This year's second Kenya Homes Expo will run from October 15 to 18 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi. It will be the event’s 22nd edition since it was inaugurated 12 years ago.

Organised under the the theme, “Secure your Dreams”, it aims  to recognise the range of products and services in the real estate, finance, construction and interior décor and design industry.

According to Mr Daniel Ojijo, the CEO and founder of Homes Universal, the real estate consortium that owns the Kenya Homes Expo, the exhibition gives individuals and companies the opportunity to develop clear perspectives, network, strike  business deals and make contacts. And through the exchange of ideas and information, they are able to keep abreast with the trends in East Africa and beyond.

“Having grown from humble beginnings 11 years ago at the Sarit Centre, the expo has maintained the lead as the most authoritative in East Africa, thanks to the strategy and expertise in the industry.”

The expo is held twice every year in order to keep up with the ever-evolving trends in the industry. Its success has been partly attributed to the real estate boom recorded in the last few years.
