Welcome to the 5th Annual Los Angeles Real Estate Grand Expo
Grow your real estate business and network at the 5th Annual Los Angeles Real Estate Grand Expo. Are you interested in networking with nearly 1,000 investors from throughout California and around the nation? If so, be sure to reserve your company’s exhibitor table for the Grand Expo.
This is the 5th Annual Los Angeles Real Estate Grand Expo reaching investors in Southern California. The Grand Expo will take place on Saturday, October 26 (9:00 am to 6:00 pm), at the world-famous Iman Cultural Center in Culver City. At this fantastic Grand Expo, you will meet real estate investors and related real estate professionals – the best and brightest. Our guests have all levels of experience, united in one location, all in one day. Our Expo guests need your services. They need your products and want to learn about your company. Here, you will find your future clients. With that in mind, here are some suggestions for making it a successful event for Expo exhibitors and participating sponsors.
1. Friday Night Lights (October 25). On Friday night, October 25, 2023 (the night before the Grand Expo), we’re having our annual vendors and speakers set-up and networking event (6:00 to 8:00 pm). This event is called “Friday Night Lights”. In other words, rather than showing up at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning to set-up your vendor table, we are opening the Iman Cultural Center the night before (Friday night) exclusively for our vendors and speakers.
2. Vendor Expo. Reserve a vendor table at our gigantic vendor exhibition area (North Hall of the Iman Cultural Center). You will have a 3 x 6 table with a black tablecloth, and two chairs (although you can have more if needed). There is limited WiFi at the Iman and limited electrical outlets along the walls. (However, if you make your smartphone a “hotspot,” your laptop will automatically have WiFi.) You can use your table for flyers, business cards, marketing materials, and more.
3. Saturday Arrival. Vendors arrive at approximately 8:30 am on Saturday. If this is your first Grand Expo, we recommend you arrive earlier (8:00 am) to familiarize yourself with the “lay of the land.”
4. Parking. If you arrive early, there will be valet parking ($15.00). But after it fills up, there will be street metered parking. There are also two free parking lots. The first is on the northeast corner of Motor and Palms. The second is on the northeast corner of Motor and National. Both lots are a short two block walk to the Iman Cultural Center.
5. Hours. The Vendor Expo area will operate from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. But you’d be shocked how many people arrive before 9:00 to meet vendors. So don’t be late!
6. Dress for Success. Our Grand Expo is a professional networking event, where you will offer your products and services to hundreds of investors. You are a real estate professional. As such, business casual is appropriate. For better or worse, people judge others on what they wear. So please dress the part. We want to present you in the best light possible.
7. Marketing Materials. As a vendor, your company can place anything on your table, including, but not limited to, brochures, business cards, flyers, marketing materials, laptop computers, monitors, candy, pens, swag, and anything else you can think of. Use your imagination. You can also set-up posters and stand-up banners on the wall behind your vendor table.
9. Networking with Other Vendors. Please make a special effort to introduce yourself to the other vendors at our Friday Night Lights and during the Grand Expo. These are real estate professionals just like you. They refer clients just like you. We often need to remind new vendors that your best referrals will come from the other vendors. So take advantage of this unique networking opportunity to meet the other vendors.
Thank you, we hope you can participate as a vendor and exhibit your company. For information, please contact our office: 805.693.1497.
