Our exclusive series continues Tuesday, January 18th with A Conversation with Michael Glimcher, Chairman and CEO of Glimcher Realty Trust, a retail real estate investment trust (REIT) and a recognized leader in the ownership, management, acquisition and development of malls, including enclosed regional malls and open-air lifestyle centers, as well as community centers. Glimcher Realty Trust, as the company has been known since 1994, is a public company and controls from its Downtown headquarters a portfolio of 26 shopping centers across the U.S.
Our October event featured Donatos founder Jim Grote and that program prompted one attendee to say, “I am left with a desire to reevaluate my vision to see if it stands the 100 year test Jim mentioned this evening. I feel inspired to be better.” When Mr. Glimcher talks with us this January, we expect a similar experience. We anticipate an informative and inspiring session led by one of the region’s best strategic retail REIT managers. Glimcher Realty Trust and Michael Glimcher are featured in the December 20, 2009 Columbus Dispatch article.

This new conversational format was designed to create the greatest interest and value for senior leaders. Veteran “business builders” share their philosophies in an open, interactive setting. Why were they successful? What mistakes did they make? What lessons were most important? Each, with their unique perspectives and experiences, engage the attendees in a way that sparks new thinking and creates valuable takeaways. When company leaders can exchange ideas, lasting value and lasting relationships are formed.
