Hi Jeremy - could you elaborate. We went to the one in Sept at NEC and found it very useful. Talk sessions by the likes of Amanda Lamb with chance to ask questions. It was exhibition not show. Lots of different agents etc exhibiting.

I went to the Inter Housing Expo 2007 last year in Hurghada. It very informative. I would recommend it to everyone in town at that time that is looking to purchase in Hurghada, or even for those who already have. You can get a very good view in one place at one time on the developments in Hurghada. You can compare side by side, and get your questions answered.
