14 August 2023, Philippines: With the aim to drive sustainable growth in the regional real estate sector, the Subdivision and Housing Developers Association, Inc. (SHDA) is set to hold the 31st SHDA – DHSUD National Developers Convention, which is set to take place on October 5 and 6, 2023, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Cebu City. With the theme “LOKAL NA BAI: Building National Growth Through Regional Development.”
The convention is expected to be a gathering of around 300 developers, policymakers, suppliers, and other housing industry stakeholders to discuss and explore innovative strategies that can stimulate economic progress at the local level while contributing to overall national development.
SHDA Chairman, Arlene Keh, said, “We are thrilled to have NatCon this year in Cebu. This year’s convention will be an opportunity to discuss key themes, from regional empowerment to sustainable solutions, as we collectively shape a brighter future for nation building. This brings together the brightest minds in the housing industry that will harness the potential of local communities, driving progress that resonates far beyond geographical boundaries. We at SHDA are embracing this moment with enthusiasm and determination, knowing that our collaborative efforts will pave the way for more inclusive and sustainable housing in the country.”
With SHDA’s continued support for the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), the convention will also provide more insights on the Pambansang Pabahay Para Sa Pilipino (4PH) Program, spearheaded by the current administration. The 4PH Program aims to address the growing housing demand and affordability challenges faced by Filipino citizens.
This coincides with the theme of last year’s NatCon, which aimed to tackle the new Marcos Administration’s priorities for the housing industry. Through a comprehensive approach, the program seeks to provide decent and affordable housing options for low-to-middle-income families, promoting homeownership and community development across the nation.
This year’s National Developers Convention in Cebu will be the third edition held in the city, following the successful events in 2008 and 2015.
Registration for the 31st National Developers Convention will open on August 21, 2023, and will be made available online. To reserve your slots, you may email shda.secretariat@gmail.com.
