ABOUT NEXTGEN PATHWAYS

The ARL Annual Conference is one of the most influential gatherings in the BTR ecosystem, bringing together decision-makers who actively shape, fund, design, build, operate, and scale rental-led residential developments.

Exhibiting at the ARL 2026 Annual Conference places your brand at the centre of the conversation, where innovation meets investment, and where partnerships are formed long before procurement decisions are made.

This is not a trade show driven by foot traffic alone — it is a high-value networking and dealflow environment designed to connect solution providers directly with the people driving BTR growth.
