SAN FRANCISCO, May 25, 2011 – Producers of the first-ever Apartment Revenue Management Conference (ARM), September 12-14, 2011 at the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz., today announce Robert Cross, Chairman and CEO of Revenue Analytics as a keynote speaker. Widely recognized as the world's foremost expert in revenue management strategy, Mr. Cross will provide cross-industry insights into successful revenue management tactics and the potential for revenue management to continue changing the multifamily industry.
"As a first-wave innovator in revenue management, Mr. Cross helped to generate more than $10 billion in incremental revenue for the travel, lodging, automotive, communications, consumer goods and manufacturing industries. We are deeply honored to announce his participation at this year's ARM Conference," said Stephen Lefkovits, ARM conference executive producer. "Mr. Cross is an outstanding business analyst and communicator with decades of unique experience advising some of the largest and most successful companies. Conference attendees will hear and interact with the undisputed leading expert on optimizing company growth through revenue management."
Mr. Cross, dubbed the "Guru of Revenue Management" by the Wall Street Journal, authored The New York Times Business Best Seller, Revenue Management: Hard Core Tactics for Market Domination (Broadway Books, 1997). He is in demand as a global lecturer on revenue management and is frequently quoted in international business publications.
ARM, sponsored by MultifamilyRevenue.com and the National Apartment Association, was developed as an educational forum for multifamily investors, asset managers, pricing managers and analysts as well as property management executives and quantitative marketing managers. Attendees will not only gain greater knowledge of revenue management as a key business discipline but will learn how to maximize financial yield through the science and art of pricing and revenue management strategies.
Even with more than 100 multifamily companies using revenue management systems, it is still a relatively new concept within the multifamily industry. To help share expertise and topical conversation for apartment pricing professionals, MultifamilyRevenue.com operates a LinkedIn Group where members can share thoughts, strategies and ask questions of others in the industry. Join this free group to be a part of the ongoing conversation: Apartment Pricing Professionals on LinkedIn Group.
