The committee invited more than 1,500 retailers from around the state to the event, which will feature panel sessions and give attendees an overview of the retail climate in downtown Syracuse. The committee is also running a retail-themed television spot in the Rochester, Ithaca, Cortland, Binghamton, Auburn, Oswego, and Syracuse markets.
The Oct. 18 session is the committee’s second recruitment event. More than 50 retailers attended a similar event in June.
