Rich Supplemental Content

Attendees to the Summit get an amazing array of practical value-added content

  • Enhanced replays of all live sessions from the Summit

  • Powerful activation guides for each session to help you unleash the practical benefit of the content as action steps

  • An inspirational video series "Who Do You Want to Be?" that framed the entire Summit. We usually aren't that excited by conference material not directly regulation-related, but this was amazing and provided a mental framework for practically addressing fearful times. As fear also drives many compliance decisions, this affected the way we think every day since.

  • Additional Hours of video-based and text-based lessons

  • A rich set of tools - charts, infographics, sample forms, workflows and checklists designed to turbocharge compliance processes and careers

  • Dozens of articles and compiles research from Costello University, Novogradac, Dominium, Boston Capital and other experts

  • A Fair Housing game that can be played along with the recorded version played during the Summit

  • Constantly added value! The supplemental information is constantly being updated.

  • More to come! Several live coaching session webinars are in the early stages of development. These will be available free of additional cost to purchasers of the Summit. Others will pay at least the same amount for these as the Summit costs. This will double the value for Summit attendees!!

2020 Compliance Summit FAQs

Click on the question for the answer

  • How long will I have to view the Summit?

    Through August of 2021. This will be just before the 2021 Compliance Summit, which will be in-person in September in Scottsdale if the safety of attendees allows.

  • I attended the Summit live. Is there any benefit to purchasing this version?

    No. All live attendees also have access to this version of the Summit.

  • Who will benefit most from the Summit?

    The main target audience is housing compliance professionals (for instance staff from housing management, state HFAs, and syndicators), or those with the drive and interest to become one. However, many asset managers, middle-management, and executives who need to understand how compliance affects their portfolio also join us.

  • Will new supplemental content be added over time?

    Yes! As Costello University grows, we will be adding curated content that complements the Summit topics.

  • Do I have to watch the Summit in the original order?

    Not if you don't want to! Unlike other online courses at Costello University that builds on concepts sequentially and requires that topics be followed in order, the Summit different in nature and is open for you to explore in any order you want.

  • Did Grace Robertson explain what the IRS is going to do about ___________ (fill in the blank with the policy of your choice).

    Grace is not a current employee of the IRS and only addressed IRS updates that are available to the public. She DID, however, provides an amazing insight into the development of Section 42 guidance, why some things happen at the IRS, and also some amazing inspiration for anyone in housing facing difficult and uncertian times. She had her share of those!
