Built for both leasing and maintenance professionals, this year’s Summit brings attendees together for shared learning around teamwork, communication, resident expectations and operational excellence before splitting into role-specific training.
Maintenance professionals will participate in hands-on learning with interactive stations focused on real-world troubleshooting, technical skills and practical problem solving. Leasing professionals will participate in tiered training designed to meet them where they are, with sessions focused on foundational skills, applied strategies, leadership and innovation.
Attendees will leave with ideas they can use right away, stronger connections across leasing and maintenance teams, and a better understanding of how each role contributes to the resident experience and overall property success.
The day will also include networking, sponsor engagement and a celebratory Leasing & Maintenance Awards Luncheon recognizing outstanding leasing and maintenance professionals across the PMA community.

Maintenance professionals will get even more hands-on learning in 2026, with interactive stations focused on real-world troubleshooting, technical skills and practical problem solving.
Attendees will rotate through station-based learning experiences covering topics such as HVAC diagnostics, plumbing and electrical troubleshooting, appliance diagnostics, lock rekeying and access control, fire safety and compliance, trash chute and compactor maintenance, and other everyday maintenance challenges.
LEASING EXPERIENCE
Leasing professionals will participate in tiered training designed to meet them where they are in their careers.
Concurrent workshops will focus on foundational skills, applied strategies, leadership and innovation, giving attendees the opportunity to build confidence, sharpen their approach and explore solutions to the challenges they face every day.
The PMA Leasing & Maintenance Summit will culminate in a three-course awards luncheon honoring the leasing and maintenance professionals whose hard work, skill and dedication keep communities thriving every day.
Now in their 14th year, PMA’s Leasing Professional Awards and Maintenance Professional Awards recognize the frontline talent behind exceptional resident experiences, strong community operations and outstanding property performance. This year’s luncheon will bring together nominees, supervisors, teams, sponsors and industry leaders for an energizing afternoon of recognition, storytelling and appreciation.
The 2026 Maintenance Professional Awards mark a record-breaking year, with 92 entries from approximately 20 area property management companies. The Leasing Professional Awards also reflect strong industry participation, with 78 entries from 17 property management companies.
Throughout the luncheon, PMA will spotlight the individuals and teams who go above and beyond for their communities, from leasing professionals who connect prospects with their next homes to maintenance professionals who solve problems, support residents and keep properties running smoothly.
Support Your Team at the Awards Luncheon beginning 12p.m.
