Since its inception, the Global RLI Awards have paid tribute to the very best in the world of retail and leisure, having been held in London, Dubai, Los Angeles and Riyadh over the last eighteen years. We have also recently held our inaugural RLI MENA Awards in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an awards ceremony that was dedicated to the MENA region.
The Global RLI Awards continue to strive for excellence in an industry where the boundaries are always being pushed and now, more than ever, it is essential that we continue to collaborate and recognise achievements and ground-breaking projects around the world. After all, recognition is a powerful way for the retail and leisure industry to continue moving forward.
In 2024, the Global RLI Awards will make its debut in the Magic City, Miami a ‘Gateway to Latin America’ and perfect meeting point to bring together the world of retail and leisure to celebrate excellence on a global scale and will once again recognise innovation and dynamism in an inspiring industry that continues to adapt and evolve according to fast-changing market environments.
With its designer enclaves, stylish boutiques, gleaming malls and luxury flagships at lavish outdoor shopping centres to the largest mall in Florida, this destination has whatever your heart desires when it comes to retail, leisure and entertainment.
At RLI, we are constantly looking at ways to enhance the structure and criteria for the Awards whilst taking into account feedback from entries of previous events and in 2024 we will continue to recognise both transformation and re-imagination in an ever-changing industry. We are keen to invite entrants globally who wish to highlight their project, concept or company and seek recognition on an international scale and we look forward to seeing your projects recognised at the Global RLI Awards 2024 to ensure the evening will be a magical occasion for you, start preparing those award-winning presentations.
The finalists will be announced in the third quarter of 2024 in the July/August issue of RLI, all shortlisted companies will be offered the opportunity to advertise in the Global RLI Awards Showcase Feature in the September edition. I look forward to welcoming you to the nineteenth annual Global RLI Awards event in October 2024.
