MIDWEST MULTIFAMILY FORUM_1200-fixedagain

Join us at the 10th annual Marcus & Millichap / IPA Multifamily Forum: Chicago & the Midwest at the Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook on April 18, 2024. First held in 2013, the conference consistently brings together 350 – 450 multifamily executives each year from Chicago and from across the Midwest, as well as national multifamily owners, investors and developers active in Chicago and the Midwest markets.

This year, we look at new challenges and opportunities in the apartment industry in Chicagoland as well as Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. The conference addresses road blocks in the real estate capital markets today due to increased interest rates, as well as issues with rent growth (or lack thereof). We will also look at ongoing, chronic issues in new development, as well as the hunt for increasingly rare value-add deals that pencil out. With transactions and development slowing, we look at how to do more with your properties amid staffing shortages and new technology solutions.

Join hundreds of fellow owners, investors and developers on April 18 at the Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook for the Marcus & Millichap / IPA Multifamily Forum: Chicago & the Midwest for a day of in-person learning, idea sharing, deal making and networking. Remote access via webcast and recordings are also available. Sign up for the attendee list to set up meetings and connect with key contacts. And don’t miss the Welcome Reception on the evening of April 17.

Networking Reception

Welcome Reception:

The Welcome Reception will be held the evening prior to the conference at either the venue or a nearby location in Chicago. The location is to be announced. The reception runs from 5:00 to 7:00 pm and includes drinks and finger food. Dress is typically business casual. The Welcome Reception is not included in the conference registration fee and requires a separate paid registration.

Private Roundtables:

The Private Roundtable is a closed-door, invite-only, off-the-record group conversation among 12 to 15 handpicked, invited executives. Led by a chairperson, the session is 2 hours allowing for a candid conversation among peers to share information, compare notes and generate ideas on industry challenges. Topics are determined in the week prior to the conference and sourced directly from participants.

What participants get out of the Private Roundtable:
Participants love the roundtables because they offer an opportunity to get beyond the public information to a more in-depth solutions-focused conversation that is confidential. The goal is that everyone walks away a bit wiser with more tools in their toolbox, as well as some new or renewed connections. Private roundtables are more exclusive and include more senior executives. Private roundtable participants are considered “Featured Participants” and are listed in the event materials alongside other speakers.

Who can join a Private Roundtable:
Private Roundtable participants are selected in advance of the conference and require an invitation to join. Each roundtable participant must meet selection criteria of the specific roundtable to be considered for an invitation to that roundtable. If you do not meet the criteria, you can still gain access via sponsorship, pending availability. Sponsored spots on roundtables are extremely limited. Inquire with Samantha Williams at sam@greenpearlevents.com about joining a Private Roundtable.

Private Roundtable Schedule:

9:45 am – 11:15 am

Multifamily Operators Private Roundtable

Criteria: Heads of asset and property management either nationally or regionally in Chicago and from across the Midwest for portfolios greater than 1,000 units.

9:45 am – 11:15 am
