The real estate industry has no shortage of technology, service providers, and new solutions competing for your attention.

What most owners and operators don't have is time.

Time to sift through hundreds of vendors. Time to sit through countless demos. Time to take dozens of exploratory meetings that may or may not be relevant to their business.

That's where RETCONNECT changes the game.

RETCONNECT is RETCON's exclusive hosted meetings program designed specifically for owners, operators, developers, and investors who want to make the most of their time onsite. Rather than spending days walking the exhibit hall hoping to stumble upon the right solution, RETCONNECT helps facilitate curated, pre-scheduled meetings with companies that align with your goals, challenges, and priorities.

The result? Less time searching. More time solving.

TURN THREE DAYS INTO A YEAR OF VALUABLE INTRODUCTIONS

One of the biggest challenges facing real estate leaders today is staying ahead of an industry that is evolving faster than ever.

From AI and automation to operational efficiency, resident experience, smart building technology, portfolio optimization, data strategy, and capital markets, the number of potential solutions available has exploded.

RETCONNECT helps cut through the noise.

Prior to the event, participants complete a profile outlining their responsibilities, business objectives, current initiatives, and areas of interest. Our team then works to match attendees with relevant partners based on those priorities.

Instead of taking random meetings, you'll sit down with companies that are aligned with your specific needs and business goals.

Whether you're evaluating new technologies, looking to improve operations, exploring resident engagement tools, modernizing infrastructure, reducing expenses, or identifying investment opportunities, RETCONNECT helps ensure your conversations are productive from the start.

MEET THE RIGHT PEOPLE FASTER

The most valuable thing at any conference isn't the coffee, the swag, or even the sessions.

It's the people.

RETCONNECT accelerates the relationship-building process by introducing you directly to companies and decision-makers that can help move your business forward.

These aren't cold introductions. They're curated conversations designed around mutual interest and business alignment.

Many attendees spend months trying to secure meetings with industry leaders, technology providers, and strategic partners. RETCONNECT creates an environment where those conversations happen naturally and efficiently.

Instead of sending follow-up emails after the conference hoping someone responds, you'll already have meaningful conversations scheduled before you even arrive.

MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME AWAY FROM THE OFFICE

Every owner and operator knows that attending a conference comes with an opportunity cost.

Projects continue moving. Teams need support. Properties still need to operate.

When you invest time attending an event, every hour matters.

RETCONNECT helps ensure that your schedule is filled with high-value interactions rather than uncertainty.

Participants arrive at RETCON with a personalized meeting schedule already built, allowing them to maximize every day onsite while still having time to attend educational sessions, networking events, roundtables, and receptions.

Instead of spending valuable conference hours figuring out who to meet, you can focus on having the conversations that matter most.

DISCOVER SOLUTIONS BEFORE VERYONE ELSE

Many of the most innovative companies in real estate use RETCON as a platform to introduce new products, technologies, and strategies to the market.

RETCONNECT provides owners and operators with direct access to these innovations before they become widely adopted.

For attendees focused on gaining a competitive advantage, these conversations can provide valuable insights into emerging trends, operational best practices, and technologies that are already driving results across the industry.

The goal isn't simply to learn what's new.

It's to understand what's working.

RECEIVE EXCLUSIVE HOSTED BUYER BENEFITS

Beyond the meetings themselves, RETCONNECT participants receive additional benefits designed to enhance their conference experience.

Qualified participants may receive complimentary registration, exclusive networking opportunities, dedicated meeting spaces, concierge support, and access to VIP experiences throughout the event.

The program is designed to make attending RETCON as valuable and seamless as possible for busy real estate professionals.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS THAT EXTEND BEYOND RETCON

The most successful attendees don't judge an event by what happens during the conference.

They judge it by what happens afterward.

The best partnerships, technology deployments, investment opportunities, and business relationships often begin with a single conversation.

RETCONNECT is designed to create those conversations.

By bringing together owners, operators, investors, and innovative solution providers in a structured environment, the program creates opportunities for meaningful connections that continue long after RETCON ends.

THE SMARTER WAY TO EXPERIENCE RETCON

RETCON has always been about bringing together the people shaping the future of real estate.

RETCONNECT takes that mission one step further.

Rather than leaving valuable introductions to chance, RETCONNECT ensures owners and operators spend their time meeting the people, companies, and innovators most relevant to their business.

If you're attending RETCON 2027 and want to maximize your time, expand your network, discover new solutions, and create meaningful business opportunities, RETCONNECT is the smartest way to experience the event.
