Real estate entrepreneurs, AI innovators, and hundreds of representatives of multifamily owners will meet at the AIM Conference 2026 this May 3rd–6th at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach.
Created for multifamily housing professionals, the conference today has grown into a key gathering point for real estate owners, operators and tech providers to discuss the future of the industry.
AIM’s core is deeply rooted in the apartment real estate sector. The organization’s focus spans the full renter lifecycle, from digital discovery and leasing to resident retention and smart building operations.
Attendees, including hundreds of decision-makers from multifamily portfolios, will meet to address operational challenges, adopt new technologies, and improve the overall resident experience in an increasingly competitive rental market.
AI in particular is set to play a key role at this year’s event, with Anurag Sakhamuri, AI Deployment Engineer at OpenAI, speaking there, among other tech leaders. This is to be expected, with the technology rapidly transforming how real estate is marketed and managed.
AI-powered leasing assistants, predictive analytics for occupancy rates, and automated communication platforms are becoming essential tools for property managers. These technologies are enabling more personalized renter journeys while improving efficiency across large-scale apartment portfolios.
Sessions throughout the conference will highlight how operators can integrate AI into marketing funnels, optimize conversions, and deliver data-driven resident experiences.
One of the key draws at this year’s event will certainly be legendary real estate tycoon Barbara Corcoran.
Her involvement brings a unique perspective that bridges real estate entrepreneurship with innovation. Known for her background in building a real estate empire and later investing in startups, Corcoran represents a link between traditional property investment and today’s technology-driven apartment ecosystem.
AIM’s structure further reinforces its role as a deal-making and strategy-focused event. With roundtables, reverse trade shows, and private meetings, the conference is designed to foster meaningful business conversations rather than passive attendance. For proptech ventures, this creates a rare environment where solutions can be directly evaluated by apartment owners and operators actively seeking tools to modernize operations.
Among the companies to be in attendance is Get Covered, one of the industry’s most promising ventures operating at the intersection of fintech, insurtech, and multifamily housing. The company is focused on simplifying insurance access for renters and property managers, addressing a longstanding friction point in the apartment leasing process.
Get Covered’s presence at AIM underscores how innovations are reshaping the apartment ecosystem, particularly in areas like risk management, compliance, and resident onboarding.
Wrote Erica Janke, the company’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, “Get Covered is heading to the AIM Conference from May 3–6, and I couldn’t be more excited to catch up with all our partners and friends. If you’re looking to streamline your ops and protect your assets while the sun sets over the Pacific, let’s connect!”
Beyond individual companies, the conference will discuss major trends redefining apartment real estate.
Topics such as centralized leasing operations, smart building technologies, and data-driven marketing strategies reflect a sector undergoing rapid transformation.
As the rental housing market continues to evolve, AIM Conference 2026 stands out as a key forum where real estate fundamentals meet technological innovation. To learn more about this year’s event, visit: https://www.aimconf.com/agenda2026
