MFE Conference 2019 | Cvent | 2 October 2019 | Bellagio Hotel and Casino, 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA

The ground is shifting. A turning point is here. Consumers, capital flow, costs, the talent pipeline, and regulatory controls all are in flux creating a new spectrum of challenge. Along with these changing forces, there are exponential technological and data accelerants, both enabling and disruptive.

Multifamily’s success during the past eight years at meeting the needs and desires of renters-by-choice has highlighted a no-fly zone of unmet market need, among renters-by-necessity. Working households of average means find fewer and fewer housing options in more and more metros and markets, creating untapped opportunity.

Developers, operators, management firms, investors, and their partners need to pivot. They have no choice but to build, value-add, or repurpose structures and communities for a greater universe of working households, or face a shrinking pie of demand to slice up.

The conference offers a refreshed agenda for a new, more challenging era. Rent control, snowballing costs, hard-to-find and retain talent, and moving-target consumer demand are multifamily’s new normal.

Collective action, collaborative new approaches to technology, shared data, and a new ecosystem of trusted, strategic partners stand as solutions, tactics, and a roadmap to the 2020s. Micro level success may hinge on macro-level effectiveness on educating Americans that multifamily rental communities are America’s attainable housing.

This two-and-one-half day curriculum offers leaders, operators, investors, strategists, and managers a place to accelerate the pace of discovery, spotlight opportunity for action, and plot their organization’s path forward.

The conference will put you in the position to:

• Compare economics notes and develop strategies to address future supply and demand.
• Understand renter preferences and manage for future expectations.
• Learn from best practices in risk management and identifying opportunities.
• Restructure operations to leverage strengths and marry with new partnerships.
• Strengthen your internal culture to attract and retain talent.
• Be active in conversations on process innovations.
• Build a resilient structure to flexibly react to the digital transformation.
