Top Multifamily Housing Events to Attend in 2024

Coming together as an industry to connect, learn and enjoy the shared experience conferences and tradeshows cannot be overstated. It is immensely valuable to each of us as individuals for our professional growth but also as an industry to push forward and embrace innovation. These critical events offer us a few days dedicated to sharing ideas, hands-on learning, engaging with vendors and healthy debate. Let’s not pretend they don’t also offer opportunity to have some fun & connect with colleagues on a more personal level that builds stronger relationships for the future.
