Zillow's Housing Roadmap to 2016 Kick-Off

Zillow, the leading real estate information marketplace, announces its latest housing event to be held on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 at the Knight Conference Center at the Newseum in Washington, DC. Zillow’s housing roadmap to 2016 kicks off with U.S. HUD Secretary Julián Castro who will be discussing the Obama administration’s most recent housing initiatives. Following the fireside chat, a panel of experts will debate and discuss housing trends and policies from different communities around the country and serve as an incubator of new ideas as we begin to identify the housing issues that will have the greatest impact over the next two years. The event will conclude with an open discussion, where participants will be encouraged to voice ideas and ask questions to the panelists on stage as well as to other members of the audience.
