The National Apartment Association (NAA) appreciates the opportunity to have members of the press attend and report on its annual conference and trade show, Apartmentalize. The following guidelines serve as the framework for your time at Apartmentalize and are subject to change at any time.

Press Pass Application (Pre-Show):
  • Members of the press interested in receiving a press pass must first complete the 2025 press pass application below. Applications will be accepted through May 30, 2025. There will be no onsite registration for press.
  • Once an application has been received, NAA communications staff members will promptly review the request. Press passes will only be issued to individuals that have a proven record of covering the rental housing industry. NAA ultimately reserves the right to deny a press pass request to any outlet or person at any time. NAA reserves the right to grant press privileges to individuals on a case-by-case basis. Registration at previous NAA events and meetings does not guarantee approval.
  • Applicants will be notified via email of their application’s status. Reporters approved to receive a press pass will receive a unique code for complimentary registration and must register themselves online via the Apartmentalize website. Please note that your complimentary registration does not include a ticket to the Thursday Night Party. Tickets for that event may be purchased during the registration process.
  • Prior to the show, any important updates will be communicated to you via email from your on-site contact and NAA. Additional conference details, including FAQs, are available on the Apartmentalize website.
Check-in and Onsite Guidelines:
  • Only members of the press with approved press passes will be admitted into Apartmentalize.
  • On arrival, press pass holders should collect their press badge at the Attendee Registration area. Press pass holders are required to wear their attendee badge at all times during the conference.
  • After checking, press pass holders should call the on-site contact (listed below) to let them know that they’ve checked in.
  • The conference includes many general and education (breakout) sessions, which press pass holders are welcome to attend. No photography or videography or audio/sound recording is permitted within general or education sessions. NAA reserves the right to engage professional photographers and/or audio/visual professionals to document the meeting for use in informational articles or future promotions of its activities.
  • Members of the press are not permitted to ask questions at the microphones or via the mobile app during general and educational sessions.
  • Press pass holders may not enter the NAA Exposition unaccompanied. Contact Zach Quimby to enter the NAA Exposition floor.
On-Site Contact: Please contact Zach Quimby at zquimby@naahq.org should you have any questions. This application closes on May 30, 2025.
