Updates from Washington. NMHC experts discuss how legislative and regulatory policy impacting infrastructure, taxes, capital markets, and other issues could impact the industry and your bottom line.

Health Screening Requirements

For the health and safety of all our attendees, NMHC will have additional health screening protocols at the 2021 Student Housing Conference.

All attendees must show either:

Provide proof of vaccination to SafeExpo (the firm we’ve hired to manage this process); or
Provide a negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours of the first day of attending the Student Housing Conference.

Attendees who are not fully vaccinated or have not provided their vaccination information will also have to undergo daily health checks.

To be considered fully vaccinated, attendees must have gotten their second Pfizer/Moderna shot or single J&J shot by September 19.

NOTE: Members who attended NMHC’s Annual Meeting in June or NMHC's Fall Meeting in September will still have to re-submit their vaccination records. To protect your privacy, our Health Screening company does not retain records from previous events and destroys them once they have been reviewed.

Health Screening Process Overview

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Don't get lured in. In the past, sleeping room wholesalers have contacted attendees offering great deals on hotels for the NMHC Student Housing Conference. While it is not illegal for a travel firm or booking agent to solicit potential customers, it can be difficult to determine the legitimacy of offers from these organizations. Those who opt for alternatives to the NMHC negotiated rates may find themselves at risk. NMHC reminds its attendees that we have no affiliation with any of these room brokers.
