Problem

As younger professionals become a growth demographic at NAA Apartmentalize, attendee and exhibitor needs have changed. Because NAA wants to stay ahead of trends and maintain Apartmentalize as the ultimate gathering for the rental housing industry, they recognized the need to identify and implement new ideas to enhance the experience for all stakeholders.

Solution

NAA partnered with Nth Degree Events to conduct a comprehensive event audit. Thorough reviews of NAA’s strategic plans, marketing programs and data gathering practices, combined with surveys, interviews, onsite evaluations, and a deep dive into industry trends provided insights into the Apartmentalize experience.

Result

Nth Degree Events delivered a comprehensive audit report that identified the strengths of Apartmentalize and provided a roadmap of phased recommendations to improve five key areas of their event, including marketing, session formats, and networking. The findings provided NAA with the insights they needed to implement changes to their program and further cement NAA as the leader in the space.

“The audit from Nth Degree Events not only highlighted what we were doing well but also gave us clear, actionable recommendations to elevate the attendee experience across marketing, content, and networking. The insights they delivered have been instrumental in helping us evolve the event and continue to lead the industry forward.”
