What We’re Looking For

FAA is focused on how individuals and ­companies can stay relevant through professional growth and development, no matter their experience or career level. FAA wants to provide sessions with practical solutions to common challenges that will have long-term career value.

Sessions should focus on trends, technology, and techniques vetted by theory, research, and practice. All presentations should highlight one of our nine industry-specific categories:

• Affordable Housing
• Risk Management
• Revenue Management
• Property Management
• Innovation
• Sustainability
• Marketing
• Maintenance
• Other

Attendees should be able to return to their organizations with a fresh perspective and the ability to implement change based on the knowledge they’ve gained through each session.

Suppliers

Suppliers to the multifamily industry are welcome to submit proposals for panel presentations. Panels may have only one representative from the submitting supplier company (the moderator). Each panel should include at least one customer or client from multifamily management. Supplier companies may not submit any promotional or advertising material. The proposed topic must be educational and relevant to the multifamily industry without explicitly promoting your company.

Submission Process

All submissions for sessions and speaker proposals must be submitted online by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, December 14, 2022. Incomplete, late, or promotional submissions will not be considered. The FAA Conference Planning Committee will consider a maximum of three session proposals per company; this applies to both multifamily management companies and supplier companies. This submission process is NOT for paid multifamily speakers. If you are a professional speaker, please submit your information directly to melanie@faahq.org.

Proposals will be evaluated using the following criteria:

• Relevance to multifamily housing industry
• Intelligent and clearly articulated submission materials
• Presenter/speaker qualifications
• Usefulness of information for attendees to apply to daily work life
• Appropriateness to an advanced audience

Speakers will be selected and notified mid-February 2023. If you have any questions, contact Melanie Palaigos at melanie@faahq.org or call FAA headquarters at 407-960-2910.
