"This year, we will have a total of 568 booth and kiosk taking across from Hall 1 to 4 in KLCC. This would mean an incremental growth of 100+ booths & kiosk from 2019. Still using the same theme we had last year “Franchise Forward”, MIRF is confident of the growth due to support and collaborations from various retail sectors.
"We of course have better partnerships with our Malaysia Bumiputra Designers Association led by Bon Zainal and also Rasta Rashid. We also have more International Participations from overseas with emerging parties from Japan and Turkey.
"Needless to say, we are encouraged to see more startups and birth of entrepreneurs jumping into the scene as well.

"The 100 Hatchery booth will once again be exciting and will see new players, parties and collaboration partners in this corner.
"All of us know that these are trying times for the Malaysian market and also its surrounding markets. With a very controlled epidemic corona virus going on, certainly all of us wish that we know what and when the end will be.
"Certainly we have to stay positive and move forward to continue to provide opportunities in the market for Retail growth. And once again, MIRF 2020 will be counted upon to stage yet another great show.
"MIRF 2020 continues to soar by providing new add ons and facilities like Corporate Box and Business Matching areas for our Exhibitors. In addition to that, MIRF as usual will have a night for Exhibitors to foster friendships and build relationships.
