rganiser Fractional Life hopes that its forthcoming “Fractional Summit USA” is going to build on the success of its older sister event, the annual Fractional Summit Europe, which drew 275 delegates from around the world to London last year.
The fractional summit O
Fractional Summit USA will be held at the InterContintal Hotel Miami, and the theme of the conference is “New world, global landscape”. Delegates will be able to attend a range of sessions including individual speaker as well as group panel discussions from a wide range of worldwide experts. The two- day conference has been set up to allow
agents, developers, lawyers, fi nanciers and service providers to network, learn and exchange information and ideas. “Unlike other fractional real estate conferences,” says Fractional Life boss Piers Brown, “Fractional Summit USA will have a strong presence from the destination club sector, with Exclusive Resorts, Ultimate Escapes and Ritz-carlton Destination Club all contributing to the event.”
Highlights of the programme include a “Fractional 101” session which gives an in-depth introduction to all elements of fractional real estate for developers and agents looking to enter the sector. Day two opens with a keynote
address from Byrne Murphy, a US developer who specialises in introducing US real estate concepts to Europe such as designer retail outlet centres and “data hotels.”
Major topics to be covered include converting existing properties to fractional ownership; the value of rentals and exchange programmes; the future of the destination club industry; digital marketing and the legal aspects of fractional property.
And visitors should not miss the
summit’s “buyers’ panel” in which delegates can quiz exisiting fractional, PRC and destination club members on what made them buy, whether or not
