Innovations in Manufactured Homes (I’m HOME) Annual Conference 2024

The I’m HOME Annual Conference will be held September 24 to 25 in Phoenix, Arizona. After the success of the 2023 conference, the I’m HOME Network is excited to gather again and highlight policy and technical advancements in the manufactured housing industry. The early bird registration is from May 21, 2024 to June 30, 2024. See the Registration Fees section below for details. View a preliminary conference agenda.

This year’s annual conference will center around the theme of resilience. Housing resilience encompasses home quality, community infrastructure, finance, policy, and people. More climate-resilient housing is important because in addition to the benefits of disaster impact mitigation and utility cost savings, resilient housing promotes tenure security, financial health, and long-term affordability. When built well, sited properly, and maintained, manufactured housing can be climate resilient and energy efficient. However, policy issues present obstacles to broader adoption. The annual conference agenda will dig into how to overcome some of these obstacles and highlight how manufactured housing and homeowners embody resilience.

The I’m HOME Network is committed to uplifting manufactured housing as a solution to the United States’ housing issues, and the annual conference will bring together manufactured housing stakeholders including researchers, advocates, policymakers, for-profit and non-profit industry experts, and homeowners to discuss this often-overlooked housing type.

The conference will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort. Rooms can be booked in the I’m HOME room block via this link.
