FCMX 2026 Recap: Our Biggest and Boldest Experience Yet

Posted By: Taylor Tucker CoastLINES Newsletter, Industry,

What an incredible day! On June 10, multifamily professionals from across Northeast Florida came together at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center for FCMX 2026 – The First Coast Multifamily Experience, and thanks to the support of our members, exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, volunteers, and attendees, this year's event exceeded every expectation.

From the moment the doors opened, the energy on the trade show floor was undeniable. Whether attendees were connecting with supplier partners, attending education sessions, participating in hands-on demonstrations at Maintenance Island, competing for exciting prizes, or simply reconnecting with colleagues, FCMX delivered exactly what our industry does best—bringing people together.

Record-Breaking Results

This year wasn't just another successful trade show. It was a milestone for FCAA.
