The manufactured housing industry’s premier event, the MHI Congress & Expo, returns to Orlando, Florida, from May 5 – 7, 2025, with more features than ever. This year’s program brings together industry leaders, innovators, and professionals for three days of education and exploration of the latest advancements in manufactured housing.
The event kicks off on Sunday, May 4, with the Oliver Technologies Golf Open and the Hart Kienle Pentecost/Lutz, Bobo & Telfair Clay Shoot.
These events provide attendees with a chance to meet with other industry professionals in a relaxed setting while supporting the industry’s advocacy efforts.
A highlight this year is the expanded Developing with Manufactured Housing Seminar. Now a day-and-a-half event designed for builders and developers, this in-depth program features training on obtaining land-use approvals, financing options, and case studies on manufactured housing developments. The seminar is led by subject matter experts and includes a tour of the manufactured homes on-site in the MHI Neighborhood.
Monday, May 5, marks the beginning of the National Communities Council Spring Forum, an annual event tailored for home community owners and operators. With the 2025 theme, “The Road Ahead: Innovating and Sustaining the Future,” the forum will explore key industry topics, including AI’s impact on the sector, effective community engagement strategies, and emerging market opportunities.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner has been confirmed as the keynote speaker at the event, MHI said in a recent statement.
In 2025, the expo hall is bigger and more dynamic than ever, spanning 60,000 square feet and featuring more than 170 exhibitor booths showcasing the latest products and services. The hall includes interactive lounges, afternoon mixers, and the debut of the MHI Learning Lab — a dedicated theater on the show floor where exhibitors will present educational sessions.
Scheduled speakers include representatives from GAF Energy, ManageAmerica, and Rent Manager. Additionally, Manufactured Homes Sales Mastery will launch a new, interactive training platform for MHEI’s Professional Housing Consultant program.
Another returning highlight for the 2025 Congress & Expo is the MHI Neighborhood, displaying a range of the industry’s latest manufactured homes. The outdoor installation will be open from Monday, May 5, at 5 p.m. through Wednesday, May 7, at 10:45 a.m.
To further enhance the attendee experience, this year’s event features three distinct workshop tracks:
Newcomers Track — Ideal for those who are new to the manufactured housing industry, with fundamental content and the popular Guided Newcomer Roundtable.
Industry Hot Topics Track — Covering pressing industry issues, including zoning, rent control, and lending challenges.
