Oct. 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Perspective Magazine, the timeshare and fractional industry’s leading independent information provider, announces that Ragatz Associates, through its renowned Fractional Interest Conference, will be participating as a GNEX 2011 Supporter. The 1st Annual Global Networking Expo and Perspective Magazine Awards Gala will be held May 11th-12th, 2011 at the magnificent Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas.

“Ragatz Associates is fully supporting the forthcoming GNEX 2011.  Unlike other fractional interest conferences that compete with our own annual conference, it will bring together participants in the development community and not just service providers,” said Dr. Richard Ragatz, President, Ragatz Associates. “The central themes of ‘acknowledging the best’ and ‘sharing experiences’ are critically needed in the fractional interest industry.  Once again, Perspective Magazine is at the forefront of social media marketing and expertise.”

The networking expo will feature an exhibitor hall with creative workshops, in-depth networking sessions and areas for one-on-one meetings so business can be conducted. The event will also include a welcome reception, open networking time and the Perspective Magazine Awards Gala dinner where industry nominees will vie for the coveted title of “Best In The World”.

Ragatz Associates has long been a supporter of industry events such as GNEX 2011. The company prides itself on studying changes constantly occurring in our society and in the marketplace and advises clients about the implications for their projects. Recommendations are based on existing data, new research findings and on their extensive consulting experience over the past 36 years. The firm specializes in the shared-ownership industry including fractional interests, private residence clubs, destination clubs and resort timeshare.

“We are privileged to have Dr. Richard Ragatz supporting our event in its first year. As a global leader within the fractional ownership industry, the knowledge and insight that Ragatz Associates provides about the industry through the studies they produce around the world is second to none,” said Paul Mattimoe, President and CEO, Perspective Magazine.
