What to Expect at the ICSC+Canadian Law Conference

August 18, 2022

The issues landlords and tenants encounter in the marketplaces industry are evolving fast, and leases need to keep up. Food delivery apps, ghost kitchens, medtail, inclusion and accessibility laws, and more are changing how the industry runs. These will be among the topics at the ICSC+Canadian Law event at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre’s North Building on Sept. 21 and 22.

Attendees also will learn how to make hospitality, entertainment and retail uses work together and how to solve the legal conundrums sparked by massive redevelopments. Lawyers from Canada’s top legal firms — as well as legal counsel and other executives from such development firms and retailers as A&W Food Services of Canada, Cadillac Fairview, Choice Properties, Cineplex, Clearstream Commercial Real Estate, Decathlon Canada, DoorDash, Oxford, Primaris Management and Trinity Development Group — will be among the speakers.

Canadian entrepreneur, philanthropist and television personality Vincenzo Guzzo will keynote the event. Known as Mr Sunshine on popular CBC show Dragons’ Den, he will talk about what it takes to succeed in the legal profession. A prolific entrepreneur who grew his family’s small theater business into a national chain of megaplexes, Guzzo also has a law degree from Universite du Quebec a Montreal. He serves as CEO of Cinemas Guzzo, Groupe Guzzo Construction, Guzzo Medical and Guzzo Hospitality. He also recently opened a chain of Neapolitan pizzerias called Giulietta in Montreal.

Others guests will include the development team behind one of the largest First Nation developments in North America, the 17 million-square-foot Taza mixed-use complex on the Tsuut’ina Nation, bordering Calgary. They’ll be on hand at a workshop called Getting Down to Business: The Low-Down on Doing Deals on First Nation Lands on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 1 p.m.
