2024 GCNKAA Business Exchange

HOW IT WORKS 

FOR OUR ASSOCIATE MEMBERS: Similar to Speed Networking, this IN-PERSON Business Exchange offers you the opportunity to meet one-on-one in 5-minute intervals with key decision makers from several of the participating property owner and management companies.

The first 10 to 15 rotations will be pre-scheduled meetings with companies with whom you have requested to meet. We are excited to share that once again participating property management companies have the ability to rank up to 10 products and services they are looking to invest in during the upcoming year. We will then match your selections with their selections to provide all of our participants with more valuable meetings. After the initial 10 to 15 rotations, you may randomly move around the floor as you see best for your business goals. Depending on the total number of primary companies participating and the total number of associate members registered, you may - or may not - have to wait a few rotations between meetings.

An event booklet will also be provided to all participants with detailed and highly beneficial information on all of our participating companies. As an associate member, you may either submit a full color, half page ad to include or send a brief paragraph about your company. See more details under Important Deadlines below.

FOR OUR PROPERTY OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT COMPANIES: This is your opportunity to conduct multiple meetings with multiple vendors in one morning, allowing you to easily expand your network of suppliers. Once you register to participate, you will receive an Information Statement Form complete with an A-to-Z listing of the products and services our associate members provide to the multifamily housing industry. Simply complete the information and select the top 10 to 15 products or services you are looking to invest in for 2024 and 2025 and submit to michele@gcnkaa.org. We will then schedule meetings with companies that provide the products and services you are most interested in.
