Hello BPers ,
As we all know this game is a relationship game, and one of the most common ways to do that is by attending conferences. I’ve notice there are quite a few that are held all throughout the year by some of the big names in this space (Michael Blank, Dan Handford, Rob Khleif, etc...).
Wanted to ask you all which multifamily/apartment investing conference have you gotten the best return out of , or has added the most value to you and your team?

There are so many quality multifamily events out there, it really comes down to what you're looking to get out of it.
I believe the biggest meeting of the year is the NMHC annual meeting usually held in January and alternatives which coast it is held on (Orlando or San Diego typically). It is attended by the biggest players in the multifamily space (owners, brokers, lenders, service providers, etc). I believe it requires a membership which is in the range of $10k last time I checked.
However if you're looking for more educational content, network with peers, raise money, etc there are better events out there including all that have been mentioned.

Following. I recently went to the IMN in Atlanta, that was a high quality event, in terms of the people participating as well as the many panelists. But I haven't been to many other MF events.

Well, I have to start out with the conference that I am hosting - the Northstar Real Estate Conference in April. I also liked Multifamily Mastery and the Raising Money Summit. IMN has conferences all over the US and do a solid job as well.

I think the nice wing is that it is small group and will be able to network with folks. Also, multiple days. You will get to meet a lot of talented folks. Send me a message can give a coupon to save some funds. Hope to see you there.

There are many great events but choosing the best depends on what your goals are for attending. I've been to the Best Ever Conference each year and highly recommend it (I also have a discount code if anyone wants it). Prices have gone up this year, but the caliber of people there will rise along with it.
I host the Midwest Real Estate Networking Summit and our next event is May 16 and 17. This is not exclusive to multifamily, but we do have a large multifamily audience and network of speakers. This is geared towards Midwest investors.
Jake and @Gino Barbaro do a great event. I have not been able to attend personally, but have heard great things from many others.
@Todd Dexheimer just hosted his Northstar event to strong reviews.
Adam A. Adams has informative events throughout the year with a great list of speakers.
I have not been to Michael Blank's event, but have heard there is great networking available.
Then there are more commercial/industry events like NMHC and IMN, which are great for connecting with brokers and institutional players.

I personally like going to meetup events in my local area. Then I’m meeting people who are locals and can be in my network long term. Local passive investors also are at these events.
I went to BP this year and it was fun to meet all the BP celebs. In general I get more value networking locally than from national conferences.

I have a hard time paying big money for an event plus the airfare and hotel. I know it is all tax deductible but there are so many events that the costs add up.
I enjoyed Ultimate Partnering in Boston over the summer.
Rod Khleif in Baltimore was the best event that I have ever been to.
Next year I am looking at possibly doing Rod in LA in Jan.

To chime in, I went to Michael Blank's event last year. While it was good, the only piece of advice I would give is focus on the quality of relationship rather than the quantity. If I did it over again, I would spend more time with people and not be focused on meeting as many people as I could.

This is an incredible conference , they walk you through actual deals and provide all the spreadsheets they utilized for Proformas, how to assess t12s , and walking you through all steps to getting the mortgage real underwritten, It is about 4 or 5 evenings over a month period , 10-2 hours total with real people who , acquired and got financing on their multi family properties.
The included free takeaways from basic investor distributions and syndications , to more complex waterfall models — the proprietary spreadsheets are worth the admission price alone.
