ICSC – 29th ANNUAL MAXI AWARDS
In all, 23 MAXIs and 56 MAXI Merits were awarded in a ceremony dominated by management companies and privately held developers. The show’s goal, Ivankovich said, was to emphasize creativity, in line with the conference’s theme of “Innovation.”

“We wanted to do something educational, and we also tried to capture the entertainment factor. We wanted the show to be of MAXI-winning quality itself,” she said.
In a major departure from previous years, this year’s show featured a master of ceremonies, comedian Tim Wilkins, who kept the program moving briskly but with a major dose of industry humor, some with a local touch.
“We have a mall here, Phipps Plaza, that’s so upscale there’s a cover charge,” Wilkins quipped.

“Tim Wilkins was hysterical! He worked with us to customize some of the program for our industry, so it really added a personal touch. He is professional and pleasant; great to work with. Our audience could relate to his friendly entertaining style. We would not hesitate to hire Tim again for a future event!”

“Well, you have done it again! You could tell from just walking in the door, our managers’ immediate recognition of you. I have had excellent comments on your performance at our third managers’ meeting. Over the past two years you have truly proven to be an expert in keeping the audience in “stitches” with your imaginative, impactful and well executed sense of humor. By blending Tire Kingdom stories into your standup show our managers left the meeting in high spirits! The feedback on the show was fantastic. It was a big hit and our managers and vendors loved it!
