UPworld.com to host networking events in New York

UPworld, an online real estate and building business network, www.upworld.com, headquartered in New York City, is now hosting professional networking events on a quarterly basis in New York to bring professionals together not only online but also in person. These quarterly events allow members to meet face-to-face with other professionals, offering even more opportunity for UPworld members to establish valuable business and social connections. UPworld brings the following industries together on a single platform - real estate, planning, finance, development, design, construction, fabrication, and products. Events are also open to nonmembers, so professionals can come to learn more about UPworld, meet some of its members, and sign up for a free membership. Professionals RSVP for each event directly through UPworld's website. Additional professional networking events will be launched in other U.S. cities by 2008. UPworld is planning its next networking event for October 2007, co-hosted with the Young Real Estate Professionals of New York (YREPNY). Launched in February 2007, UPworld has already received press in the May 2007 issue of Architect Magazine and the July 2007 issue of the Real Deal and New York Real Estate Journal.
