Share

REfresh Virtual 2025 connected more property managers than ever before. With over 4,400 attendees across Canada and the U.S. — nearly 1,000 more than last year — this year’s event marked a major milestone for the Yardi Breeze Premier community.

Engagement was at an all-time high, with more than 2,000 live chat messages exchanged during the two-day conference. From technical how-tos to big-picture strategies, clients across the country tapped into valuable insights designed to support their day-to-day work and long-term goals.

To everyone who joined us — thank you. Your enthusiasm and participation helped make this our strongest REfresh Virtual yet.
