13 Reasons Why You Should Attend the Cohousing Conference

  1. You’d need to travel to and attend dozens of separate workshops to gain the knowledge that's packaged all together in this one place.
  2. This is the place you’ll find the world’s most knowledgeable presenters on cohousing and collaborative living.
  3. Our conferences are great for wheel-reinvention prevention. Close to 100 cohousing communities built and inhabited, and most of your burning questions will have been answered by someone who will be there to tell you about them.
  4. The support and advice you’ll receive from our cohousing professionals will cost thousands less than if your group were to contract with them to consult just with you.
  5. With more than 12 pre-conference sessions and 40 workshops to choose from, you'll be able to structure the conference experience that suits you to a tee.
  6. You'll meet lots of new friends who’ll share your values and concerns and your desire to make cohousing work for you.
  7. You’ll meet lots of new friends quite different from yourself, who, you will realize, would make great cohousing neighbors.
  8. You’ll meet many of the committed individuals who created the earliest U.S. cohousing communities and who continue to drive the cohousing movement today.
  9. Sensational keynote speaker John Abrams will put "affordable," "cohousing" and "Martha's Vineyard" together in one sentence. Over and over again.
  10. You'll very likely leave the conference invigorated (or reinvigorated), charged up (or recharged), and inspired (or reinspired) – or all six of these.
  11. The Red Sox have home games during the pre-conference. Night out at Fenway Park, anyone?
  12. You can see cohousing in action: Just sign up for one of three pre-conference bus tours to Massachusetts cohousing communities and attend open house on Sunday afternoon after the conference.
  13. You can stay in the dorms, just like in college. And it's inexpensive, too.

Remember how great the last conference was? What?! You weren't there? Then you really need to attend this time. If you did attend the last one, you will surely remember how worthwhile it was and will know that you don't want to miss this.

A baker’s dozen of reasons to come, and you can undoubtedly add to this list. See you at the conference in Boston, June 12-15... proceed directly to registration without passing Go or collecting $200 -- or anything else for that matter.
