Hear From The RETCON Community

“I have been coming here since 2021, and I enjoyed the direction that they were taking as far as trying to correlate technology, and I really found that it was a different type of conference. It wasn’t all about sales, it was really about problem-solving.”

Gigi Giannoni, Senior Vice President of Customer Experience, Gables Residential

“We’ve worked with RETCON leadership this year for our sponsorship and they were very flexible. We were a part of the golf outing, I spoke on a panel. The ability to create a custom sponsorship for us was important.  We had some success in attending strategically last year. It’s been pretty impactful in getting our name out there in the real estate technology industry.”

Matt Riccio, National Real Estate Industry Consulting Leader, RSM

“The main thing about technology and real estate is standardization. Because the buildings are traded kind of like assets, technology can become non-standard real fast and that drives a tremendous amount of inefficiency. Getting a standard playbook across the board for both IT and cyber security I think is extremely important. I hope that people are really coming around to that concept through this conference.”

Wade Hughes, CEO, 5Q

“RETCON is great because it’s all real estate technology. It focuses on the technology, the companies that provide it, the suppliers, but also better ways of how we should use it and how innovation is changing the industry in the world today.”

Marcus K. Wilson, Founder & CEO, Pivotal Impact Consulting

“When you think about real estate, it’s a people business. We sometimes get a bad rep for not being technology forward. I don’t believe that’s true at all. And ultimately, what RETCON allows us to do is really to pause, right? Take a step back and think a little bit about what you’re doing. And sometimes that pause is everything.”

Armel Traore dit Nignan, Head of Real Estate Data & Analytics, Principal Asset Management

“Everyone here seems to be in a great mood. They’re approachable. I’ve seen a lot of one-off conversations spin up, whether it be on an elevator or in the hallway. So, I I think it’s definitely an environment that is welcoming and friendly.”

Jason Creel, Vice President of Development, Landing

“It’s been great understanding what people are doing and where they’re investing their money. AI is something that everyone’s talking about, so, hearing it from different perspectives is critically important.”

Matt Ricco, National Real Estate Industry Consulting Leader, RSM

“I think there’s a lot of energy here at RETCON. There’s so many different people from so many different backgrounds, and everyone really loves what they do. If you’re in the real estate or technology space, coming to RETCON really lets you see the seamless marriage between technology and real estate in an environment where you can envision what the future looks like.”

Karen Whitt, President, Real Estate Management Services US, Colliers International

“I believe RETCON’s different from other conferences because you really get to know people more on a grounded level. It’s not all sales talk, right? But really having great conversations and learning and exchanging who we are, what we do best, and how we want to continue to influence the industry.”

Jay Richard-Yu, VP of Tech & Innovation, Jamestown

“The energy at the conference was great and having been to other conferences, I’m sorry I had not attended RETCON previously. You are correct about busy schedules, etc., however, it was time well spent and worthwhile. I will for sure be blocking my calendar for next year’s conference!”

Craig Behm, Vice President of Information Technology, The Millennia Companies

“The RETCON team made moderating a mainstage panel seamless from start to finish. Nikki was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process: from organizing our prep call weeks in advance to providing detailed checklists, post-call notes and transcript, in addition to clear onsite instructions. Every touchpoint was thoughtful and well-timed, which allowed me to focus on delivering a great session rather than logistics. Their level of coordination and communication set a high bar for conference speaker management.”

Margette Hepfner, Executive Director of Resident Loyalty, BILT

“RETCON has become one of the most important gatherings for anyone serious about the future of real estate operations. It stands out as a true industry asset because it brings together owners, operators, and proptech innovators in a way that connects real estate decision-makers with technologies genuinely transforming how assets are operated. The caliber of attendees and the quality of conversations make RETCON one of the most valuable conferences in the industry.”

Teddy Abdelmalek, SVP of Business Development, HH Red Stone

“RETCON is a place where I want to come and meet people and understand what everybody else is doing. I come here to not only learn from others but also share my experience.”

Anil Singh, Chief Technology Officer, Veritas Investments
