CHICAGO (April 30, 2025) – IREM® (Institute of Real Estate Management) held its newest event, PropertyCon: An IREM Education Experience, in Boston on April 23-24. A sold-out crowd of more than 500 people attended this debut event focused on bringing the best education IREM has to offer. More than 45 education sessions were part of the event program, centering on topics that are top-of-mind for property managers world-wide today including artificial intelligence, common area maintenance, maximizing net operating income, talent management, and more.
“PropertyCon’s debut in Boston was a tremendous success, with attendees from around the world who came for two days of education and inspiration,” says 2025 IREM President Dawn Carpenter, CPM®. “It’s fantastic to see how the idea of PropertyCon, born three years ago, evolved into an event even better than we had imagined. We’re looking forward to 2026 PropertyCon in Austin next year.”
