Our read
These are not substitutes. NMHC's Annual Meeting in Las Vegas is where apartment capital meets: owners, REITs, lenders and brokers in back-to-back meetings, and it is effectively members-only. Apartmentalize in Denver is the operations and supplier show, open to anyone who registers. Investors and lenders go to NMHC; operators and vendors go to Apartmentalize; large owners send different people to each.
