Northern California Multifamily Forum

Northern California Multifamily is at an Inflection Point. This is Where You Get Clarity.

The Marcus & Millichap / IPA Multifamily Forum: Northern California returns for 2026 — bringing together 450+ owners, investors, operators and developers active across Northern California’s apartment markets for one high-impact day of insight, debate and deal-making.

For 14 years, this forum has been the region’s most trusted gathering for multifamily principals. This year, the stakes are higher than ever, with new opportunities finally emerging after years of challenges.
