We’re headed to Denver for our 2023 Housing Innovation Summit that we’re co-hosting with the University of Denver. Throughout the program, we’ll share insights for ensuring operational agility (Design + Build); driving greater business resilience (ESG); creating customers for life (Home as a Service); attracting + retaining tomorrow’s leaders (Talent); and digitally empowering the team (Tech + Data).
On Day 2 (April 26, 2023) of the Housing Innovation Summit, attendees will have the ability to change their scenery and their mindset by choosing their program: Innovation in Action Tours or Pitchfest. Keep reading to hear more about the tours and learn more about Pitchfest before you make your decision.
Choose the Innovation In Action Tours to get a backstage pass to best-of projects in the Denver market. We’ll pick you up via shuttle service at one of our designated hotels, courtesy of Urban Cottages, and travel to each of the places below. We’ll get back to the DU Campus for an afternoon (4:00 p.m.) keynote from KP Reddy, Founder and CEO of Shadow Ventures, the announcement of Pitchfest winners and a happy hour where we can reconnect with other Summit attendees…
