CONDO CON: The Property Owners Conference & Expo on August 21-22, 2015

Keynote speaker Dave Reid will share tactics on how to best reach consumers-from young couples to Snowbirds. Reid is an industry veteran with an impressive resume and served as the Executive Vice President for multimillion-dollar restaurant chain Miller’s Ale House.

Reid is one of ten vacation rental industry experts at the conference. Condo owners will get information on everything from the latest travel and real estate trends to Panama City Beach’s new Spring Break ordinances.

Organizer and vacation rental management consultant Chuck Steeg said he is bringing back some conference favorites with fresh content while also introducing new, pressing topics. “We’re excited to add HomeAway Director of Government Relations Matt Curtis to this year’s roster. He’ll be updating owners on the potential regulations threatening vacation rentals,” says Steeg.

Condo owners can also network with other owners, learning from their successes and failures, plus test new products and services. Some 50 vendors will conduct product demonstrations while distributing free promotional items and product samples. And every visitor has a chance to walk away with more as the exhibitors contribute door prizes. “Last year, we awarded one lucky owner a living room set and a new, state-of-the-art mattress.” said Steeg. “We have a few surprises in store for the 2015 expo.”

The conference hours are noon to 6 p.m. on Friday, August 21 and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 22. A complete schedule will be available on the official event website, www.condo-con.com.
