Thanks to the support of our industry sponsors, we will again offer free conference registration to employees of TDHEs, tribes, Alaska Native groups and Native Hawaiian organizations. Keep an eye out for registration to open later this year.

To help with early planning, we’ve added a tentative schedule on our website. You can view it here. We’ll soon be adding more to our agenda, including instruction on the Low Income Housing Tax Credit and New Markets Tax Credit programs, asset management/compliance, environmental services, and architectural design and construction monitoring.
