RCI and The Registry Collection are Diamond Sponsors for Shared Ownership Fractional Summit Middle East 2011

Leading luxury fractional ownership brand and fractional conference and exhibition organiser Fractional Life is delighted to announce that luxury fractional real estate exchange programme The Registry Collection and its parent company RCI have been confirmed as Diamond Sponsors for the second Shared Ownership Fractional Summit Middle East, which will be held at the stunning Burj Al Arab hotel on November 21 2011.

The event, which was launched last year, is designed to promote awareness of shared and fractional ownership real estate in the MENA region, and to enable industry professionals to make new business contacts and share best practice. It builds on the success of the inaugural event, which set the standard for fractional ownership conferences and highlighted the exciting potential for growth in the Gulf.

Dimitris Manikis, vice president of business development at RCI, said:"We're delighted to be sponsoring the Shared Ownership Fractional Summit Middle East for a second year. The MENA region has huge potential for shared ownership in all its various forms, and the conference will enable both experienced industry professionals and potential newcomers to the sector to get together, make new contacts and share their experiences in a truly stunning location."

Event organiser Piers Brown said: “It's great news that RCI is supporting our second Middle East event. At Fractional Life we share RCI's goal of growing the fractional and shared ownership markets, so we're very pleased to be able to pursue that goal alongside them in the extremely exciting MENA region.”
