Two major industry events will connect rental housing providers with regional expert insights, operational strategies, and the businesses helping shape the future of property management.

As California’s rental housing industry confronts an increasingly complex regulatory environment, rising operating costs, and evolving market demands, the Income Property Management Expo (IPME) is preparing to bring industry professionals together for two major events in 2027.

IPME 2027 will spotlight the intersection of housing policy, regulatory developments, and practical business solutions, creating a platform where property owners, managers, investors, and industry service providers can connect, exchange ideas, and explore strategies for success.

The 2027 event schedule includes:

•  IPME Greater Los Angeles — Wednesday, March 17, 2027, at the Pasadena Convention Center (Pasadena, California).
• IPME Inland Empire — Wednesday, September 22, 2027, at the Ontario Convention Center (Ontario, California).

Both events will feature educational programming, industry exhibitors, and networking opportunities designed to address the challenges and opportunities shaping Southern California’s multifamily and rental housing markets.

Connecting Industry Challenges with Real-World Solutions

From expanding housing regulations and shifting rental policies to increasing insurance premiums, maintenance expenses, and operational pressures, California’s rental housing providers face a growing list of responsibilities.

IPME 2027 aims to bridge the gap between understanding these challenges and identifying actionable solutions.

Through expert-led seminars and masterclass discussions, attendees will gain timely insight into the legislative and regulatory developments affecting rental housing, alongside strategies for improving property operations, managing financial risks, strengthening tenant relations, and protecting long-term investment performance.

“Rental housing providers are navigating one of the most challenging operating environments in recent memory,” said Travis Watson, CEO of ANP Media Group. “IPME is about more than identifying the issues facing our industry. It’s about bringing together the knowledge, resources, and business partnerships that help owners and managers respond effectively, operate more efficiently, and position their properties for long-term success.”

Exhibitors and Sponsors: Part of the Solution

A central focus of IPME 2027 will be the essential role industry suppliers, service providers, and technology innovators play in supporting rental housing operations.

From property management software, financial services, and legal expertise to maintenance solutions, building technologies, insurance, security, and energy efficiency, IPME’s exhibit halls will showcase businesses offering products and services that address the everyday needs of rental property professionals.

For participating exhibitors and sponsors, the events provide an opportunity to engage directly with property owners, management executives, investors, and other decision-makers seeking solutions to operational challenges.

Beyond brand visibility and lead generation, IPME offers participating businesses a platform to demonstrate their expertise, build valuable industry relationships, and position themselves as trusted partners in the rental housing community.

Share Your Expertise: IPME 2027 Call for Presenters

As part of its commitment to delivering timely, relevant, and actionable industry education, IPME 2027 is inviting experienced professionals, subject-matter experts, and industry thought leaders to submit presentation proposals for its Greater Los Angeles and Inland Empire events.

Prospective presenters are encouraged to propose educational sessions addressing the issues most relevant to today’s rental housing providers, including housing policy and regulatory compliance, property management best practices, financial and investment strategies, emerging technologies, risk management, and innovative approaches to improving property operations.

Presentation proposals should emphasize educational value, actionable takeaways, and relevance to the rental housing industry, rather than direct product or service promotion.

Two Markets. One Industry. Shared Opportunities.

With events strategically located in Pasadena (Greater Los Angeles) and Ontario (Inland Empire), IPME 2027 will serve two important Southern California rental housing markets, each facing distinct regulatory, economic, and operational considerations.

From Greater Los Angeles’ complex regulatory environment and rising operational pressures to the Inland Empire’s evolving market dynamics and growth opportunities, each IPME event will address the distinct challenges, trends, and business strategies shaping its regional rental housing market.

Together, the two events will provide expanded opportunities for education, industry engagement, business development, and collaboration across the region.

Get Involved with IPME 2027

Industry partners interested in showcasing their products, services, and expertise can explore a variety of exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities designed to maximize visibility, build valuable connections, and engage with decision-makers across Southern California.

Exhibitors can also take advantage of an exclusive early-access opportunity: By securing their participation in IPME Greater Los Angeles 2027, exhibitors unlock priority access to registration for IPME Inland Empire 2027, providing an opportunity to secure preferred exhibit space and sponsorship placements at both events ahead of general availability.

One registration opens the door to two markets. This priority benefit allows exhibitors to plan their 2027 participation strategically, build a coordinated regional presence, and maximize the value of their involvement in both events.

Industry professionals interested in contributing to the educational program are encouraged to submit presentation proposals, while rental property owners, managers, investors, and other housing professionals are invited to save the dates for both events.
