Summer is here, and so is another season of multifamily conferences and events. To help industry pros plan ahead, Multifamily Dive has compiled a list of these events, along with their dates, locations and areas of expertise.
Major education topics at these conferences will include new technology for property management and development, business strategies, building sciences and the future trajectory of the industry, especially as interest rates recede and housing industry regulation ramps up. A full list of conference information is located under the table.
Please check conference websites regularly, as details are subject to change and some dates have not yet been announced. Also remember to return here for updates and new information as we receive it from the organizers of multifamily’s most attended events.
