Network Gatherings

A major offering to our network is our in-person invite-only Innovator’s Network Gathering. We host this intimate event in different communities throughout California roughly every year, and they balance opportunities for deep peer learning and sharing, relationship building and open space to brainstorm, play with and project plan around shared big ideas in housing.

The role of the Innovators Network is to:

  • Enable ideas to move to action by advancing co-created initiatives and making space for emergent opportunities
  • Build and deepen relationships to strengthen collaboration and innovation across the California housing ecosystem
  • Build capabilities that elevate the regenerative and equitable potential of California housing innovators

Together we can build a housing system that’s good for California’s people, communities, and environment.
