ManageCasa Exhibits at Optech 2025 | ManageCasa

Written by ManageCasa | Nov 7, 2025 10:19:08 PM

OPTECH 2025 isn’t your usual rental property conference. What truly sets it apart is the quality of attendees you’ll meet. OPTECH brings together some of the highest portfolio owners and investors in multifamily. This is one of the rare industry environments where introductions can directly translate into real strategic pipeline and long-term business outcomes. 

Our founder Peter Koch said it best. “If you think of rental conferences like parties, OPTECH is the equivalent of a private country club. While maybe lower energy with fewer education sessions, OPTECH is second to none for its connections and high-level strategic conversations."

Networking is not optional at OPTECH 2025. Arrive ready with a clear elevator pitch, clarity on what value you bring, and who you want to connect with.

OPTECH 2025 Event Details

Dates: November 17–19, 2025
Location: MGM Grand, Las Vegas
Requirement: RETTC membership is required to attend or exhibit

Event details verified with NMHC/RETTC site as of November 2025.

For years, OPTECH has been the launchpad for the next wave of operational innovation in multifamily (see our ManageCasa Article for related coverage). AI in operations, automation, data maturity, regulatory alignment, and platform stack evolution have all historically shown up here before the broader market adopts them.

Why OPTECH 2025 Matters

OPTECH is now formally a RETTC event, marking a meaningful pivot in how the conference is framed and who it’s built to serve. Technology strategy has now become central to operations strategy. The industry is moving past theory and entering an execution era where tech decisions now directly impact margin structure, workload elimination, and long-term competitiveness.

Speakers and Leadership

Kara Swisher (On With Kara Swisher Podcast)
Nathan Blecharczyk (Co-founder & CSO, Airbnb)

Guidance and leadership representation includes senior operational voices from Carmel Partners, Western Wealth Capital, Bozzuto Group, KETTLER, and Avenue5 Residential. This reflects a level of operator-led direction that signals heavy real world application, not abstract forecasting.

Programming Overview

OPTECH 2025 introduces and continues several content tracks designed to support every role within multifamily: product, operations, compliance, revenue, data, and leadership. 

Attendees should expect diverse formats ranging from short-form takeaways to deep exploration sessions. New programming additions include the NOFOMO Stage, as well as the Fast Pitches format and the Influencer Program, alongside the returning FuturesLab. These formats are designed to surface insights, emerging companies, meaningful conversations, and future-forward ideas from across the broader ecosystem.

Understanding the Floor Plan

While the detailed floor plan will release closer to event date, OPTECH historically segments into three primary experience zones:

Main Stage Experience: Keynotes and leadership-level panels
Expo Floor: Technology platforms, automation products, workflow systems, and next-generation tools showcased in one place
Breakout + Lab Environments: Listening, experimentation, discussions, and discovery

This structure is useful to plan around. Attendees will be able to navigate between learning, evaluating, and conversation spaces without losing flow or momentum.

You can use the below map for reference. Find us at booth 672!

Steps to Prepare for Optech 2025

  • Clarify the top operational pain points you want to solve in 2026
  • Define success for attending: connections, learning, deal flow, discovery, benchmarking
  • Prepare your networking statement: who you help, how you help, what you are focused on next cycle
  • Research companies and speakers in advance so conversations can start warm, not cold
  • Build time to walk the expo floor with intention, not reactively
  • Schedule follow-ups during the event, not after you return home

Showcasing Our Newest Feature: AI-Powered Package Tracking

ManageCasa will also be spotlighting our new Package Tracking feature at OPTECH. This solves one of the most common resident frustrations: packages that go missing or get delayed with no visibility. With automatic logging, resident notifications, and clear tracking inside the platform, property managers can keep deliveries organized, secure, and fast to process. Especially heading into peak holiday season, this feature helps reduce complaints and saves staff time across the board.

ManageCasa is unveiling its new AI-driven Package Tracking system, now available for ManageRental AI users. The feature tackles one of the biggest pain points for property managers, missing or delayed packages with intelligent automation.

Through automatic delivery logging, real-time resident notifications, and predictive status tracking, property managers can monitor every package from arrival to pickup. The result: fewer complaints, faster workflows, and time saved for onsite staff especially during the busy holiday season.

With ManageRental AI, your package room becomes smarter, more secure, and fully transparent.

Will We Pay you to Demo our Software at Optech?
