OPTECH—Now Powered by RETTC
Rental real estate’s leading tech event just leveled up.
OPTECH has a new home—and it’s a perfect fit. Starting in 2025, the Real Estate Technology & Transformation Center (RETTC), NMHC’s tech-forward affiliate, will officially power the industry’s premier conference on innovation, operations, and transformation.
We’re also making a major move: OPTECH is now exclusive to RETTC members.
If you want to attend, exhibit, or be part of the action, you’ll need to join RETTC—just like the rest of the forward-thinking leaders shaping where this industry goes next.
Why the change? Because the real estate tech landscape is shifting fast. This evolution keeps OPTECH focused, curated, and high impact—bringing together the executives, decisionmakers, innovators, and solution partners who are pushing boundaries and rethinking how our industry operates and serves renters.
This is the next chapter of OPTECH—and we want you in it. Check out the recording on the changes for this year's OPTECH below.

Why is OPTECH moving to the Real Estate Technology and Transformation Center (RETTC)?
Simple: To stay ahead of what’s coming. As AI, consolidation, and regulatory changes accelerate, OPTECH needs a strategic home that’s built for the future. As NMHC's new real estate affiliate, RETTC provides the community, focus, and mission alignment to keep OPTECH at the center of real estate innovation—not just for a few days a year but all year round.
Put another way, this shift:- Protects OPTECH’s role as the industry’s tech and innovation hub
- Builds a more strategic, mission-driven attendee base
- Elevates the experience for committed apartment operators and solution providers
- Delivers deeper connections and more actionable outcomes
-
Why are you making OPTECH a RETTC members-only event?
Because the future of real estate tech deserves more than just a conference—it deserves a true community. By making OPTECH exclusive to RETTC members, we're adding value and impact by ensuring the room is filled with committed operators and solution providers who are serious about driving positive change not only for their businesses but also the people they serve. It's more about elevating the experience than limiting access. -
What can I expect now?
- A sharper focus on innovation, tech adoption, and regulatory strategies that drive industry-wide progress.

- A high-impact gathering of decision-makers who are truly shaping the future of real estate tech.
