We have moved the conference from early May to mid-August, allowing more time to plan, address new health and safety protocols, and create an approach that complies with federal, state, and local regulations, while also allowing additional time for more extensive distribution of vaccines to the general population.
COMMUNITY MANAGERS | MANAGEMENT COMPANY EXECUTIVES
PRODUCT AND SERVICE PROVIDERS | ASSOCIATION BOARD MEMBERS
Through shared perspectives, experience and knowledge, a strong peer network is one of the best resources for creating community legacies. Shape your future success and strengthen your personal and professional connections by meeting colleagues from around the world and building on their collective wisdom.
The Annual Conference features plenty of opportunities to develop connections and expand your network with small-group interactions and large social events. Receptions, meetings, exchanges and ShopTalks offer a variety of venues for advancing ideas and cultivating the professional contacts that can be as critical to success as education and experience.
