Business Networking Expo

The SLAA Product and Service Council will be hosting the Best of St. Louis Networking Expo, aka, reverse trade show.  The Reverse Trade Show is a highly effective business networking event that provides the opportunity for attendees to meet privately with owners and key decision makers from property management companies.

How it works: From 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm, there will be a cocktail reception with owner/management participants. From 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm owners/management executives will be seated at tables and you will have an opportunity to meet with these decision makers in five-minute intervals over the two-hour session. Your initial appointment will be assigned; after the initial assigned appointment, you will be able to meet with as many decision makers in five-minute intervals as time allows.

The Reverse Trade Show format gives you the opportunity to have immediate contact with buyers from management companies representing over units across the St. Louis metro area.
