AIMING to gather the public and private sectors across the Philippines to discuss innovative solutions for the housing development industry, the Subdivision and Housing Developers Association (SHDA) Inc. in partnership with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), will conduct its annual National Developers Convention online with plenary sessions on Oct. 28 to 29, and Nov. 4 to 5, 2021.

With the theme “Beyond The Pandemic: The Future of Housing,” the National Developers Convention 2021 will focus on providing an avenue for housing and property developers, key practitioners in the housing industry from the national and local government, and key stakeholders in the housing sector to tackle how they can collaborate in redesigning the housing industry through innovation and green initiatives with the ultimate goal to create smart subdivisions.

The virtual convention will be delivered via a customized microsite containing offerings and elements that will be educational for all delegates and participants.

SHDA is also hosting the first-ever Pag-Ibig Virtual Housing Fair on the microsite on Oct. 30 and 31, 2021 and invites home buyers to the convention as well.

The event will highlight the most talked-about trends in the housing development sector, including the return on investments on going green for housing projects, disruptive and innovative technologies in housing development and the creation of smart subdivisions, which is a vital component in making smart cities possible.

According to Rosie Tsai-Wang, SHDA chairman, “Our key partner agencies DHSUD, Pag-Ibig, Board of Investments and Anti-Red Tape Authority are committed to resilient building for better homes and process innovations to streamline regulatory choke points. Our speakers will highlight these themes and provide our audience with other important developments in the housing industry.”

“We want to showcase innovative tech solutions to pain points experienced by housing developers. Thinking Machines’ artificial intelligence and data driven tech can help identify development locations, Umpisa’s HomeJoy automates the home buying, selling and financing process, PDP Architects’ BIM-driven design lowers construction costs,” Maya Colayco, SHDA Gov. said.
