The member organization for industry advancement, ICSC promotes and elevates the marketplaces and spaces where people shop, dine, work, play and gather as foundational and vital ingredients of communities and economies. Find out about ICSC’s five-year strategy, ICSC 2025, here.
Pivotally, membership in ICSC offers networking and deal making channels. The newest tool? The cutting-edge Networking Platform allows members to make new connections, meet property owners, landlords and prospective tenants and list properties. Check it out:

ICSC recognizes the marketplaces industry’s value in and role in the larger economy and community and thus supports small businesses via the Small Business Center and diversity in the industry via the Partners in Diversity & Inclusion program. Because small businesses, women and people of color are key components of the industry and the economy, supporting them equates to supporting ICSC members.
And the ICSC Foundation and ICSC Foundation Canada support students as they work toward careers in the industry via scholarships and the Talent Incubator Project, which also offers mentorships and internships. Meanwhile, the Launch Academy encourages diverse students to pursue careers in the marketplaces industry.
Membership also offers access to forward‑thinking content, actionable insights and connection with today’s leading innovators and dealmakers at ICSC’s signature events. Among them are the content-focused ICSC+ series — which includes ICSC+OAC, ICSC+CenterBuild and ICSC+U.S. Law — and ICSC@events, the organization’s signature, multiday deal-making gatherings. They are ICSC@Monterey, ICSC@Carolinas, ICSC@Whistler and ICSC@Red River.
And don’t forget ICSC’s two biggest events: At May’s ICSC 2022 Las Vegas, previously known as RECon, thousands of change makers will connect for three days on the largest show floor of the year and prepare for the future with all new content exploring the latest technologies and trends where people shop, dine, work, play and gather. And ICSC 2022 New York will occur in December. Explore ICSC events.
And discover how experts and innovators are evolving to meet the moment with ICSC’s ongoing Virtual Series of current and archived webinars featuring leaders from across the industry.
ICSC membership brings additional insights via Commerce + Communities Today delivered to your inbox and via Industry Insights. And ICSC keeps members learning through the Online Retail Real Estate Institute, a three-part, self-directed program about opening and managing a property and creating a strategic plan. It’s free for members.
ICSC’s Global Public Policy arm — based in Washington, D.C. — advocates on behalf of the marketplaces industry at the federal, state and provincial levels. The government relations team proactively educates lawmakers and helps shape public policy to benefit ICSC’s membership. To assist its efforts in Washington, the ICSC PAC financially supports federal candidates who champion ICSC’s legislative priorities.
Members-only resources also include insurance programs for you and your company and more than 300,000 exclusive discounts across 10,000 cities for flights, hotels, restaurants electronics and car rentals.
The common thread through each of these ICSC programs is the chance to get involved and network. If you’re already a member or are interested in finding out how you can get involved as a benefit of joining ICSC, reach out to vice president of volunteer engagement Michael Cowden.
