Maintenance Challenges – Ask The Experts

Two days are never the same when dealing with maintenance challenges.  Keeping in line with our IHM Monthly Chat Rooms, this session of Ask the Experts will discuss topics that range from conducting unit inspections to coordinating pest control to managing contractors to electrical/plumbing breakdowns and best practices – the list goes on and on.

The Ask the Experts session is your opportunity to engage with industry experts, ask questions and gain valuable insights.  While we encourage submitting your questions in advance, we also anticipate that this interactive session will raise new topics to address in person.  

Ask the Experts is the wrap-up session for the 2025 IHM Annual Educational Conference, and it’s an important one.  We’ve allowed extra time to ensure every question is answered so you’ll leave with the solutions and strategies needed to tackle your maintenance challenges with confidence.
