Following year Russia was the host and on 2013. for the first time, MAPIC was hosted in 4 countries: China, India, Brazil and Russia. This year it will take place in the United States.

One of the distinguishing marks of MAPIC is it’s unsurpassed conference program.  And this year, as announced so far, 5 separate but interrelated thematic / program units will be held at the same time. Oxford and the Champs-Elysees department, MAPIC Innovation Forum, Retail Pavilion and Agora workshops. As for the retail market in Serbia and MAPIC, year 2008. will remain unchallenged, this is the year when five exhibitors from Serbia performed. Unfortunately, we have to say that this year there will be no exhibitors from Serbia but a higher number of professionals are expected. Current situation in the retail and shopping market in Serbia points out the arrival of two investment funds from South Africa, I ATTENRBURY and HYPROP, which suggest that there will be new investments in the retail and shopping sector in Serbia. Last year NEPInvest , also from South Africa, took over  Plazza Centers in Kragujevac. These events are pointing out a positive trend on Serbian market.

Organizers have already confirmed the presence of retailers from Qatar and Iran.
