On Wednesday, August 9, 2023, the CAA hosted the 2023 Central Ohio Multifamily Exposition at the Makoy Center in Hilliard, a new location for the event. Nearly 90 vendor members showcased their products and services while encompassing the Night at the Movies theme attracting the interest of Primary Member attendees. The Expo puts CAA Associate Members in the spotlight allowing them to shine during the four-hour affair. This year was no exception as many did so fully embracing the movie themed event with costumes and giveaways. Associate Members continue to demonstrate why ‘doing business with Associate Members is good business’ in a setting that allows for fun and a break away from the office. Vendors had the chance to add additional sponsorship during the show to attract attendees to their booths with the Walk of Fame traffic card and other various sponsorships that set them apart. Attendees began by picking up their name badge with grand prize entry traffic card. Once the card was complete, attendees could return for a chance to win the Grand Prize, an outdoor movie night with projector, screen and movie themed goodies valued at $500. From there, visitors wound their way through the two rooms that comprised the show floor playing games, posing for pictures, and networking. During the show started some members took advantage of the education sessions offered focusing on Technology, Motivation and Customer Service with featured speakers Dalia Kalgreen, Unified Residential, Kathryn Benedum, PERQ, Ohio State National Champion, Cardale Jones and Noelle Smith, Redwood Living. Members who attended left with a wealth of knowledge to take back to their teams and leaders to advance their careers. Once compiled, the Grand Prize was drawn, and the winner was Kate Weaver, Birge & Held Asset Management. The Expo provides opportunities from site staff to owners to have an entertaining time away from the office and, maybe the opportunity to win a prize or two while conducting a bit of business. Thank you to all our vendors and sponsors who made the day a success.
