Note on Hurricane Sandy: The Massey Knakal Multifamily Summit & Operations Academy are going forward as planned on November 13 and 14. Due to the unfortunate circumstances of many multifamily owners, we are revising our attendance expectations downward from 1000 attendees to 750 attendees over the course of the two days. The event remains the largest multifamily thought-leadership conference in the Tri-State area, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Over 750 attendees are expected over November 13 and 14, 2012 at the McGraw-Hill Conference Center. Don’t miss this powerful opportunity to learn, network, and expand your multifamily business.
