Smart Spaces 2026 is where owners and operators map out how they’ll buy and pay for connectivity, AI, and smart building tech over the next decade.
Before the room fills up in Dallas this September, I’m sitting down with Elizabeth Parks, President and CMO at Parks Associates, for a live look at the agenda and why it matters.
Research firm and host Parks Associates has identified an $8.5B annual market opportunity in multifamily housing for amenity packages including smart security and smart home services, based on resident interest with services and willingness to pay.
Elizabeth reads the buying signals early: where adoption is moving from pilots to portfolio rollouts, which services owners will actually pay for, and how connectivity keeps turning into an NOI conversation instead of an amenity line.
We’ll walk the sessions worth your calendar, the themes shaping owner decisions, and what all of it means.
If connectivity is part of how you make a living, this is the half hour to spend before September.
