OPP Live '08

We are delighted to have been asked to attend this year's OPP Live 08 exhibition at the ExCel in London on November 25th and 26th. Organised by Overseas Property Professional magazine and events the show is now in its fourth year and has gone from strenght to strength, despite ongoing turmoil in property markets worldwide.

If there's anyone out there who wants to meet up with us at the exhibition just drop a line to tara@overseascafe.com or ring Tara on 00353 86 044 9278 and we'll do our best to arrange something.

Alternatively, if you're visiting the exhibition and are a registered visitor, you can log in to OPP's online diary and arrange a time to meet up with us.

We will be giving a seminar on the current state of the Irish overseas property industry and where it might go in the future. If you wish to attend it will be in Theatre 4 at 3pm on Tuesday November 25th.

Property Expo Rides Again

It's good to see that the Sunday Business Post sponsored Property Expo is on the calendar for 2009. With all the doom and gloom in the industry there were fears that the show would not be re-appearing but the announcement has been made that it will, indeed, go ahead.

If nothing else the show provides an opportunity to see who's left standing in the industry and of course, gives a chance to catch up on what exactly is going on as people deal with everything that has happened over the past year.

Opening times for the Dublin Expo are:

Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th April from 11.00-18.00

The Expo will also be held in City Hall, Cork on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April 2009.

Admission is free!

Exhibition Seminars

Having just visited the Property Expo in the RDS a constant bugbear reared its ugly head. What is the point of seminars at an exhibition that are all given by exhibitors who are already present at the show? Are you not simply going to get the same spiel that you would on their stand, except without the chance to ask questions as you go? Or am I wrong and is there an inherent value to such seminars? If there is I have to say I fail to see it.

On the subject of the show, while most agents felt the Friday was slow, they were at least kept relatively busy on the stands and there appears to be more confidence than there was at the end of last year. Everyone did feel it was a bit fragile though, and could be killed off pretty easily by Mick Lynn's affairs appearing in the newspapers again or something similar happening elsewhere.

All in all, though, there appears to be a bit more hope than there was last year.
