2026 DFW Property Management Summit

Why You Should Attend this DFW Property Management Real Estate Event

What We’ll Cover:

• Tenant Experience & Retention Strategy: Insights into shaping service culture and tenant engagement from leaders overseeing both institutional and third party property operations, with discussion around performance benchmarks, communication frameworks and service delivery models that directly influence renewals and occupancy stability in today’s competitive markets.
• On-Site Workforce & Staffing Models: Real world approaches to recruiting, developing and retaining frontline and operations talent, including integrated training programs and organizational structures from firms managing diverse portfolios spanning industrial, residential, retail and mixed use assets.
• Budget Pressures & Cost Control: Examination of budgeting frameworks from leaders balancing rising insurance, utility, payroll, and vendor costs, including how operational intelligence and strategic planning are used to protect NOI across property types.
• Maintenance Operations & Building Performance: Best practices in preventive maintenance, work order efficiency, technology enabled workflows and vendor coordination, grounded in lessons from teams managing both corporate portfolios and large third party platforms in complex markets.
• Technology & Workflow Efficiency: A practical look at which tools and platforms are genuinely improving response times, cross department visibility and performance metrics, and which tend to add complexity without meaningful return on investment.
• Owner & Operator Alignment: Strategies for aligning operational execution with ownership goals, including frameworks for communication, capital planning, and performance expectations from companies with both proprietary and client-focused portfolios.

How You'll Do More Business: DFW remains one of the nation’s most active and complex property management markets, with more than 8.1 million residents and one of the fastest growth rates among large U.S. metros. This growth creates constant pressure on building operations and tenant expectations. At the same time, operating pressures are intensifying across Texas and DFW. Insurance policy costs in Texas rose by rose by 55.4% between 2019 and 2024, putting direct strain on operating budgets and forcing property teams to make tougher decisions around staffing, maintenance and service delivery.

Against this backdrop, property leaders across DFW are managing portfolios that span logistics facilities, residential communities, retail centers, office assets and mixed use environments, often within the same organization. Office conditions are beginning to stabilize as absorption improves and vacancy shows early signs of easing, while retail vacancy remains near historic lows, reinforcing strong tenant demand across neighborhood and service oriented centers. Many owners now operate mixed portfolios that require consistent performance standards across very different asset types, increasing demand for property teams who can deliver both operational efficiency and elevated tenant experience at scale.

This event brings together perspectives from large national platforms and regionally focused operators responsible for everything from institutional industrial portfolios and residential operations to third party property management and owner operated assets. You will hear how teams are standardizing service models, building frontline talent pipelines, leveraging operational data, and refining maintenance and customer experience strategies to protect occupancy, improve renewals and preserve NOI. Together, these conversations will focus on how today’s most effective property organizations are aligning operations with ownership priorities while navigating rising costs, shifting tenant expectations and portfolio complexity in one of the country’s most competitive CRE markets.

Join Bisnow as we explore how DFW property teams are retaining tenants, developing talent, protecting NOI, and aligning with ownership priorities in 2026, and what the most resilient portfolios are doing differently.
