"In addition to the education
offered at the Conference &
Expo, there are already twelve
educational programs on the
2017 CAI-NJ calendar..."
Plans are already underway by the 2017
Conference & Expo committee for this year’s
tradeshow.
If you live in or manage a condo association or HOA
you won’t want to miss the biggest Community Associations
Institute, New Jersey chapter event of the year, the
Conference & Expo, planned specifically with you in mind.
After the success of last year’s tradeshow which had the
highest attendance yet with almost 1,200 people on the
tradeshow floor, there is a lot of buzz and anticipation for
another successful event.
The Conference & Expo floor will be packed with almost
170 exhibits. It will be an excellent opportunity for you
to have questions concerning your community association
answered as well as shop for service providers and profes-
sionals that can assist you and your community homeown-
ers in maintaining a successful community association.
Mark your calendars and Save-the-Date for the 2017
CAI-NJ Annual Conference & Expo as it will take place
on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at the New Jersey
Convention and Exposition Center at Raritan Center, in
Edison New Jersey. Changing to the new venue will make
the tradeshow more accessible and convenient for our
attendees. The larger educational rooms will allow for
more seating and a new caterer will provide an updated
complimentary breakfast and lunch buffet.
As always, four educational programs will be offered,
one for each of our three member representation groups,
Community Association Volunteer Leaders, Community
Managers and Business Partners. The final program
offering will be the Legislative Update, a discussion on
legislative and regulatory issues affecting common interest

communities. Continued education credits will be available
for these programs.
The exhibitors are very excited to incorporate the
“Carnival” theme in their booths, making it a fun day for
all attending. And don’t forget, you will once again have
the opportunity to participate in the $5,000 cash drawings
throughout the day. Everyone will be entered into the five -
$1,000 cash drawings – one every hour!
New Educational Offerings Throughout the
Year.
In addition to the education offered at the Conference
& Expo, there are already twelve educational programs
on the 2017 CAI-NJ calendar, created specifically for our
members, by our members.
The Managers and Business Partners will join together to
present three roundtables in different areas of the state. A
southern roundtable will take place in mid-spring, a central
session during the summer and a northern session in the fall.
The Manager’s committee also plans on hosting the third in
the series of the Managers Leadership Workshop.
