esire, dream and vision—these are as much the essence of creative thinkers as they are of champions. Here, in DDI’s annual Portfolio Awards issue, we see the melding of the two, creative champions named so by their own peers and colleagues. To have one’s work designated for recognition in this issue is an honor indeed. DDI’s annual Portfolio Awards issue is always one of my favorites. While I learn something about this industry from every issue of DDI, I like this one because it helps me get a better perspective of what readers see as the best in retail and retail design. The Portfolio Awards show me who the industry perceives to be the shining stars and the most innovative retailers. It helps me and the rest of the GlobalShop team better address our market. There was a plaque at the entrance of my high school locker room that said: “Through these doors walk champions.” We could place the same plaque on the entrance units at GlobalShop— our audience is made up of the champions of the retail industry who earn the title every day in retail environments across the globe. But, how about the people and places mentioned in this issue? Are they represented at GlobalShop? I have to admit that one reason I look forward to this issue is that I view it as a kind of report card for GlobalShop. While I’m flipping through the pages and learning about what’s hot in the industry, I’m noting the names of the featured retailers and individuals. I then compare those names and companies to our attendee list to see if these folks are coming to our show. If the industry is acknowledging them, we need to make sure they’re represented at GlobalShop. Thankfully, once again the correlation is extremely high—almost 100 percent, in fact. Nearly every person or retailer mentioned on these pages was at GlobalShop in 2012. We take great pride in this, because it’s our goal to create an environment that is compelling, inspiring and worthwhile for everyone in the dynamic world of retail. The show’s essence is its audience, and it is encouraging that so many of this industry’s leaders weave the fabric of the show. Congratulations to this year’s winners! We hope to see you in 2013 in Chicago, along with future champions of the coming year.
