How to Prepare Before You Go

To get real value, go in with a plan.

Start by reviewing the and choosing a few sessions tied to your current priorities. Most attendees only need 2 to 3 strong sessions to make the day worthwhile.

Then identify your biggest challenges right now. For most associations, that tends to be:

  • Reserve planning or capital projects
  • Insurance costs and claims
  • Legal compliance and board responsibilities
  • Maintenance and infrastructure decisions

If you know what you are trying to solve, it becomes much easier to focus your time.

Key Seminar Themes to Focus On

You do not need to attend everything. Focus on the sessions that directly impact your operations.

The most valuable topics this year include:

Legal and compliance updates
Sessions led by firms like Goede, DeBoest & Cross break down recent Florida law changes and what they mean for your board, records, elections, and operations.

Capital projects and cost control
There is a dedicated session on avoiding costly mistakes during major projects like roofing, concrete restoration, or renovations. This is highly relevant if your community is planning upgrades.

Insurance and hurricane claims
Guidance on how to evaluate policies, manage claims, and understand what you are actually owed.

Engineering and infrastructure decisions
Sessions focused on when to bring in engineers and how to approach repairs, inspections, and safety requirements.

AI and operational efficiency
A newer addition this year, covering how tools can streamline communication, decision-making, and administrative work.

There is also a board certification course in the morning if you need to meet Florida requirements.
