SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AppFolio<\/u><\/a> (NASDAQ:APPF), the technology leader powering the future of the real estate industry, today unveiled the official programming and speaker lineup for FUTU<\/u>RE<\/u><\/em> 2026: The Real Estate Conference by AppFolio<\/u><\/a>. Taking place September 28 – October 1, 2026 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, the annual event brings together real estate operators and innovators to master the strategy, skills, and platform driving the next era of real estate performance.<\/p>\n

The Property Performance Gap in real estate is real and widening. Benchmark data from ProfitCoach<\/u><\/a> reveals that property managers in the top quartile are more than twice as profitable as the rest of the industry \u2014 yet the average operator still spends two-thirds of their time on reactive, routine work. FUTURE<\/em> 2026 is where the operators committed to closing that gap come together to learn how to put Real Estate Performance Management (RPM) into practice and explore the platform that makes it possible.<\/p>\n

FUTURE<\/em> 2026 will feature mainstage visionaries, industry experts, and executive leaders, including a special evening performance by four-time GRAMMY Award winner and global music legend Lenny Kravitz. Dr. Maya Shankar, acclaimed cognitive scientist, former White House Senior Policy Advisor, and host of A Slight Change of Plans<\/em>, and Andre Agassi, Grand Slam champion, author, and philanthropist, will deliver the opening and closing keynotes. Mainstage presentations will also feature AppFolio Chairman and CEO Shane Trigg, Chief Marketing Officer Lisa Horner, Chief Technology Officer Matthew Baird, Chief Product Officer Kyle Triplett, and Vice President & Industry Principal Stacy Holden, among others.<\/p>\n

In addition to the mainstage programming, attendees will have the opportunity to explore over 40 expert-led sessions, interactive workshops, and hands-on implementation sessions covering critical topics such as practical AI application, high-performance operating models, and resident engagement. The roster of speakers includes:<\/p>\n
