NYARM gears up for 2006 Expo.

With seven months to go before its 2006 Real Estate Expo, The New York Association of Realty Managers (NYARM) is pleased to announce that more than 35 percent of the booths have already been sold. Limited to just 65 booths to ensure maximum exposure for all exhibitors, this year's Expo is sure to sell out early. Companies that wish to reserve a booth or sponsorship are encouraged to do so as soon as possible to get the spot they want.

Last year the show moved to the Hotel Pennsylvania's bright, spacious and elegant penthouse ballrooms, where nearly 1,000 people attended a series of seminars and visited the information booths geared toward those involved in residential and facility property management. This year, NYARM will be offering nominally pricedNew York State Certified Continuing Education Seminar Courses, allowing managers and brokers to receive their required credits while attending the Expo. To accommodate the hundreds of people who registered for the seminars last year, this year's courses will take place in the Skytop Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 300 attendees. As a result, the exhibition hall will be restricted to the Penntop Ballroom, which allows space for only 65 booths.In addition to the Continuing Education Seminars and information booths, the 2006 NYARM Real Estate Expo will also be offering free seminars. prize drawings and awards throughout the day. Breakfast and lunch will be available for purchase in the comfortable cafe area.

The 2006 NYARM Real Estate Expo will once again be managed by Highpoint Ventures, Inc., a marketing consulting firm owned by Matt Kovner and Vicki Chesler, founders of The Cooperator and the Co-op & Condo Expo. "We look forward to our second year managing the NYARM Real Estate Expo," says Matt Kovner. "Based on the improvements we made last year, including the new venue at the renovated Hotel Pennsylvania, we are expecting an outstanding show this year.
