The II International Aquaculture Exhibition, ACUI 2006, that took place between the 5th and the 7th September in Vilagarcía de Arousa has became in an international reference for the aquaculture sector beating all the facts of the previous edition and keeping the highest professional level that was the real aim of the organization.

ACUI’06 surpass the expectations as the numbers show us more exhibitors, more represented countries and, last but not less, more professional visitors.

More than 8.000 professional visitors from 37 countries came to ACUI, that means a 30% increase over the first edition.

The exhibitor’s number also surpasses those of the first edition, from 118 in ACUI 2005 to 150 in ACUI 2006 and also with an increase in the number of companies and countries.

All these numbers reflect that the amount of commercial transactions have been very important and part of then were closed on the fair.

    Hyatt Regency Irvine Irvine, California United States

    Real Estate Media is proud to bring back for the 3rd consecutive year the Tenant In Common industry’s leading independent conference, RealShare TIC.

    There are more questions than answers surrounding the Tenant In Common market. What does 2008 have in store for the industry? Has the growth stopped or this just a temporary slowdown due to the state of the broader real estate market? How are sponsors financing their deals given the credit crunch? TIC industry participants discuss and debate the latest issues and trends affecting their business. Also, a discussion of the possible exemption from the Securities and Exchange Commission that, if approved, could allow commercial real estate brokers to be compensated for advising clients investing in securitized TIC deals will take place . What opportunities does the exemption pose for both commercial real estate brokers and those already involved in the TIC business (sponsors, broker-dealers and registered reps)? How will the real estate and securities worlds work together? What will the exemption mean for the TIC industry more broadly--will it be a source of new investors and equity for the TIC business that wouldn't otherwise have considered TIC deals?
