Now in its fifth year, the New England Condo Expo has become the annual  must-attend event for New England property managers, board members, real estate  professionals and homeowners. Returning to the Seaport World Trade Center in  Boston on Tuesday, May 21, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the 2013 Expo will  showcase over 150 exhibitors from throughout the region, along with free advice  booths and a full slate of educational seminars.  

 In one day and under one roof, Expo visitors can gather information that’s essential to smooth community operations, network with experienced industry  professionals, and benefit from a full slate of unique educational programming.  

 Full Day of Seminars

 A full schedule of seminars is on tap for the day, covering topics such as lien  enforcement and foreclosures; compliance with local, state and federal laws;  improving energy efficiency; and landscape and pavement maintenance. Seminar  presenters will include attorneys from Marcus, Errico, Emmer & Brooks, P.C., and Goodman, Shapiro & Lombardi, LLC, as well as experts from National Grid and Curb Appeal  Consulting.  

 Last year's seminars attracted standing-room-only audiences—so be sure to arrive early to avoid disappointment!  

 Free Advice Booths & More

 Vendor booths and a full schedule of seminars may be the big draws to the Expo,  but that’s just one pixel of the Expo picture.  

 In addition to networking and education opportunities, the show’s popular free advice booths will be returning as well. If you have questions  about your association’s finances, policies, or day-to-day management, you can stop by one of the  booths for answers from leading legal, management, maintenance, insurance and  financial professionals.  

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

 Throughout the day, random drawings will be held for a host of valuable door  prizes. Past attendees have gone home with tickets to professional sporting  events, televisions, certificates for valuable condo and HOA services, and even  vacation packages!  

 $2,500 Reserve Fund Giveaway

 Among the day’s most popular offerings is the Reserve Fund prize giveaway, courtesy of New  England Condominium and Yale Robbins Publications, LLC, the parent company of  New England Condominium. One attendee at the Expo will win a $2,500  contribution to their building or association's reserve fund. The winner will  be drawn at random after registration has closed, and a check for the winnings  will be made payable to the winner’s association, care of their management company.  

 Only board members qualify to enter the reserve fund drawing, and attendance at  the Expo is required for eligibility. For complete details on how to enter the  reserve fund drawing, visit the Expo website, www.ne-expo.com.
