Pre-Conference Asset Management Symposium

Learn more about the Asset Management Symposium

As the tax credit community continues to mature, asset management represents the single biggest opportunity for many firms to improve the performance of their properties and their companies. Asset management can help developers and owners identify opportunities to create value and collaboration, while mitigate risking across their companies and portfolios.

Before we host our annual Summer Institute, NH&RA will host a one-day pre-conference Asset Management Symposium to engage participants in collaborative discussions and sharing.  We will explore strategies to increase cash flow by better managing existing resources and growing expenses.  Structured as a day of moderated break-out discussions and follow-up reports, NH&RA will explore many of the key issues, opportunities, challenges and solutions that industry thought leaders are grappling with.

Multiple registration options are available. You may register for the Asset Management Symposium only, the Summer Institute only, or for both events.
