Great news!  The deadline for grabbing the early bird registration rate for the Vermont Statewide Housing Conference has been extended until Friday, October 14. 

For 20 years, this conference has been Vermont's largest affordable housing gathering. Held the week after the election, it's a great place to discuss the election's impacts on housing, learn from experiences in communities in every corner of the state and meet practitioners from the many sectors affecting housing affordability.  

Morgan Stanley is our newest Platinum level sponsor of the 2022 Vermont Statewide Housing Conference. For over 20 years, the conference has drawn hundreds of Vermonters interested in affordable housing together. After cancelling the conference in 2020, we are excited to again host an in-person event on November 16th at the Hilton Burlington. 

The conference draws hundreds of housing professionals, including legislators, town and regional planners, advocates, developers, and bankers. It offers a unique opportunity to network, learn, and be inspired about housing in Vermont. This exciting event would not be possible without sponsors like Morgan Stanley.

Don't miss your chance to get the discounted early bird rate by registering for the Vermont Statewide Housing Conference by Friday, October 7.   

This year’s conference will focus on what YOU can do to help solve the housing crisis. In addition to hearing from national and state leaders, this conference offers an exciting menu of specialized, interactive break-out sessions focusing on today's hot housing topics. Tools to help attendees turn inspiration into action will be integrated into the conference experience by executive coach Kerry Secrest of Watershed Coaching Consulting, LLC.
