In November, SPM hosted its 2nd Annual Benchstone Maintenance Conference in Birmingham, Alabama, where over 200 maintenance and corporate team members gathered for an engaging event focused on in-depth training, networking, and building connections. Attendees gained valuable insights from expert speakers who covered a wide array of topics, including multifamily maintenance best practices, fair housing, industry innovations, and workplace strategies.
