3 Tips to Make the Most of Your Time at NAA Apartmentalize 2022

Apartmentalize 2022 is the biggest event in rental housing and if you don’t have a solid plan in place it can be overwhelming to navigate, but not to worry—we’ve got you covered!

As a California based company and a team who’s attended the event several years in a row, we know a thing or two about navigating the exposition floor, maximizing connections, and having fun like a local. With nearly 400 exhibitors, dozens of educational sessions, endless networking opportunities, and plenty of entertainment options, here’s three ways to get the most out of your time at Apartmentalize:

1. Attend Education Sessions to Stay on Top of Industry Trends

In the ever-changing landscape of emerging technologies, legislation, and trends, every rental housing professional needs to stay informed. With over 80 educational sessions (some of which take place at the same time), attendees should plan ahead and pick the most relevant ones.

Take a look at the full list of education sessions and utilize your NAA Planner to add the sessions to your calendar and stay on top of your schedule during the event.

A Session You Don’t Want to Miss: Understanding The Renter’s Economic Mind

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from multifamily veterans Hugh Cobb, Dave Marcinkowski, and Jeremy Thomason. Our SVP of Enterprise Sales, Ian McIntosh, will be moderating a lively discussion on the economic drivers of modern renters and best practices for implementing subscription-based amenities. This session will uncover how, when and where renters prefer to spend their money. Leave empowered to appeal to your renters’ new preferences.

2. Plan Your Visits With Exhibitors

With your education sessions planned, make sure to give yourself enough time for booth visits, appointments, and networking on the expo floor. Decide which exhibitor booths to visit ahead of time. Use the interactive Floor Plan tool to search by exhibitor, booth number, or product category. Your NAAPlanner will allow you to save exhibitors to your custom show agenda.

As the days on the exposition floor can be hectic, we also recommend finding time for deeper one-on-one conversations by scheduling appointments with your vendors of choice in advance.

Connect With LeaseLock at Booth 1613

This translates into customized coverage by asset, which is optimized against changing risk.

If dropkicking deposits sounds like a stress reliever for you, come meet us at Booth 1613. We’ve got plenty to share, from stress-free solutions, to swag, and exciting giveaways.
