Well, after several exciting days and nearly 100 meetings (literally!) later, it’s safe to say we had an incredibly exciting – and productive – trip out to San Francisco for the 2016 NAA Education Conference and Exposition.

This year’s expo – the first ever held in the City by the Bay – experienced record-breaking attendance. With over 10,000 attendees, this year’s conference provided an array of innovative ideas and inspirational content, showcasing the latest trends, solutions and best practices for the property management industry.

Scroll through our gallery below for a comprehensive (and fun!) look at Updater’s trip to one of the best and biggest conferences in the property management ‘biz.

The Super Bowl Champion turned Emmy-nominated TV show host kicked off this year’s General Session with words of wisdom. Our favorite? “Wake up and start every day with possibilities, not problems.”
