Charting the Course at the 2025 User Conference

Sep 2, 2025 | Featured

It’s that time of year again! Preparations are moving full steam ahead for the Emphasys Software 2025 Better Together User Conference, happening December 9–12th at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale.

This year’s conference arrives at a pivotal moment. With major shifts in technology, housing legislation, and program requirements, agencies are navigating more change than ever. At Emphasys, we’re evolving alongside you, and this years conference is our opportunity to chart the course, share what’s next, provide hands-on training, and collaborate on solutions that move us all forward.

Each track is designed to give you actionable insights and practical tools to help your agency succeed. Over three days, you’ll experience:

  • Dedicated Product Tracks – Sessions tailored for Enterprise, Multifamily, Single Family, Financials, Hosting/IT, and Housing Locator, all led by our subject matter experts.

  • Expert-Led Workshops & Sandboxes – Practical, interactive sessions designed to deepen your knowledge and give you the confidence to put new tools into practice.

  • Collaboration & Networking – Connect with agency peers, share experiences, and learn directly from others tackling the same challenges you face.

Education and training are at the heart of the event, but there will also be plenty of opportunity for connection, networking and building relationships. From hallway conversations to our signature Evening Dinner Reception, you’ll have countless opportunities to connect and collaborate colleagues and partners.

We’ve also added a few exciting elements to make 2025 even more valuable:

  • VIP Experience Raffle – Running through October 31. Every webinar you attend earns you an entry to win prizes like an upgraded hotel stay, a custom swag pack, and a $50 Uber gift card.

  • Partner Spotlight Series – Hear directly from other agencies about what’s working for them and how their innovative approaches are making a difference.

Whether you’re a director looking for strategic insights, or a staff member seeking tools to work more efficiently, the User Conference is designed for you. You’ll return with a stronger understanding of your Emphasys solutions, new skills to apply right away, and connections with colleagues who know exactly what it takes to succeed in this space.

At the end of the day, the conference is about more than sessions or software. It’s about coming together as a community—because we truly are better together.
