With less than a month to go until Cambodia’s flagship 2nd CCA Building and Property Expo, many special seminars relevant to the construction and property sectors are being organised to encourage industry participation on a number of topics.

Scheduled for December 3-5, 2015 at the Diamond Island Exhibition and Convention Center, the expo is organised by the Cambodia Constructors Association (CCA) which represents constructors in Cambodia.

The 4th CCA Summit along with the grand opening ceremony will be presided over by H.E. Im Chhun Lim, Minister of Land Management Urban Planning and Construction; H.E. Pa Socheatevong, Phnom Penh Governor; Neak Oknha Pung Kheav Se, CCA Chairman; and representatives from local and international construction and property-related institutions and companies.

During the 3-day event, many public seminars focusing on hot topics in the construction and real estate industries will be available for interested people to attend for free.

Topics will include construction law, construction permits and building quality enhancement, ginaing investments incentives from the government, labor supply for the construction market, work permits for foreign building workers, plus many more. The sessions will be presented by officials representing the Ministry of Land Management Urban Planning and Construction, the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), the Board of Architects Cambodia (BAC), and the Board of Engineers Cambodia (BEC).

Private sector representatives such as the Cambodia Constructors Association (CCA), and the Cambodia Valuers and Estate Agents Association (CVEA) will also talk on particular issues relevant to their expertise.

The Australia Awards in Cambodia scholarship program will also present on post-graduate scholarship opportunities for Cambodian students to further their studies on construction and engineering-related Masters and PhDs in Australia.

Product introductions will also be presented by various local and international exhibitors to provide valuable, up-to-date info on developments in the two sectors. These will allow companies to seek potential business partnerships and gain useful insights on improving their competitive advantage in the market.

For the first time, the expo will also host a CCA Member-Exhibitor Business Networking Party on the second day from 4:00 to 8:00pm as a platform for exhibitors to match businesses with CCA members.

Featuring around 300 booths, the expo layout is divided into three sections: real estate firms, banks and insurers; construction material and decoration; and electrical, plumbing and water supply, machinery, mechanical and steel frames.

Turnout is expected to be high thanks to the association’s excellent local and international connections. The organiser predicts that this 2nd flagship Building and Property Expo will attract hundreds of thousands of local and international visitors and exhibitors.

By early October, over 85 percent of the booths had been booked, and many other firms are now close to signing exhibition contracts. Exhibiting at the trade fair can bring real benefits to firms, and the CCA encourages interested firms to sign up for booths to gain a unique opportunity to network with key players in their sector as well as to make contacts with new customers.
