As the fair entered its second day, organizers aimed to provide an even broader range of exhibitions, expert engagements, and direct connections between attendees and businesses involved in the housing market.\n\nThe theme for the three-day event, running from August 21 to August 23, was \"Dream it. Explore it. Own it.\" On Day 2, attendees could engage with exhibitors, inquire about available options, and seek guidance as they sought to turn their housing aspirations into reality. Participants could interact with businesses specializing in home ownership, property investment, construction, building materials, and home improvement.\n\nProspective homeowners were particularly encouraged to leverage the fair to move beyond dreaming about owning a house to exploring the necessary products, services, and professional support to achieve that goal. Property investors and industry professionals could also utilize the platform to engage with businesses across Ghana's housing ecosystem.\n\nThe event, held in partnership with Republic Bank under the promise \"We’re the one for you!\" and powered by Drive EV GH, featured support from Virtual Security Africa, Akwaaba Building Materials, Lesh Fortune Ltd, MTN, Door Masters, Ayuda, Western Vilas, CTECHI Ghana LTD, Saint-Gobain Ghana, Sintex Tank, Interplast, and Clifton Homes.
