NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2006 — Information Management Network ("IMN"), the largest organizer of condo hotel conferences, will host over 500 top owners, developers, and service providers at its annual Las Vegas Symposium on Financing, Developing and Operating Condo Hotels (http://www.imn.org/eej916/pr) from November 30-December 1, 2006 at The Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada. IMN’s Condo Hotel events, held annually in both Las Vegas and Miami, have consistently grown in stature and have become the key Condo Hotel industry gatherings nationwide.
"I attend the IMN Condo Hotel conferences because the speakers and participants are pioneers in an industry that could boom in the next five years," said Jody Kriss, Senior Vice President, Bayrock Group, LLC. "The condominium form of ownership has the potential to revolutionize the hospitality industry the way it did the multi-family industry and we want to maintain a leadership position as this transformation evolves."
As the largest events of their kind, IMN’s Condo Hotel Symposia are the foremost meeting places to educate new market entrants and discuss the latest transactions and industry developments. This year, over 40 Condo Hotel owners will bring their real-life experiences to the table and over 40 service providers will be exhibiting at the Symposium.
"For me, the most valuable part of the program in Las Vegas is the opportunity to share thoughts about difficult issues with other practitioners in this area. It was extremely helpful to be in a position to discuss the problems that we are all facing and to obtain other points of view on them," said Paul Berkowitz, Esq., Greenberg Traurig, P.A.
Featuring over 100 leading industry speakers, this year’s program will focus on the very latest trends and developments. The event will feature regional roundtables, as well as over 30 panel discussions covering the most recent industry issues, key regulatory developments and operations matters. Panel topics include:
— THE OUTLOOK FOR CONDO HOTELS IN 2007: TAPPING INTO THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES
— THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL MARKETS: IDENTIFYING THE HOT SPOTS
— THE BIG LAUNCH: EFFECTIVELY GENERATING THE BUZZ
— EVALUATING AMENITY DECISIONS: WHAT ARE THE ‘MUST HAVES’ FOR CONDO HOTELS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE?
— CONDO HOTEL SALES: HOW THE LEADING MARKETERS AND BROKERS ARE SELLING THEIR PROPERTIES IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT
"Where else to better understand condo hotels than at IMN’s conference in Las Vegas? The city is literally the center of the universe, the cutting edge, for a variety of condo hotel structures," said Jay Neveloff, Partner, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP.
