Workshops and panel presentations are being invited for the CALNARPM 2027 California Conference. The CALNARPM Conference boasts attendance of approximately 200 attendees of the profession's most influential and qualified residential property managers throughout the State of California.

The attendees include company owners, property managers, executive officers, support staff, and suppliers - including those working with technology, website, personal assistance, and others. CALNARPM attendees want practical knowledge. Theory is useful only when session participants are shown how to use it.

Learning is not a passive activity. Give yourself a break - let others help do the talking. Attendees usually learn best when they are doing, not only when they are listening. Involve participants by using questions, exercises, and other activities.
