PASADENA, CA — The highly anticipated Income Property Management Expo (IPME) returns to the Pasadena Convention Center on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, bringing together California rental housing providers, property managers, investors, and industry suppliers for a full day of education, advocacy, and high-impact networking.

Presented in partnership with the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles (AAGLA), IPME Pasadena 2026 is poised to deliver timely insights and practical strategies tailored specifically for Southern California housing providers navigating today’s evolving regulatory and economic landscape.

“IPME is where rental housing providers come to stay informed, connected, and empowered,” said Daniel Yukelson, Executive Director of the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles. “With so many legislative and regulatory changes impacting property owners across California, this event provides the tools, education, and advocacy awareness our members and the broader housing community need to protect their investments and continue providing quality housing.”
