Join us at the Marcus & Millichap / IPA Multifamily Forum: Northern California 2024 at the Crowne Plaza Foster City – San Mateo on September 26, 2024. First held in 2013, the conference consistently brings together 500+ multifamily executives from across California, as well as national multifamily owners, investors and developers active in California markets.
This year, we look at new challenges and opportunities in the regional apartment industry today. The conference addresses road blocks in the real estate capital markets today due to sustained higher interest rates, as well as issues with rent growth (and declines). We will also look at ongoing, chronic issues in new development, as well as the market for acquisitions and dispositions of existing apartment properties. Other topics addressed: multifamily asset & property management, new technology & AI, design changes, regulatory challenges and more.
Join hundreds of fellow owners, investors and developers on September 26 at the Crowne Plaza Foster City – San Mateo at the Northern California Multifamily Forum 2024 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 September 25.

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 Foster City. The location is to be announced. The reception runs from 5:30 to 8:00 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.
