We are at the precipice of rapid change in multifamily, and the stakes haven’t been higher in over a decade. AI is changing FAST, with new developments with large language models, it's a topic that will change every industry in unique ways.Operators need to run their businesses with greater efficiency. Many are turning their attention toward AI, automation, and centralization. Implement these strategies fast and avoid common pitfalls by learning from your peers at The Forum (both what TO do and what NOT to do).

If that wasn’t enough, renter expectations, and operating costs continue to rise while demand for apartments and rent prices flatten.

Team turnover continues to be a challenge for the industry, buy shifting to new specialized roles is a solution many operators are finding helps teams play to their strengths, and as a result, stay longer. This shift is causing communities to compete for renters, and often experience is the differentiator.

Consumer expectations are high. The stakes for owners, operators, and managers are higher.

The Forum brings together multifamily executives from companies of all sizes and ownership structures to unpack the three industry pillars: AI + automation, centralization, and employee experience. Some are Funnel customers, many are not customers. The content is valuable, regardless of if you use our products.

The agenda and location were thoughtfully selected to bring together small, intimate, groups of like-minded professionals to have honest roundtable discussions about what’s working, what isn’t and what needs to shift for our industry’s long-term success.

And, as a bonus, there will be jaw-dropping scenery, exceptional food and drinks, thoughtful networking, and entertainment.

Your in-person pass to The Forum includes the following:
All conference sessions: Our sessions will be packed with actionable items you can take back to your department and put to use immediately.

Last year we had 99 attendees, from 49 property management companies, who represented 12% of professionally managed apartments in the country. This year we hope to see both Forum Alumni, as well as new faces as we look to have roughly 50% more attendees present.

If you attended our inaugural event, are invited to speak on a panel, or are buying three or more tickets, yes, we can provide a discount. Due to great interest and demand to attend the Forum we will not provide other discounts.

The things our alumni know and love — great content, a knowledgeable community of operators, and spectacular location — will be back. In addition, we have: two acclaimed guest speakers throughout the conference, and a performance from a popular band that you’ll love. Additionally, we started a new dedicated user track that we are calling “Funnel University” to help you get the most out of Funnel, or learn about the products you may be interested in.
