The iProperty.com EXPO will be held from 25 to 27 July 2008 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), Halls 4 and 5, and will showcase over A$3 billion of the hottest international high-end property from top developers. Formerly known as “International Home Buyer and Investor” exhibition, this marks the first time the event is being organised by the iProperty.com Group.
The iProperty.com Expo ‘The Luxury Collection’ will feature over 40 free seminars and dialogue sessions by industry experts and showcase pre-launch, off-plan, en-bloc and under construction commercial and residential projects from award-winning international property developers from Singapore, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates and the United States as well as Malaysian developers who will be showcasing the largest collection of luxury property from all over Malaysia including Johor, Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Pahang and Kedah.
The Expo will be officially launched by YB Dato’ Seri Ong Ka Chuan, the Minister of Housing and Local Government Malaysia on Friday, 25 July 2008, at 11am.
For the first time ever, the Expo will also include a free iProperty.com Investment Forum which will provide an informative platform for those keen to invest in luxury property. The keynote address will be presented by Mr. Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, Selangor Menteri Besar (Chief Minister).
The Investment Forum will cover a wide variety of topics including the outlook for the Malaysian luxury property market, the secret to making intelligent investments and how to become a multi-millionaire real estate property investor. An expatriate knowledge empowerment session for foreigners will also be held for those who are looking to migrate to or purchase properties in Malaysia.
Since its inception in 2005, the Expo has attracted over 50,000 visitors from 62 countries and over 300 exhibitors from more than 20 countries. Building on this strong foundation, the Expo is well on track to attracting more than 15,000 high net-worth individuals, expatriates and institutional buyers to this year’s event.
In conjunction with the Expo, an online expo website, which will feature exhibitor and property details, photos of booths as well as video recordings of seminar and panel discussions, will also be launched to cater to those home buyers and investors who are unable to physically visit the exhibition. The website will also offer property developers an excellent opportunity to tap on iProperty.com’s vast regional network to cross-market their products and services to a wider audience and extend their product exposure from three days to 365 days. The online expo web site can be accessed via the iProperty.com network available in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Hong Kong from 25 July 2008 onwards.
In a bid to expand its regional reach, the iProperty.com Expo will be held in Singapore at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre from 21 to 23 November, 2008.
