Bringing together the most creative and inspiring minds in the new home industry.

On March 12–13, 2019, we gathered for the second time to discuss the latest trends and tackle the industry’s biggest challenges. We learned how great design, great research, and profitability converge—through five keynote presentations, eight panels, one sit-down with an industry legend, one interactive Design Innovation Lab, one game-changing-takeaways roundtable, and hours of networking discussions.

In case you missed our 2019 Housing Design Summit, where 40+ speakers shared design ideas that lead to higher profitability for developers, builders, and product manufacturers, we filmed all presentations and have the slides available for download.
