Are you a startup targeting the apartment industry? Then you need to be at OPTECH.
What is OPTECH? It’s the leading conference for PropTech (and so much more) focused exclusively on the multifamily sector, hosted each year by the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC).
Every fall, over 1,800 CEOs, COOs, CTOs, CIOs, CMOs and more gather at OPTECH to collaborate on strategic action, incubate new ideas and explore what’s next in the apartment sector, and the Expo hall is a big part of all of that.
NMHC also recognizes that start-up businesses need some help to grow and gain exposure in the marketplace. So we created a designated “Start-Ups Center” in the OPTECH Expo to feature new companies. It’s just part of our overall effort to create an ecosystem to support innovation in our industry.
Exhibiting in Start-Ups Center is a great opportunity for new companies who have limited budgets and time, but still want to have a presence on the floor.
Companies meeting the criteria below may exhibit in this dedicated space on the show floor.
