20 on the Rise
About 20 on the Rise
The National Apartment Association's 20 on the Rise celebrates the brightest rising stars with 10 years or less experience in the rental housing industry at the industry's largest event, Apartmentalize. As a dynamic career builder, you have already made major professional strides and demonstrate the potential to go far every day.
This rebranding from 20 in their Twenties includes new benefits. While you’ll still receive a free registration to Apartmentalize in Las Vegas, June 11–13, 2025, you’ll also get virtual, pre- and post Apartmentalize mentoring, an in-person networking session with a leadership speaker and onstage recognition during an Apartmentalize General Session.
Winners will also get the jackpot of being recognized:
- Throughout the event in Las Vegas, June 11 - 13
- In the pages of NAA’s units Magazine
- And on NAA’s event website and social media platforms.
Finally, you’ll be invited to a free, invitation-only session Tuesday, June 10, prior to Apartmentalize, a prime time for rising stars to network and discuss their talents with industry leadership and committee members.
If you would like to be contacted to apply for the Class of 2025, please sign up to be notified.
