Exclusive Invitation to the
Housing Design Summit

Where Great Design, Research, and Profitability Converge

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.

The 2019 conference summary and content is exclusive to attendees and DesignLens members. If you want a copy of the 2019 conference summary and access to all the videos, please reach out to Jenni Lantz at jlantz@realestateconsulting.com.
