Event: 2026 RETTC Tech Executive Summit
Dates: February 25–27, 2026
Location: Loews Coral Gables Hotel | Coral Gables, FL
The multifamily industry has spent years asking whether PropTech delivers real value — and PropTech IQ has spent years building the evidence to answer that question definitively. This month, PropTech IQ CEO Taylor Wiederkehr will take the stage at the 2026 RETTC Tech Executive Summit to help reframe the conversation.
Rethinking the PropTech Value Equation
Taylor will be a featured panelist in one of the summit’s most anticipated sessions: “We’re Thinking About PropTech All Wrong.” The session will present findings from a new joint research report by RETTC and PropTech IQ that challenge the industry’s long-standing NOI-first framework for evaluating technology investments.
The data tells a more complete story. PropTech produces measurable returns not just through direct cost savings, but through improved resident satisfaction, higher retention rates, enhanced digital service delivery, and stronger operational efficiency. The report makes the case for a fundamentally different way of calculating value — one that reflects how residents actually experience technology and how that experience affects the bottom line.
For too long, PropTech has been evaluated on a narrow set of metrics that miss much of where the real impact lives. This session is about changing that narrative with data, not just opinion.
Why This Research Matters Now
The rental housing industry is navigating a pivotal moment. Resident expectations have shifted. AI is embedding itself into property management platforms. Centralization initiatives are producing mixed results. And capital is tighter, which means every technology decision carries more weight.
In this environment, operators need a more sophisticated framework for understanding what their technology is actually doing — not just what it costs, but what it delivers across the full resident lifecycle. That’s exactly what the PropTech IQ Impact Analysis Reports provide: independent, rigorous validation of whether technology will perform as promised.
The RETTC Tech Executive Summit brings together the senior-most technology leaders in rental housing — an intentionally small group of 250 participants — for candid, peer-level conversations about what’s actually happening in the industry. It’s the right room to release research this important.
