School of Hard Knocks:Temporary Housing Meetup
Not another surface-level conference.
An intimate, high-impact day for temporary housing operators who are done with theory and ready for tactics that move the needle.
Tactical, Not Theoretical
Every session is built around actionable strategies from operators running real portfolios — not motivational fluff.
Connections That Convert
Business partnerships form here. New ideas turn into reality. Our intimate format is designed for exactly that.
Focused Workshops
NEW this year — hands-on workshops designed to help you build your business and implement immediately.
Every Demand Channel
Corporate housing, insurance displacement, government contracts, assisted living — our panelists cover where the money actually comes from.
This is what you're signing up for.
Two years in. Sold out both times. Watch what happens when real operators get in a room together.
Two days. Zero fluff.
Learn from operators, not influencers.
Our panel covers the full spectrum of temporary housing demand channels — from corporate relocations to insurance housing to government contracts.
We're finalizing our speaker lineup for 2026.
