One of the premier events in multifamily is only a few weeks away, and here are some can't-miss sessions that I am looking forward to.  

Share the sessions you are excited about below, and feel free to reach out via the OPTECH app to connect directly!

Fast Pitches: Marketing, Leasing & Resident Experience Tech 

The perennial OPTECH favorite is back but with a curve-ball: you now don't have to choose just one! They're spread out across the conference so you can hear from all the startups in all the categories if you want.

Of course, as the emcee of the Marketing, Leasing, and Resident Experience Tech Fast Pitch room, I am partial to this particular session, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

Tech Stack Strategies for Small and Midsize Operators: The Rest of Us Edition 

OPTECH is great for seeing the shiniest tech and hearing how the giants use it—but what about the other 90% of us? If your portfolio is smaller (and your budget is too), this session is for you. We'll talk smart, scrappy ways to build a tech stack that fits your size, your spend, and your sanity.

FuturesLab: Rise of the Robots 

Dive into this rapid-fire session on how robots are crashing the multifamily scene and rewiring the future of real estate.

RETTC⚡DC and Beyond: Fee Transparency 

Brought to you by NMHC-RETTC PAC: Rental fee transparency streamlines operations and delivers improved resident experiences. As a growing number of states and localities implement regulations enforcing rental fee transparency, this session will quickly get you up to speed on emerging trends and an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

CX Technology Workshop: Data Meets Renter Reality 

Think your CX tech strategy is on point? Let's find out. RETTC and RealFoundations reveal fresh CX Tech Survey results—showing where the industry's investing and what's actually working. Then, hear it straight from renters: what they love, what frustrates them, and how your tech lands in real life. Walk away with clear next steps, fresh ideas, and maybe a reality check or two.

RETTC⚡DC and Beyond: A.I. and Fair Housing 

Brought to you by NMHC-RETTC PAC: Artificial intelligence is transforming rental housing—making operations more efficient, services more responsive, and housing more accessible. As real estate tech leaders, we see AI as a powerful lever to driving solutions to the nation's long-standing housing challenges, but must also be aware of its risks and the evolving regulatory landscape that is emerging at the intersection of AI & housing policy. Join us for a landscape review of the latest regulatory activities impacting resident screening and Fair Housing.
