A Big Year Ahead: Your 2026 IAA Events & Education Preview

As we look ahead to 2026, I’m thrilled to share a lineup of events and educational opportunities designed to inform, inspire, and connect our multifamily community like never before.
This year’s calendar is packed with signature experiences—from networking favorites to fresh formats—all tailored to help you grow professionally and strengthen your teams. Whether you're a property manager, maintenance professional, leasing consultant, or executive leader, there's something for everyone.
The Maintenance Games Are Back!
After a three-year hiatus, we’re bringing back one of our most beloved events: The Maintenance Games. This high-energy competition celebrates the skill, speed, and spirit of our maintenance professionals. It’s more than just fun; it’s a chance to showcase talent, build camaraderie, and recognize the essential role maintenance teams play in our communities. Mark your calendars for April and get ready to cheer on your team or compete for the top spot!
Introducing: Level Up Lunch
We’re also excited to launch Level Up Lunch, a reimagined version of our popular lunch-and-learn series. These midday meetups combine targeted education with meaningful networking, giving multifamily professionals the chance to sharpen their skills and stay ahead of industry trends, all over a shared meal. Our first session kicks off Jan. 27 at the IAA Education Center, and we can’t wait to see you there.
Prioritizing What Matters Most
Common feedback we have received during the last year is how hard it is to attend IAA events that occur in the evening hours. We understand how important family commitments are to our members, and IAA depends on the participation of our members to be successful. That’s why you’ll notice more of our events and educational offerings scheduled during regular business hours. Be sure to check out even more great highlights on our 2026 Event Lineup webpage. Each event is designed to bring our members together, provide valuable insights, and strengthen the multifamily housing industry across Indiana.
Let’s Make 2026 Our Best Year Yet
I encourage you to explore all the benefits that IAA has to offer YOU (our valued members!), register early for events and educational opportunities, and take advantage of these chances to connect, learn, and grow. The Indiana Apartment Association is proud to support you, and together, we’ll continue to elevate our industry and the communities we serve.
