pitch sessions. This year’s MAPIC places sustainability front and centre, with the theme People, Planet, Profit: Navigating retail towards a more “human” world—a focus reflected in multiple facets throughout the soirée. Details pertaining to the event’s sustainability included the reuse and regifting of the flowers used for the event to retirement homes for the elderly, replanting all of the plants used for the ceremony—and the use of recycled furniture across the event. Meanwhile, an artist created works of art using sand and depicting the theme of ‘the environment’ during the evening.
