On June 10–11, Kyiv will host the 9th International Specialized Exhibition for the Retail, Commercial Real Estate and Manufacturing Industries, RAU Expo 2026. The event traditionally brings together leading market players to discuss key industry transformations and explore new development strategies.
 
Arricano CEO Anna Chubotina will take part in the panel discussion "New Standards of Management and Efficiency", where she and other commercial real estate experts will discuss current challenges and approaches to managing shopping and entertainment centers in a rapidly changing environment.
 
Key discussion topics will include:
 
• Shopping malls in a new reality — how developers and shopping center managers are revising management models to maintain efficiency, foot traffic, and profitability amid war and economic uncertainty.
 
• Tenant mix as a survival strategy — building a strong tenant portfolio in a transforming market and under increasing competition for quality tenants.
 
• Occupancy vs. efficiency — what matters more for shopping centers today: maximizing occupancy rates or maintaining a strategically balanced tenant mix that creates long-term asset value.
 
• Investing in the future — the key development areas that industry leaders are prioritizing today, including security, energy resilience, modernization, service improvements, and new formats.
 
RAU Expo 2026 is one of Ukraine's leading industry platforms, annually bringing together retailers, developers, commercial real estate operators, and manufacturers to exchange expertise, showcase successful case studies, and establish new partnerships.
