Business Exchange

Unique reverse trade show experience with Owner/Manager VIP's


Category: Signature Events

The Business Exchange is the #1 place for multifamily connections!

BAAA's Business Exchange is a reverse-style trade show hosted in a speed networking format allowing suppliers to connect with property management VIPs. Multifamily professionals can meet new supplier members and increase new product knowledge, creating new relationships in the industry. The East Club location means we stay cool while getting the awesome vibes of RayJay!

Want to see how much fun we had last year? Check out the photos here.


To combat overcrowding and to allow each Supplier and Property Management VIP ample time to connect, we will now have two waves of networking opportunities.

Suppliers, simply choose the AM or PM slot when selecting your ticket. You will only be allowed on the floor during your selected time. Management, we will provide a break and refreshments throughout the day for you.

Agenda
AM Wave: 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM
PM Wave: 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM
