- The MAPIC Roadshow in Paris was kicked-off by a speech given by Nathalie Depetro, Director of MAPIC, introducing the recently announced MAPIC Italy followed by a survey presentation dedicated to the in-vogue pop-up store retail format carried out by MAPIC and IFLS, a French institute specialised in retail.
