San Diego – November 20, 2024 – MRI Software, a global leader in real estate solutions and services, hosted its 2024 North American users conference, MRI Ascend, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego on October 20-23. The event was attended by more than 1,100 professionals from across the real estate industry, representing commercial, multifamily, affordable and public housing, and property investment.

“MRI Ascend is the best opportunity for our clients and partners to hear firsthand about the latest PropTech advancements from MRI,” said John Ensign, President and Executive Managing Director of North America, MRI Software. “We enjoyed demonstrating the power of next-generation MRI Property Management X and MRI Agora Insights, which offers new AI-powered natural language query functionality through Ask Agora to enable unparalleled access to data and insights from a unified source of truth.”

This year’s agenda featured more than 100 educational sessions across four days, led by MRI and partner experts to help clients get the most from their technology and learn about forthcoming enhancements. Classes ranged from beginning to advanced, covering MRI’s broad solutions portfolio. During the multiple keynote presentations, clients heard from MRI executives and product leaders about the value of AI-powered PropTech to provide unified insights, optimize efficiency, and drive decision-making.

The MRI Software Foundation partners with The Lucky Duck Foundation

As part of its commitment to giving back to the communities it serves, MRI partnered with The Lucky Duck Foundation, whose mission is to alleviate the suffering of San Diego County’s homeless population. Through the generosity of clients, technology partners, onsite partners, employees, and a grant from the MRI Software Foundation, the Ascend event raised over $28,000. The founders of the Lucky Duck Foundation will match the donation, meaning that the local community will benefit from $56,000 in support. This contribution will have a tangible impact on the lives of some of the most vulnerable individuals in San Diego County.

MRI looks forward to hosting its 2025 North American Ascend users conference at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
