Free seminars, networking opportunities and a chance to get all your condo  questions answered — the 2013 New England Condo Expo brings it all together, in one day, under one  roof.  

 If you’ve been trying to find solutions to ongoing problems, or have been looking for  new technologies to make your community run more efficiently, this is the  opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Running from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm, the Condo Expo offers a full business day  packed with information every community can use.  

 The New England Condo Expo on May 21st at the Seaport World Trade Center, 200  Seaport Boulevard in Boston, has it all. In addition to showcasing more than  150 exhibitors in an information-filled trade show, the Expo offers free advice  booths and a full day of educational seminars featuring experienced  professionals. Here’s a sample of the seminar line-up:  

 “Default: Examining Collections, Foreclosures and the Super Lien Law — What You Need to Know” about the sometimes tricky and confusing legal aspects of foreclosure,  defaults, assessments, and more, led by attorneys from Marcus, Errico, Emmer & Brooks, PC, in Braintree, MA.  

 “Staying Ahead of Trouble–The Good, The Bad AND The Ugly In The Law” with attorneys from the Law Offices of Goodman, Shapiro & Lombardi, with offices in Dedham, MA, and Lincoln, RI, will look at legal and legislative concerns, compliance with local, state and federal laws,  being aware of new legal threats and new legislative initiatives affecting HOAs and condos. Security, privacy rulings  and amending your governing documents will be discussed as well.  

 “Roaches, Bedbugs & Mice - Oh My!” will feature industry professionals offering tips to keep your property  pest-free.  

 Gary Goldman of Sherborn, MA-based Curb Appeal Consulting, which offers  landscape auditing and consulting services, will also present an informative  seminar for board members, trustees, property managers and real estate  professionals.

If you have questions about your association’s finances, policies, or day-to-day management, stop by for answers from volunteer legal, management, maintenance and financial professionals.  

 And of course, no trade show would be complete without giveaways and raffles.
