CAI Austin's Conference & Expo bridges the gap between Homeowner Leaders (board members), Community Managers, and the Business Partners that support them. Each Business Partner is looking forward to the face-to-face interaction and the opportunity to present their products and services in a conflict-free exhibit. This environment enables you to consult one-on-one with representatives of companies from across the country. Meet the leading vendors and explore new offerings that meet specific needs within your communities.

Each year the CAI Austin Conference & Expo Committee chooses a theme for the event. This year’s theme is "A Birthday Black & White Affair." – Imagine a "Birthday Black & White Affair" as CAI Austin celebrates its 30th anniversary! Picture a chic gathering adorned in timeless black and white decor, reminiscent of a stylish birthday affair. It's a celebration that captures the essence of sophistication and style, perfect for creating a memorable and visually stunning event experience.

Attendees are invited to dress according to this year's theme. We will be recognizing one outstanding male and one outstanding female for their Black & White Attire. Each winner will be awarded a $50 gift card.
