With capital markets in flux, operating costs rising, and artificial intelligence (AI) reshaping day-to-day operations, the multifamily industry is entering a new phase—one that takes center stage at the 2026 Multifamily Executive Conference.
Join multifamily owners, developers, and operators Nov. 3 to 4 at the VEA Newport Beach in Newport Beach, California, for a closer look at how the market is evolving—and how leaders are responding in real time.
Kicking off the event, industry economist Jay Parsons will deliver a keynote on the state of the multifamily industry, offering a data-driven look at the forces shaping the market. From supply-and-demand fundamentals to capital markets, pricing, and renter behavior, Parsons will break down where the sector stands today—and what owners, developers, and operators should be watching as the next phase of the cycle unfolds.
Beyond the keynote, sessions will dive into the forces reshaping multifamily performance—from rising utility costs and shifting capital flows to AI adoption and evolving renter expectations. Attendees will hear from industry leaders on protecting net operating income in a higher-cost environment, navigating today’s complex deal landscape, and identifying where to build, invest, and reposition in a rapidly changing market.
New this year, interactive roundtables will extend the conversation beyond the stage, giving attendees a forum to share perspectives, challenge ideas, and walk away with actionable takeaways.
