EdCon 2025 was one we won’t soon forget!
We're still high on the success of EdCon 2025 and feel fortunate to have had over 2,100 industry professionals gather at the Seattle Convention Center’s Summit Building on March 13th for this one-day event.

2025 EdCon Chair and EdCon attendee
EdCon 2025 was nothing short of unforgettable! As Chair of the EdCon Committee and an attendee, I had the thrill of experiencing the event from all angles—leading, learning, and connecting. The moment the doors swung open; the buzz was electric.
The exhibitor floor felt like a playground of innovation, where ideas flew, deals blossomed, and friendships were formed and rekindled over shared visions.
The sessions? Pure gold. Packed with insightful trends, actionable strategies, and jaw-dropping “aha!” moments that left us all nodding and furiously taking notes. But the real magic happened in the conversations. Networking wasn’t just about exchanging business cards; it was about building genuine connections, sparking collaborations, and sharing wisdom that elevated everyone.
EdCon wasn’t just another event; it was a brain-boosting, growth-fueling experience that left us all inspired, motivated, and ready to take on whatever’s next. The mix of learning, laughter, and genuine camaraderie was nothing short of game-changing. I’m excited to see where we take EdCon next year!

EdCon Exhibitor & Presenting Sponsor
EdCon 2025 was an unforgettable experience! Serving as both Co-Chair and Exhibitor, I had the incredible opportunity to be at the heart of the action—leading, engaging, and delivering value to an audience eager for growth. From the moment the doors opened, the energy was electric. Our team connected with existing customers, new prospects, and industry leaders, all of whom were eager to share insights and explore solutions that drive success. The exhibitor floor buzzed with excitement as we showcased innovative offerings, exchanged ideas, and built relationships that will continue long after the event. Beyond the booth, EdCon’s high-impact sessions provided attendees with actionable takeaways, industry trends, and forward-thinking strategies. The power of networking was undeniable, as conversations evolved into meaningful collaborations and knowledge-sharing fueled professional growth. EdCon wasn’t just another event, it was a game-changer. The perfect blend of education, engagement, and energy, leaving us all inspired and ready to tackle new challenges. Can’t wait for next year!
Additionally, I'm very excited about next year's Keynote speaker, Brad Evans!

2025 EdCon National Speaker
WOW, Washington Multi-Family Housing Association, you seriously knocked it out of the park with this year's conference! Everything was next-level fantastic, and I am beyond grateful to have been part of EdCon 2025, sharing my obsession(yes, obsession!) for multifamily with your incredible attendees. Every single detail was thoughtfully executed and perfectly aligned—from the wonderfully curated Speakers Lounge (Jason Loughridge, those bunnies and flowers were absolute perfection!) to the jaw-dropping SURVIVOR-themed keynote session. Every breakout room was packed to the walls with eager professionals soaking up the knowledge—talk about inspiring!
And let's pause to appreciate the delicious food and stunning venue; it was like a perfectly orchestrated masterpiece of hospitality and learning. In my more than 15 years as a National Speaker, I've spoken at and attended hundreds of conferences. The 2025 WMFHA EdCon rivals the best of the best—even giving Apartmentalize a run for its money! This conference will be at the top of my list of "must-attend" meetings from now on.
And let me say—the audiences? Phenomenal. They didn’t just show up and zone out; they were fully engaged, asking questions, leaning in, and bringing incredible energy to every session. During one of my sessions with Kara Rice, we discussed creating a sense of community for today's renters. We ran about five minutes over—and 90% of the room stayed seated and dialed in, even though it was right before lunch! That kind of participation tells me everything I need to know: WMFHA members are truly invested in learning as much as they can while they’re at EdCon, and as a speaker, that means the world to us.
I’m already counting down the days until we can come together and do this all over again. Huge thanks for your warm hospitality, infectious energy, and relentless commitment to making multifamily shine brighter every year—you all are the real deal!

2025 EdCon Speaker
I have had the pleasure of attending Edcon for many years. It’s grown so much, and to be asked to speak at EdCon 25 was a huge honor! Top-notch communication about the event, what to expect, and the day of execution was extremely smooth from my perspective. Industry professionals were excited and engaged. That sort of energy makes for a wonderful speaking environment. The team at WMFHA provided excellent support, and I look forward to more EdCon experiences, whether as an attendee or speaker.
