GET IN THE GAME: GCNKAA HOSTS ANNUAL TRADE SHOW ON MARCH 14

Get in the game! The Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Apartment Association’s Annual Trade Show is kicking off on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, at Sharonville Convention Center in Sharonville, Ohio, from 5 pm to 7:30 pm. If you were one of the few who didn’t stop by in 2022, here is your chance to see what all the hype is about. Some of the products, services and people you meet may lead you to success in the apartment rental industry.

This year, we have 96 booths with various vendors that supply a product or service directly to the multi-family housing industry. This is your chance to meet and greet them all and - as always - we have free parking, free admission and plenty of entertainment. Food will be available from 5:45 pm to 6:45 pm on the trade show floor. Soft drinks, wine and beer are available for purchase.

This is the biggest event of the year for our Associate members, allowing them to display their products and services to both current clients and potential customers. So whether you are looking for a specific new service or just checking out the latest products available... what better or more fun place to find it?!

A huge thank you to the Associate Council, the Trade Show Committee and to all the companies who stepped up to help sponsor this event. For complete information on the trade show - including sponsors and educational seminars - see the insert inside this newsletter. Sharonville Convention Center is located at 11355 Chester Road. Please note new admission policy regarding non-exhibiting, nonsponsoring associate (vendor) members only. Policy may be found in full by clicking here.

Not only is the Trade Show your chance to meet and greet 96 different vendors and broaden your knowledge of the multifamily housing industry, but you can walk away with one of several different door prizes or one of the grand prizes totaling $1000 in cash!

This year, for the grand prize, we once again will have three separate drawings of $200, $300 and $500. Winners must be present and a member of the Apartment Association to qualify. The raffle begins at 7:15 pm and all you need to do to be eligible is visit every participating booth and have your Game Card initialed by the exhibitors. Then drop your card in the Prize Booth and be sure to be present in the hospitality area at 7:15 pm!

Returning this year, courtesy of our VIP Sponsors, we will be giving away three $100 cash prizes every 30 minutes beginning at 5:30 pm! Be sure to pick up your GCNKAA 2023 Cash Drawing Information sheet and drop your business card in the VIP Booth boxes located at our VIP Booths.

We have also had other door prizes ranging from gift certificates to color televisions to vacation get-aways. And this is just at the end of the evening! Several booths give away items throughout the show, so be sure to register at the individual booths as well as the Association Prize Booth. Good luck!
