Our goals with AIM Conference education are:
- To provide actionable business education for the multifamily housing industry;
- To highlight breakthrough innovations relevant to multihousing owners and managers; and
- To encourage brainstorming and connections that enhance all stakeholders in the apartment industry.
A few examples of successful previous conference sessions may be found here:

About Conference Sessions
- Conference sessions are typically 40-60 minutes. Sessions may be keynote sessions with no other content scheduled, breakout sessions that run against other sessions, small group workshops and roundtables designed for smaller groups to interact face-to-face in an informal manner. AIM Conference staff is solely responsible for selecting and scheduling conference sessions.
- Content may be structured as any combination of visual presentation, panel presentation, interactive or hands-on workshop, research summary, competition, focus group, personal/general technology demo or game show. (We greatly prefer not to host “fireside chats”, product demos, or sales pitches)
- We request that all presenters and sessions create presentations or memos to aid in teach that participants will be able to access post-conference as ongoing resources
- All session presenters will be assisted in content creation by professional speaking/presentation coaches under contract to the AIM Conference. All presenters will be required to participate in a minimum of three pre-conference planning and rehearsal sessions
Proposing Authoritative Speakers
- AIM is a gathering of multifamily housing executives. The best speakers are well-prepared, well-researched colleagues that do the same work at different companies, and that have already solved specific problems and can speak as peers about the work of running apartment companies.
- The best speakers approach the task with a desire to share freely and educate the industry, for the common good of the industry.
- A little ego and showmanship is healthy. (Executives “needing to speak” but lacking discernible content is not.)
- Speakers with previous experience and training and public speaking are always a plus. However, JTCG has speaker training resources available to help develop selected speakers that have less experience or would like more confidence in their presentation.
