Continuing Education for Boards & Managers

Mark your calendars and sharpen your note-taking pencils (or phone apps) —because on Thursday, December 8, the CooperatorEvents South Florida Expo returns to the Broward County Convention Center in Ft. Lauderdale from 10am to 4pm! 

Over the years, the Expo has become the premier trade event for anyone and everyone involved in South Florida’s condo, HOA, and co-op industry. One of the many reasons for that—along with the hundreds of vendors and service providers exhibiting on the main floor—is the Expo’s full roster of educational seminars and workshops. Expert presenters and panelists from every corner of the multifamily residential sector will be on-hand to give attendees relevant, of-the-moment insight on management, legal, financial, and other hot-button issues. These informative discussions are FREE for all Expo participants, and as in past years, will include state-accredited courses for board members, managers, and unit owners to satisfy the Florida Condominium and HOA legal requirements for board certification. 

Here’s this years lineup:
