Rising housing costs and limited availability have forced students, faculty, and staff to compete with the general population for housing, driving up prices and leaving campuses struggling to meet demand. Without effective solutions, institutions risk losing prospective students and staff to regions with more affordable options.
Over two days, education administrators, campus planners, real estate developers, and industry professionals will convene to explore innovative housing strategies, financing solutions, and successful development models. Together, we’ll identify actionable solutions to help campuses expand housing access, strengthen recruitment and retention, and enhance the long-term value of their institutions and communities.
With 100 industry-leading speakers, the conference brings together a distinguished network of education administrators, campus planners, real estate developers, and industry experts specializing in student and workforce housing to explore innovative solutions and best practices.
Join leading organizations, institutions, and firms in education, campus planning, real estate development, and student and workforce housing.
