Phoenix Education Conference & Trade Show

Success doesn’t happen by chance, it happens by design. This inspiring and practical session is for professionals who feel called to achieve more and are ready to bridge the gap between where they are today and where they want to be. Learn how to quiet self-doubt, overcome obstacles, build momentum, and take purposeful action toward your goals. Attendees will leave energized, empowered, and equipped with strategies to increase their impact, influence, and success in the year ahead. 

Strong teams begin with understanding. In this interactive session, Dena Patton will introduce the True Colors personality framework, helping attendees recognize different communication styles, work preferences, and strengths. Participants will gain practical tools to improve workplace relationships, increase collaboration, and create a more engaged and productive team culture.

The relationship between management and maintenance teams is critical to the success of every community. When communication breaks down, productivity, resident satisfaction, and team morale can suffer. This session explores the unique responsibilities of each role and provides practical strategies for fostering mutual understanding, improving communication, and building a stronger partnership that drives property performance.

Every leader faces difficult conversations and challenging situations. In this interactive session, experienced industry leaders will share real-world conflict scenarios, the decisions they made, and the lessons they learned along the way. Through audience participation, discussion, and live polling, attendees will explore practical approaches to conflict resolution and gain valuable leadership insights they can apply immediately in their own roles.

Will you provide an attendee list before or after the event?
No. AMA does not sell, rent, or share contact/lead lists of event attendees.

We are thrilled to offer lead retrieval to all exhibitors this year. Prior to the event, you will be given access to an app that will allow you to scan the QR code on attendee name badges.

Be alert! AMA exhibitors are being approached by companies that falsely claim to offer the official email list for AMA. Do not attempt to order these fake and malicious lists. None of these companies are legitimate, and any solicitations for AMA mailing lists are scams and in no way endorsed, promoted, or protected by AMA.
