In this new season, we are returning to the topic of fraud prevention.

In the 18 months since interviewing all of the best-of-breed fraud providers for Season 1, much has changed both in the technology world, and with the nature of the problem.

This season includes nine episodes, each covering a specific topic that multifamily operators should understand about fraud prevention, featuring conversations with some of the leading experts in the industry.

Episode 1 drops next week - make sure you've subscribed to Tech Talk with 20for20 so you don't miss an episode!

In this episode, Dom sits down with Tyler Christiansen, CEO of Funnel, to unpack the second annual Funnel Forum—an event built around centralization, automation, and AI in multifamily operations.

Dom and Tyler reflect on how the event has evolved, the value of structured discussion for operators navigating change, and how Funnel is positioning its technology strategy for the future. Key topics and takeaways include:

• Funnel Forum’s origin story and purpose

• How this year’s content evolved

• The centralization challenge for third-party managers

• The growing role of contact centers

• How human and AI collaboration is evolving

• Why deal flow is holding back innovation—and what happens when it returns

In this year's 20for20 Annual Survey, we once again asked six leading companies to share a viewpoint about some important aspect of operations and technology. This year, we released a video in which leadership from each company advocates for their viewpoint.

This is a GREAT way to get an explanation of six powerful new insights from companies at the cutting edge of multifamily technology. The viewpoints are:

1. Donald Davidoff, CEO of Real Estate Business Analytics (REBA) presents a new framing of analytics as a lever for control over property performance.

2. Daniel Berlind, CEO of Snappt explains how to think about the increasing complexity of fraud and the layers of capability required to combat it.

3. Jacob Kosior, VP of client strategy with EliseAI describes some of the growing number of examples of how voice AI improves experiences throughout the customer lifecycle.

4. Matt Baird, CTO of AppFolio considers the trade-off between simplicity and complexity in tech acquisition and why it matters in the AI-enabled world.

5. Hope Dunleavy, Enterprise managing consultant at RealFoundations brings a historical perspective on centralization, urging operators to think rethink the “place” in the changing workplace.

6. Michael Lightfoot, CEO of Domuso showcases real-world results from companies using rewards to influence resident behavior and improve experiences.
