Buyers spend months sourcing suppliers that can serve multifamily portfolios at scale. Suppliers spend just as long trying to reach the people who specify products and make purchasing decisions. The Multifamily Exchange solves both challenges with two days of pre-matched, one-on-one meetings at the Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad. Request your invitation today.

Before the event, every attendee completes a profile and ranks who they want to meet. Schedules are built from mutual interest, so each conversation is a potential partnership, not a cold introduction.
who’s in the room
Everyone is vetted before arrival. Buyers earn their seat through active projects and real purchasing authority; suppliers are screened for fit with what those buyers are sourcing.
your home base
A Forbes Five-Star resort overlooking the Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad. Spend your downtime enjoying the award-winning Miraval Life in Balance Spa, championship golf, coastal hiking trails, multiple dining venues, and easy access to Southern California’s beaches.
beyond the meetings
The best deals often take shape off-schedule. Connect over chef-driven dining, scenic outdoor experiences, or a round of golf—where a first meeting becomes a lasting relationship.
The productivity and efficiency was superior to any conference I’ve ever attended… I plan on moving forward with some of these new connections immediately.

QUESTIONS
The Multifamily Exchange Orlando is a hosted buyer event for the multifamily housing industry. It connects apartment developers, owner-operators, value-add and renovation teams, and property management companies with the manufacturers and suppliers who serve multifamily construction and capital improvements. Rather than working a trade-show floor, attendees meet in pre-scheduled, one-on-one sessions built to help buyers evaluate products and form lasting supplier partnerships.
The Multifamily Exchange brings together two groups. On one side: multifamily developers, owner-operators, asset and renovation teams, and property management professionals actively sourcing for new construction, unit renovations, and portfolio-wide programs. On the other: a carefully vetted group of manufacturers and suppliers who serve multifamily at portfolio scale.
Attendance is intentionally limited and every person in the room is pre-qualified, so your time goes to people genuinely relevant to your work.
Supplier packages include guaranteed one-on-one meetings with qualified multifamily decision-makers, hotel accommodations, hosted meals, airport transfers, and media and branding opportunities that extend your visibility beyond the event. Higher tiers add enhanced buyer-experience perks, giving you extra touchpoints with decision-makers outside your scheduled meetings. Multiple package options are available to fit different goals and budgets.
Schedules are built from your submitted rankings, active projects, and mutual relevance. Ahead of the event, every attendee shares which categories, companies, and project types matter most to them—whether that’s ground-up development, value-add renovations, or ongoing portfolio procurement. Our system uses that input to assemble personalized meeting schedules that honor your preferences while ensuring the strongest overall fit across the room.
Suppliers can add team-member passes depending on their investment tier—a great way to bring a sales or technical specialist who adds depth to your meetings. Buyer guest attendance is one seat per qualified individual, though we encourage you to refer colleagues who may also qualify.
Buyer guests include multifamily developers, owner-operators, general contractors, value-add and repositioning teams, affordable and workforce housing organizations, and property management companies with real purchasing or specification authority. If you influence what gets specified or bought for multifamily projects and portfolios, you belong here. Our team reviews every application to ensure the right fit for all attendees.
Multifamily buyers—developers, operators, and renovation or asset teams—with purchasing or specification authority are hosted as our guests. Suppliers who provide products or services relevant to multifamily construction, renovation, and management are welcome to invest in a sponsorship package. Submit your information and our team will confirm fit and walk you through next steps.
For qualified buyer guests, yes—we handle everything: hotel accommodations, travel, all meals, and evening events and entertainment are fully covered. Supplier packages include airport transfers, hotel accommodations, and all meals throughout the event, plus full access to evening events and entertainment.
