General Manager Marketing for Dubai Festival City Judy Neil has become the region's first representative to be appointed to the MAPIC Consultative Committee. The Consultative Committee is made up of retail experts from around the world who help guide the future development of MAPIC - the international trade show for the retail real estate industry which is held annually in Cannes, France.
Judy Neil has 25 years experience in the retail industry having worked with a number of blue chip companies. Now managing the marketing for the Dubai Festival City waterfront development, which has extensive and diverse retail offerings and is set to lift the regional shopping experience to new heights, Neil counts among her interests global marketing trends and socio-economic developments.
Last year, Dubai Festival City, which spans 1,600 acres along the historic Creek in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), made its international exhibition debut at MAPIC. MAPIC 2003 will be held at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes from November 19-21.
Comprising 15 distinct development zones, Dubai Festival City is a property development by the Al-Futtaim Group and is the Middle East's largest mixed-use real estate project. The privately-funded property will comprise a unique mix of entertainment, dining, shopping, edutainment, sport and leisure facilities, automotive dealerships, hotels, a marina, residential and office components. — (menareport.com)
