This year, AIREEC California's theme is "The Business of Global Second Homes and Resorts."

Expected attendees and exhibitors are industry keyplayers in the second, retirement, and vacation homes industry as well as hotel and resort developers, investors, and contractors.

The conferences will also observe the theme with seminars that will empower attendees and their business in succeeding and getting ahead in their industries as well as panel discussions on issues and trends that affect the global IRE market.

When going global, one has to continuously think outside of the box and look at the bigger picture while constantly being abreast with the current international real estate issues, trends and situations.

Several factors continue to play major roles into the rapid growth of real estate globalization: over a billion global users of internet, baby boomers turning 62 this year, a thriving tourism and travel industry, a red ink society, inflation and a host of favorable incentives in emerging markets to lure foreign buyers and end users' appetite in cross border investment and purchases are just some of the driving force of this growth.

Europe, Asia and the Americas have seen this coming and had started to cater to this market more aggressively than others.

Real estate developers, real estate professionals and even the public sector have focused on massive marketing, specializations and product development to attract global buyers and investors into their location.

There were countries that had seen the impact of capturing a share of these global real estate buyers to the improvement of their economy.

And, there are others who had proven that real estate revenue from global sales could beat the black gold revenue.

One of those who understands the opportunities and challenges of this market is Expo and Convention Promotions Inc.(ECPI).

ECPI has committed to introduce these opportunities to many, while offering tangible solutions to the challenges.

Buyers, sellers and investors are faced with so many options and choices, a scarcity of time, and cost of travel to explore locations that ECPI had decided to facilitate to this markets needs by bringing together over 30 countries under one roof on September 5 - 7, 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The American International Real Estate Expo and Conference (AIREEC), with the theme "Global 2nd Homes and Resorts", is a timely, needed and well sought after event where baby boomers and seniors can meet, promote, network and explore opportunities from a 10 – 10,000 miles radius.

This is the 2nd AIREEC event, with the first held in Asia last year.

This year, ECPI is holding two AIREEC events, one in the United States in September, 2008 and the other in Asia during December, 2008.

In total, ECPI plans to produce 7 AIREEC events by 2012 with locales to include Asia, America, Abu Dhabi, The Atlantis (in the Bahamas), Argentina, Africa and Australia.

ECPI collaborates with major Real Estate Exhibition Companies like SIMA, MIPIM, OPP, OPINS (KFAIRS) to produce the most professional and successful events possibly – and, as well, ECPI events are organized with the 3 G's, (Grand, Glitz and Glamour) in mind.

Various side events, in addition to the Expo and Conference, are being organized to set an environment that is conducive to camaraderie and business transaction.

The business luncheons, networking cocktails, gala dinners and international networking centers are just some of the settings that delegates can enjoy while building relationships and while doing business.

Remember, the 21st Century is predicted to be all about Global 2nd Homes and Baby Boomers being into the "Global Citizenship" mode.

Be there when it happens.

It is worth your time…

Come join us September 5 – 7, 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
