Who it is for

  • Marketing leaders Directors and VPs of marketing who want to hear what their executives and owners are thinking about for next year.
  • Operations Regional and senior operations leaders, since sessions cover rising operating costs, AI adoption and changing renter expectations.
  • Leasing Less of a fit for on-site leasing teams; the content is aimed at executives.

What a marketer could get out of it

  • A preview of the priorities your owners and executives could bring to next year's budget conversations.
  • Context on capital markets, costs and AI that could help you frame marketing spend in terms leadership already uses.
  • Peer conversations in the roundtables, which could be more useful than the stage sessions for specific problems.

Not a promise: what you get out of any conference depends on who you meet and what you bring back.

Tips

  • Go with two or three questions your leadership is already asking, and use the roundtables to compare notes.
  • If you are on the buying side of marketing technology, look at the separate Connections application for pre-set supplier meetings.
  • Write a one-page summary for your boss within a week of getting back.
