Educational Panels, Industry Exhibitors, Model Homes Sept. 8-10
The SECO Conference of Community Owners reconvenes in about a month at Atlanta’s Cumberland neighborhood, a bustling section of the metro that, among other things, hosts Truist Field, the home park for Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves and the host of this year’s MLB All-Star Game.
SECO is open to all manufactured housing professionals. SECO 2025 will take place Sept. 8-10.
SECO 25 will include an outdoor village-style setting with a collection of model homes featuring the latest designs, structural improvements, architectural features, and “oh wow” technologies that are driving the manufactured housing industry.
This year’s event also marks the beginning of a new relationship, with SECO partnering with the I’m HOME Annual Conference, Sept. 10-11, bringing a broader audience focused on affordable housing solutions and innovation. The I’m Home Conference is operated by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and will be held at an adjacent hotel, the Atlanta Marriott Northwest Galleria.
Tuesday, Sept. 9 will be a crossover day for I’M HOME attendees at SECO, including a collaborative 4 p.m. “Backyard BBQ” in the village.
What’s Happening at SECO 25?
Following a breakfast and welcome on Monday Morning, Indiana Business Research Center Executive Director Dr. Philip T. Powell will present on the economics affecting manufactured housing, followed by Mobile Insurance’s Kurt Kelley providing information on challenges with liability and insurance, an introduction to the sponsors, and an industry lunch. Following lunch, attendees will be provided time to walk through the exhibit hall and to talk with colleagues. The afternoon agenda includes a lenders panel, a talk on Capex projects, and an overview on tree maintenance and liability management.
Tuesday of the event gets into a manufacturers panel, micro-sessions/money makers, a session on chattel financing, and a community owners panel. The half-day Wednesday to close out SECO 25 focuses on community lending programs with a half-hour wrap-up at noon.
Registrants and other guests of SECO 2025 will get the experience of staying at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel, which is a short walk from the ball field and entertainment district with many area attractions, including some of Atlanta’s best eateries.
Approximately 500 manufactured housing professionals are expected to attend SECO 25. The event includes a Monday evening add-on opportunity at Truist Park to watch the Braves host the Chicago Cubs.
