iProperty Expo Luxury Collection 09

Decide to have a look at the property expo organize by iProperty.
It’s theme “iProperty.com Expo – Luxury Collection 09” held at KL Convention Center
on the 24 – 26 July 2009.

So I registered online making sure I get a seat to this expo. You never know!
Especially since they have a pretty impressive list of speakers at this event….
like Milan Doshi, Renesial Leong, etc.. just to name a few. The crowd could be huge!

The day came, park my car at KLCC and begin walking thru the tunnel.

I see the huge banner pointing to the expo. Just one Hall for this event.

Quite a number of prominent developers set up booth…
like Sime Darby, Titijaya, Glomac, etc..

Even non-developers took the opportunity to sell their services…
like banks, water purifier and even a radio station.

Despite the theme “Luxury”, not all property showcase are in the Millions price range.
“Luxury” is misleading since there are residential, commercial, retail lots, land, etc…
at mid-range price. IMO, better to just drop the “Luxury” word or replace it with “Rojak”.

There’s not much of a crowd in this event. Maybe because most of them are
all cramp in the speaker area. Plenty of seats arranged but most are already taken
by people or “magazines & papers” (a way of “booking” seats).

The speaker I listen to briefly was Yap Ming Hui (book author on financial stuff).
Not bad despite the half-an-hour delay due to technical issues.

Frankly I was a little disappointed, besides the impressive speaker line-up
there’s really nothing much else to see.

Could it be, my hopes was too high and expecting an event like PC Fair or Microsoft TechEd with lots of booth babes & free gifts? Still, I do feel there’s more stuff to see at similar events like MAPEX usually held in Mid-Valley.

Oh well, at least I got free mags from iProperty.
