NAA Conference

By on Jun 9, 2014 in News

Yardi is proud to be a Diamond Sponsor of the National Apartment Association’s Education Conference & Expo, set for Denver, Colo. later this month. This dynamic event is one of the most anticipated multifamily shows of the yeaNAAJuner, promising exceptional opportunities for learning, engagement, inspiration and fun.

Famous speakers are always part of the NAA experience, and this year’s opening address will be given by actor Michael J. Fox.  The day two general session will feature Barbara Corcoran and Kevin Harrington, hosts of the popular ABC business pitch show “Shark Tank.” Like on the show, entrepreneurs will make their case for why their business is worthy of funding support. The winner of the contest will walk away with a $5,000 prize – and the audience will help chose the winner.

Even if won’t be pitching your best invention in Denver, there are still plenty of takeaways to look forward to, including the following. Don’t miss:

-The opportunity to learn how to improve your multifamily pricing with the “Next Evolution of Revenue Management” session. Including insight from Ron Brock, Industry Principal/Pierce Eislen, you’ll discover how to better use industry and local benchmarks against your own property data sets. Key performance indicators will help your operations team  gain valuable business intelligence and maximize your revenue. (Friday, June 20, 2:15 p.m.)

-Two excellent chances to ramp up your property marketing using mobile and converged media. Yardi’s Esther Bonardi, Industry Principal, Marketing Solutions, is always on the cutting edge of the latest trends. She’ll deliver two sessions – “Eight Mobile Marketing Trends You Can’t Afford to Miss” (Friday, June 20, 11 a.m.) and “Smart Marketing: Converged Media Management” (Thursday, June 18, 8:30 a.m.) See the official conference planner for locations and to schedule all of your sessions.

-Last month we shared with you how to best maximize your time at conferences, and remembering to take a break once in awhile was one of our best practice tips. Yardi helps make it easy with our Yardi Energize Bar, located in our booth at the Expo Hall (No. 800). Come by for a snack, charge your phone and say hi. While you’re there, be sure to enter to win a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses – we’ll be giving away some sweet shades on Thursday, June 19.

-Finally, you won’t want to leave Denver without learning about our latest flagship product release. Yardi Voyager 7S has now been implemented by more than 1,000 of our valued clients, who love its browser and device agnostic capability, cloud-based software, and all of the powerful reporting tools you’ve come to expect from Yardi products. You have two opportunities to check out a product demo – Thursday, June 19 from 2 to 6 p.m. or Friday, June 20 from 11:15 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Yardi booth.
