Fortunately, the purpose   of  the  CooperatorEvents  Expo  New  Jer-  sey is to provide a place for condo, HOA,   and co-op decision-makers to interact di-  rectly with exhibitors about the products   and services essential to every communi-  ty’s success, from paving to painting, and   parking to pest control. If your board or   association has been forced to put things   on hold over the last 19 months, or has   questions about where to go from here, the   Expo can help you get answers!  And speaking of which—in addition to   hundreds of exhibitor booths on the main   fl oor, the  educational seminars running   throughout the day are another reason   we’re thrilled to be back in-person this   year. Expert presenters and panelists from   every corner of the multifamily residential   sector will give attendees relevant, of-the-  moment insight on management, legal, fi -  nancial, and other hot-button issues.
