NEXT Talks
NEXT is a new kind of multifamily AI conference—one where you don’t just learn about the future, you build it. This is where innovative minds meet tactical execution. Attendees rotate between strategic Next Talks and hands-on Next Labs, focused on customer journey optimization and learning practical AI applications. It’s hands-on. It’s strategic. It’s What Wins.
Next Talks are short, focused sessions that anchor each day of the event. Delivered by industry leaders and innovators, these 30-minute talks are designed to challenge assumptions, introduce new ideas, and frame the “why” behind the “how” you’ll execute in Next Labs.
Multifamily NEXT is not just a conference. It's the launchpad for what's next.
NEXT Labs
Streamline operations with intelligent automation. Day One: Master 7 AI models and families. Understand and start optimizing AI usage and creating automated workflows. Day Two: Build personal and team text, voice, and multi-tasking chatbots, automate workflows, and create AI-powered knowledge bases that boost team productivity.
In this hands-on Two-Day Lab, you’ll build a customized customer journey map for one of your apartment communities—mapping key stages, identifying pain points, and applying the 4Es to optimize the experience. You’ll leave with a 90-day action plan and practical strategies to drive performance through more innovative, more human-centered design.
This is tactical journey optimization that Wins.
In these hands-on workshops, you will navigate AI implementation with confidence. Learn to evaluate, test, and govern AI tools for compliance, performance, and ROI. Build frameworks that ensure safe, effective AI adoption across your portfolio.
NEXT Labs
Where innovation meets implementation.
This isn’t a standard training or seminar series. It’s immersive, working sessions. You’ll build, test, and walk away with real multifamily tools—customized to your goals and ready to deploy.
It’s where innovation turns into action.
Next Labs offers real-time creation of functional AI and journey tools, with dual-expert instruction that combines strategic insight and hands-on AI tech skills.
These NEXT Labs provide the mindset and vision. The labs also provide you with the tools and execution. This is What Wins.
Each attendee will develop:
Everyone who touches a keyboard in multifamily.
Just like Microsoft Office isn’t built for one role—it’s built because executives, managers, coordinators, and assistants all need to create, communicate, and solve problems—Multifamily NEXT is built for every level of your organization.
Whether you’re managing 30 appointments at one property or orchestrating 300,000 resident interactions across a portfolio, you’re solving the same problems: speed, consistency, accuracy, and scale. You’re spending time on repetitive tasks that pull you away from the work that actually matters. You’re trying to respond quickly but can’t be everywhere at once. You’re managing brand voice across teams. You’re dealing with compliance. You’re racing against competitors who are already building AI into their operations.
The tools are the same. The impact scales with your organization.
A leasing agent at a small property learns the same template-building, chatbot-creation methodology as a regional director managing 50 properties. The difference? The regional director multiplies that knowledge across their entire team and portfolio—suddenly those 50 properties are running on consistent, AI-powered systems that free up dozens of hours weekly across the organization.
A portfolio owner sees how template standardization drives NOI across markets. An asset manager discovers how AI frees their team to focus on strategy instead of data gathering. A marketing coordinator builds their first chatbot and suddenly they’re not drowning in repetitive qualification tasks. A community manager uses AI to handle routine inquiries so they can focus on the relationships that matter.
You’re not attending because of your title. You’re attending because you have a competitive advantage to claim—regardless of where you sit in the organization.
Limited to 300 participants to ensure hands-on learning and meaningful connections with peers solving the same problems at every level.
NEXT Labs & Talks Learn and Work Tracks
What’s Now. What’s Next. What wins in customer experience?
This opening NEXT Talk sets the stage by exploring the latest shifts in expectations, emotional decision-making, and the role of AI in shaping the next generation of customer journeys. We’ll look at real-world examples and forecast how personalization, automation, and service design will define success in multifamily over the next five years.
This is where the future of multifamily begins.
Workshop Leader: Jamie Gorski
The difference between thriving and surviving lies in your ability to orchestrate experiences that residents value—and will pay for.
This isn’t another customer service seminar. It’s a strategic transformation NEXT Lab where you’ll build the systems that industry leaders use to dominate their markets.
THE JOURNEY ARCHITECTURE YOU’LL MASTER:
Through our proven Four Es Framework—Experience, Engagement, Empathy, and Evolution—you’ll transform every touchpoint from prospect search to lease renewal into a competitive advantage. But this goes beyond theory. You’ll build two parallel Reference Journeys that become your operational North Star:
The Resident Journey: Look → Lease → Live → Loyalty
WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY BUILD (Not Just Learn):
Day 1: Map your current reality, identify the friction points costing you money, and redesign them using the Four Es. Then step into our AI Lab to test and evaluate the actual tools reshaping multifamily—from predictive to dynamic personalization.
Day 2: Create your Reference Journeys, build data-driven insights that flag residents 90 days prior to move-out, and design the organizational structure necessary to scale excellence across your portfolio.
Complete journey maps with AI integration points identified
A scored evaluation of 10+ AI tools with your implementation priority list
Data-driven insights, calculating your specific ROI opportunity
