More Americans are struggling to keep pace with the cost of housing as rents and home prices have soared.

This summer, Congress passed the first major legislation in decades aimed at increasing the nation’s housing stock. But as federal agencies and local governments implement its provisions — from limits on institutional investors to incentives for new construction — questions remain about whether policy changes will do enough to lower prices.

Join POLITICO for in-depth conversations on what it will take to make housing more affordable.

Additional speakers to be announced.

POLITICO is launching a new signature event series that will define the next era of global AI and technology policy.

As the development and deployment of artificial intelligence transforms the economy and society, decisions being made today by policymakers and executives will determine who leads and who is left behind. To convene the leaders shaping that future, POLITICO will host two complementary flagship gatherings: one in Washington, where policymakers are crafting the rules of the road for AI, and one in San Francisco, where the technologies driving the next wave of innovation are being built. Each event will bring together a global mix of policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, investors and innovators for high-level conversations on the decisions shaping the future of AI.

Together, these events will create a high-impact platform for the conversations defining the AI era — from regulation and national security to infrastructure, energy, global competition and enterprise adoption. With POLITICO’s unmatched authority at the intersection of power and policy, this series offers partners a unique opportunity to align their brands with the leaders, ideas, and decisions shaping the future of technology on a global scale.
