Southeast Asia's first Property Investing and Crowdfunding Expo is set to take place in Singapore later this year.
The event, organised by CoAssets, will take place on July 18-19 at the DBS Auditorium in Marina Bay Financial Centre. It aims to promote greater awareness on the potential of real estate crowdfunding in Asia, as well as connecting opportunity providers to crowdfunders.
Getty Goh, Chief Executive Officer of CoAssets, said: "Since CoAssets was launched in July 2013 we have been quite successful in growing the platform. However, one main challenge we face is to overcome the initial scepticism that some users have.
"Understandably, many people are not comfortable with the anonymity of dealing with opportunity providers via the Internet and would prefer to meet with the developers before considering funding their projects. This is especially important for real estate crowdfunding, as the amounts can be more substantial.
"We have found that having offline contact is an important step in gaining user confidence and that is what the inaugural Expo for Property Investing & Crowdfunding (EPIC) 2014 is meant to do."
Tickets for the event are now available, as are booths for interested exhibitors. Visit www.CoAssets.com/EPIC (http://www.CoAssets.com/EPIC) for more information.
