STEP INTO A UNIVERSE OF OPPORTUNITY AT THE GCNKAA ANNUAL TRADE SHOW ON MARCH 18 Blast off into an out-of-this-world experience with the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association’s Annual Trade Show on WEDNESDAY, March 18, 2026, at the Sharonville Convention Center from 4 pm to 6:30 pm. If you missed last year’s mission, now’s your chance to step aboard and discover what all the cosmic buzz is about. The innovative products, stellar services, and industry trailblazers you encounter could launch your success to new heights in the multifamily housing universe. This year, we have 93 booths with 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. All pre-registered attendees will receive a $15 food and beverage voucher good for use at the Northern Lights Cafe on the trade show floor. Please note that Sharonville Convention
Center is a cashless facility. You will not receive change for any unused portion of your voucher and are also responsible for any charges over the $15 voucher. 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 admission policy regarding non-exhibiting, nonsponsoring associate (vendor) members only. Policy may be found in full by clicking here.
