The article reviews Mr. Brockman's recent panel session titled, "Central Florida: Where It Is, Where It Is Headed," hosted by the International Council of Shopping Centers Orlando Local Program Committee.

He also discussed the importance of strengthening the bond between tenants and landlords, explaining that keeping and building relationships with clients is easier and more cost-saving than finding new ones.
