The Multifamily Leadership™ Summit | Where Innovation, Technology and Leadership Converge. 

Helping you Become the Company Everybody Loves. Innovate your Business, Engage your Teams, and Grow your Company.

Multifamily Executive Leaders make the scene in Scottsdale, Arizona to design the future of multifamily and together collaborate with informal talks about managing the apartment of the future, shifting paradigms on the future of leasing and the power of leveraging people as their last real competitive advantage.

Multifamily operators are aware that changes are under way and are attempting to transform themselves accordingly. A leader’s toughest decisions are around people and their changing roles in an organization. Jobs, the resident experience, operations, and capital structures are changing. The most important factor for success for the Multifamily Executive of the Future is bringing Multifamily Real Estate fundamentals together with innovation, leadership, and technology.

Top Multifamily Executives come together in a one of a kind leadership summit to Reinvision the Leasing Experience and design fresh ideas for the future of Multifamily

The industry’s 4th Annual Multifamily Leadership Summit™ will host the “best of the best" in Leadership to charter the future of Multifamily. Together, building a robust, sustainable leadership summit that is built around a long term vision and innovation.

What past attendees are saying...

What did you find most useful or enjoyable at the Multifamily Leadership Summit?

Loved the fact that you had time to speak with the clients.  You had one on one time in a very intimate setting.  Great content, great setting and different. – Bry Carter, Costar Group- Apartments.com

The forward looking thought leadership of the speakers, energy of the event, and overall disruptive tone. – Eric Broughton, Co-Founder, CEO ApartmentJet.com

The format was great.  Having the hike 1st and then the VIP lunch and Property tours on the 1st day gave us time to meet in a team building format.  It helped having these relationships going into the next day of meetings.  I liked that there were not tracks so we all got to hear the same speakers.  The topics were unique and forward thinking which gave us a lot to talk about at the show and think about moving forward after the show. – Heather Calderone, Regional VP of Sales ResMan

What would you say to another Multifamily Executive about the Multifamily Leadership Summit and what it's done for you?

I would take the time to do this again, it was worth hearing the really outside the box ideas in our industry and hear from leaders in the industry. – Bry Carter, Costar Group- Apartments.com

It’s a great opportunity to hear about what your competition is doing or about to do.  How can you afford to not know? – Tom Gywn, President Apartment Dynamics

If you want to know where the Multifamily industry is heading in the next 3 – 5 years this is the place to be. – Eric Broughton, Co-Founder, CEO ApartmentJet.com

I have never left a show with the relationships that I developed over this one.  I also got a lot out of the speakers and really liked the Market update, Mike from Lease Hawk on disruption and our Key note on Corporate Culture.  The panels were terrific as well, I like the mix of property management professional perspectives mixed with supplier perspectives.  – Heather Calderone, Regional VP of Sales ResMan

The Summit introduced innovative ideas to our team and made us truly think about what the future of our industry and the future or our personnel will look like.  We are on the cusp of radical change and if we don’t embrace it our teams could fall significantly behind.  – Stephanie Graves, CEO Q10 Property Advisors

In this highly competitive environment, Company culture can make or break success; however, very few multifamily companies have an intentional, purposeful, culture.  This conference not only provided me with a lot of information to improve our culture but it also connected me with other multifamily executives that are equally passionate about Company culture. – Dan Berger, President Berger Rental Communities

What has your single greatest take away been from the summit?

Had a chance to really talk to clients- most of the time I am in a rush or they are.  Bry Carter, Costar Group- Apartments.com

Validation that we are doing a lot of things right.  Our goal has always been to treat our employees the way we would want to be treated.  It’s hard to obtain a true picture of that, but with Multifamily Leadership’s survey we now have real results.  I was extremely pleased to find we remained in the top five companies. Tom Gywn, President Apartment Dynamics

Major disruption is coming to the Multifamily industry. – Eric Broughton, Co-Founder, CEO ApartmentJet.com

Getting me to think about where the industry is going.  I liked not having a tradeshow so that I was able to attend all the discussions and hear what my clients and prospects were hearing. – Heather Calderone, Regional VP of Sales ResMan

Connections with other industry leaders.  The small talk during breaks quickly turned into valuable speak on patterns we all see emerging in our industry. -Stephanie Graves, CEO Q10 Property Advisors

How has the networking been helpful to move your business forward?

Met at least four contacts that are upper management that would have never met outside of this event.  Bry Carter, Costar Group- Apartments.com

We left with multiple old decisions not to do something in a new light.  Because of the conference, we will strongly consider moving forward with some of them. Smart Homes, AirBnB, etc. Tom Gywn, President Apartment Dynamics

Met a few key potential clients that I’d met before but was able to reconnect given the collaborative nature of the conference. –Eric Broughton, Co-Founder, CEO ApartmentJet.com

As a newer software solution, it got people to think about why they are stuck on using the largest/oldest solutions out there and that change can be good.  -Heather Calderone, Regional VP of Sales ResMan

I met some great people that are equally passionate about culture and improving themselves and their companies. I plan to connect with these executives after the conference to share ideas/best practices. – Dan Berger, President Berger Rental Communities

 

What would you say to someone who is on the fence about attending the Multifamily Leadership Summit?

Take the time to research.  This is not your typical conference.  It looks smaller so you think not as relevant but in reality it has great people attending, great content and a wonderful atmosphere.  Bry Carter, Costar Group- Apartments.com

It is a great conference that for networking and exchanging ideas.   The size and the format of the conference put us in situations where there was real time for real conversations with other leaders.  Attendees were spoke freely about what they were doing well and not so well. Tom Gywn, President Apartment Dynamics

Only attend if you are ready to expand your mind. Attendance and participation will change how you look at our industry.The event had the feeling of a next generation summit or conference. Very different vibe. Eric Broughton, Co-Founder, CEO ApartmentJet.com

I have actually spent a lot of time talking this event up since I came home.  I went to dinner with a group of friends from Apartment Association.  Other Multifamily Leadership Summit attendees were there with me as well. We all spoke very highly of the event and had a group of both suppliers and property management people say they wanted to get involved. -Heather Calderone, Regional VP of Sales ResMan

It’s one of the most power packed, yet laid back few days you’ll spend stretching your brain and connecting with leaders.-Stephanie Graves, CEO Q10 Property Advisors

This conference is very different from the other apartment industry conferences.  If you are looking to improve your employee engagement, improve your culture, and be more profitable, you should attend. – Dan Berger, President Berger Rental Communities
