🎤 Meet our 2026 Keynote: Keri Laine. 🎤

Keri has spent more than two decades in boardrooms and war rooms alongside CEOs, investors and leadership teams — and she knows the homebuilding industry from the inside as a former HR executive at Meritage Homes and Park Square Homes.

Through her Infinite Return on Relationships (iRoR) framework, she has coached more than 250 executives and founders on the idea that leaders who invest authentically in people see returns compound in trust, ex*****on and enterprise value.

We cannot wait to hear what she brings to the stage on October 23.

507 of 539 CA Jurisdictions Now Subject to Streamlined Housing Approvals
HCD's newly released 2026 Streamlining Determinations show the vast majority of California jurisdictions must now fast-track qualifying housing projects — 329 requiring at least 10% affordability, 178 requiring 50%+.
Statewide permitting is up 2% year-over-year. Streamlining is working — and it's expanding.

A First for California: ADU Condo Ownership

San Jose recorded the state's first-ever sale of an ADU as a separately owned condo — a 749-sq-ft, two-bedroom unit that sold for $530,000 under 2023's AB 1033.

That's roughly a quarter of Santa Clara County's $2.1M median single-family home price — a meaningful new path to homeownership in one of the nation's toughest markets.
