 Dear participants and visitors of the MALL exhibition!On behalf of the Consumer Market Development Committee within the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the members of the Moscow International Business Association, I would like to congratulate you on the occasion of the 5th anniversary exhibition MALL. For five years, the exhibition has been the major platform for meetings, communication, and presentation of innovative ideas for all participants of the commercial real estate market. Joining professionals, the international MALL exhibition promotes mutual integration, which certainly improves the level of the industry qualitative development, the volume of construction and implementation of the state-of-the-art technologies and architectural solutions. From year to year, the commercial real estate market develops more and more dynamically, and the MALL exhibition is the best indicator of the efficient growth of this economic sector. I wish all participants to have constructive communication, build up their business activity, establish long-term partnership relations, and achieve successful implementation of their new projects. Alexander Borisov,  On behalf of Russian Council of Shopping Centers - the professional organization uniting players of the trading and entertainment real estate industry on the national level - I would like to welcome all the participants and visitors of 5-th International exhibition "MALL".By the example of this unique, constantly growing exhibition it is obvious how fast the offer of modern trading areas in all the cities around Russia develops, how much the available technologies and architectural designs improve every single year. Today, Russian development companies run their business worldwide satisfying higher demands of buyers, on the one hand, and of the network trading companies, on the other hand. This is proved by the great interest of the international investors towards trading real estate units. It is important that this year we welcome a number of new companies as exhibitors and visitors of the exhibition, as well as information learners. I am sure that here they will find reliable partners and contractors for their projects. I wish successful cooperation to all the participants of the exhibition: fruitful dialogue, establishment of business relations as well as professional enrichment. Oleg Voytsekhovskiy  On behalf of the organizing committee, I gladly welcome the participants and visitors of the 5th International MALL Exhibition.From the very outset, the exhibition has focused its attention on the market of commercial real estate and remains rigorously faithful to the initially selected concept, presenting the most relevant situation in the shopping center industry. The year of 2008 has become the anniversary year for the exhibition, and the experience accumulated during 5 years of work is impressive. A continuously high percentage of permanent participants, reliable support by major sponsor companies, informational support by the leading industry and business publications are the achievements which should be continued. The exhibition will celebrate its fifth anniversary at the exhibition area of over 4,000 sq. m together with the participants of the exposition, informational partners and guests who will visit our exhibition during the days of its work. Every year, the exhibition is carried out at the height of the business season, when the main market trends gain their strength and show their worth, and all its players have something to present to the business community. I wish all participants of the exhibition to work fruitfully, establish long-term business contacts and implement their most ambitious projects.
