Buildex EDMONTON 2008 AIMS TO BRING

BIGGER AND BETTER TO THE REAL ESTATE WORLD

 

Before joining us at the 2008 REIC Annual Meeting check out the hottest show of the season!

 

As you know, Edmonton is in the boom and bustle of busy times these days. As a result, real estate and property management professionals are busier than ever. Every minute counts!


With this in mind, the second annual Buildex Edmonton Conference and Exposition (www.buildexedmonton.com) has paid special attention in creating an event that will be worth every penny and every minute of your time.

 

With 20% growth in exhibits from its inaugural year, Buildex Edmonton is shaping up to be a fantastic resource for trade professionals. See the latest products and make the most of a concentrated opportunity to meet old and new customers and suppliers by having everything present in one place at one time.  A complete list of exhibitors is available to the public on-line at www.buildexedmonton.com/a_exhibits.htm.

 

The conference, scheduled to take place April 29 & 30, 2008 at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton has some exciting highlights this year including:

 

  • The Real Estate Outlook for the Edmonton Market.

 

  • Architectural Keynote Panel: FACT or FICTION? Achieving Net Zero in Design, Architecture and Construction.

 

  • Energy Consumption in Buildings: Why So High, and What Can Be Done to Reduce It?

  • How to Manage Tenant Disruption and Maintaining Business Continuity in the Face of Emergency or Building Failure.
     

  • Masterminding the Security Master Plan.
     

  • Building Maintenance: Life Cycle Costing Programs.
     

  • 2006 Building Code Sessions.

  • How to Tender: Best Practices, Protocols and the Process.
     

  • Best Practices in Managing Others.

The continuing education credits for these sessions have been approved by the Real Estate Institute of Canada.

 

In addition to the tradeshow, a Meet & Greet wine and beer reception held on April 29th at 4:00 – 5:00 pm will provide some added flair and fun with complimentary wine, beer and hors d’oeurves. Take a few minutes to relax, enjoy and socialize!
