NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2007 — Information Management Network (IMN) announces the inaugural Destination Club and Private Residence Club Industry Symposium (http://www.imn.org/eej980/pr). This event is the first of its kind to target the high-net-worth market and to provide sessions for attendees at all levels of interest and market position. The conference will take place at the Hilton Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, FL on April 18-19, 2007. It immediately precedes IMN’s distinguished Florida Symposium on Financing, Developing & Operating Condo Hotels (http://www.imn.org/eej966/pr) on April 19-20 at the same venue.
"Private Residence Clubs and luxury fractional projects are everywhere. Under the surface they are very complex, and the most difficult resort real estate product to sell. A conference that covers the product from top to bottom is invaluable to anyone considering the product," stated Carl Berry, CEO of Star Resort Group.
Developers, investors, and club executives are all interested in making the most of this relatively untapped market potential. To help realize the abundant opportunities, the Destination Club and Private Residence Club Industry Symposium (http://www.imn.org/eej980/pr) has been designed to provide attendees with industry insight and key networking opportunities necessary for established clubs through to new market entrants. Topics addressed by experts in the industry include:
-- Marketing to the Affluent: Best Practices -- Is Wall Street Ready? Exploring the Investment Opportunities in Destination Clubs and Private Residence Clubs -- CEO Panel: Market Opportunities, Critical Success Factors, and the Future -- Mixed-Use Resort Developers and Destination Clubs/PRCs: Opportunities and the Best Practices in Working Together
"Having a conference that is more totally focused on the services and philosophies, both operational and theoretical, associated with Private Residence and Destination Clubs helps the industry provide the most necessary and relevant ideas that be translated into more complete provision to high end members and potential members," says Susan Kime, president of Kimedia, LLC and prominent luxury lifestyle journalist.
