The Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association’s Annual Trade Show is kicking off on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at Sharonville Convention Center in Sharonville, Ohio, from 4 pm to 6:30 pm. If you were one of the few who didn’t stop by in 2023, here is your chance to see what all the hype is about. Some of the products, services and people you meet may lead you to success in the apartment rental industry. This year, we have 89 booths with various vendors that supply a product or service directly to the multi-family housing industry. This is your chance to meet and greet them all and - as always - we have free parking, free admission and plenty of entertainment. Food will be available from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm on the trade show floor. Soft drinks, wine and beer are available for purchase.
This is the biggest event of the year for our Associate members, allowing them to display their products and services to both current clients and potential customers. So whether you are looking for a specific new service or just checking out the latest products available...what better or more fun place to find it?! A huge thank you to the Associate Council, the Trade Show Committee and to all the companies who stepped up to help sponsor this event. For complete information on the trade show - including sponsors and educational seminars - see the insert inside this newsletter. Please note new admission policy regarding non-exhibiting, non-sponsoring associate (vendor) members only. Policy may be found in full by clicking here.
