Are you looking for a new management company or financial advisor? Does your landscaping need an expert green thumb? Is your roof weather-beaten from the ravages of the New England winter?

Help is on the way this spring with the return of the New England Condo Expo making its fourth appearance at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston. And best of all, it’s free!

On Tuesday, May 22, over 150 exhibitors, from attorneys to roofers to managers and financial professionals, will showcase a variety of products and services to fill the needs of condo associations from Arlington to Weymouth. Along with the trade show, the event—running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.—will feature educational seminars and free advice booths designed keep your community running smoothly.

Prizes, Prizes, Prizes

No Expo would be complete without prize giveaways! What community couldn’t use a little extra financial assistance? Attend the 2012 Condo Expo and you could be the big winner of New England Condominium’s $2,500 Reserve Fund drawing. The winner will be drawn after Expo registration has closed, and a check will be made payable to the winner’s association, care of their management company. Only trustees qualify to enter the drawing, and attendance at the Expo is required for eligibility. For complete details, visit the Expo website, www.ne-expo.com.

Seminars and Much More

Good information and clear communication are crucial for not just thriving, but surviving in today's challenging economic times. Finding that information and developing communication strategies isn't always easy. The Expo offers the opportunity to do both, in one day and under one roof.

The seminars routinely attract standing-room-only audiences, and a great lineup is planned for the 2012 event. Preparing to make another appearance is the law firm of Goodman Shapiro & Lombardi, whose seminars on conflict resolution are extremely popular, and the law firm of Marcus, Errico, Emmer & Brooks, which will update attendees on legal and legislative trends in the condo/HOA community. Energy company National Grid is also hosting a seminar panel.

You will also find free advice on topics ranging from financial shortfalls to errant board members, pest problems, flood damage, and other maintenance-challenges. Keep an eye on upcoming issues of New England Condominium, or visit the Expo website, www.ne-expo.com, for the latest news.
